Since opening in 1991, Kinzie Chophouse has remained a cornerstone of Chicago dining. Rooted in the energy of River North, Kinzie pairs the traditions of a classic Chicago steakhouse with the warmth of Mediterranean hospitality–woven into everything from the welcome at the door to the menu itself. On the plate, Kinzie showcases both wet- and dry-aged prime cuts from longtime purveyor Meats by Linz, served alongside fresh seafood and timeless steakhouse sides. Complemented by tableside steak presentations and an award-winning wine program, Kinzie Chophouse is the kind of restaurant where regulars return and newcomers feel at home–a neighborhood steakhouse that is unmistakably Chicago.
