Experts' Choice Award Erie Cafe
What the experts agree on
Hidden gem steakhouse where old-school charm meets quality meat and Italian classics. Unpretentious vibe draws a business crowd; expect a loyal, longtime clientele in a tucked-away location.
“A "solid contender in the steakhouse sweepstakes", this "oldie" in an "obscure" part of River North offers "a good hunk o' meat without the pretension."”
– Zagat
BlackBook "You'll find a number of old-school steakhouses in the River North dining district, but most cater to an old-school crowd."

Ignore the flavorless housemade ravioli and make a meal out of the baked clams and a steak.
