Let's start with the good.
It is a very nice space. I would definitely go back to sit at the bar and maybe get a quick appetizer if I am in the area. We were sat in the main dining area. It was fine. It was a nice clean space. The lobster bisque was solid and the bread servi

Excellent steak
Went there for a business dinner. Had oysters and lobster bisque soup to start - which was very good. The star dish was the filet mignon- cooked medium rare as recommended. It was tender, well-seasoned and almost melt-in-the-mouth steak. Only desert
Excellent filet mignon
I had a truly excellent, succulent, tender and very tasty filet mignon. It is truly the best steak I have ever had. Waiter service was attentive and efficient and the staff were very courteous.
This is a must do for us in Chicago.
Absolutely loved this restaurant. We came here for dinner before a concert. The specials and music playing reflected the show that we were seeing and added to the ambience of the experience. Very upscale dining but we were completely comfortable in c

The people make this place unique
I’ve been to most of the best steakhouses in Chicago so took family here for a special celebration to try something new. And what a wonderful decision that was! The food is exceptional and the building historic - both things I expected. What set

One of the best restaurants I have been to in Chicago
One of the best restaurants I’ve been to in Chicago area. The atmosphere of the restaurant is very elegant. I’ve driven by here 1000 times and didn’t think that it could look like it does inside. Gorgeous. It’s been open 25 years this year
Great steak
Great Steak place with excellent service. Alex our waiter was outstanding. Order the Executive off the menu it feeds two people or more. You won't finish everything but oh so good
What a wonderful place !
The food was wonderful the service was beyond fantastic. This was our dressy nice dinner and we were not disappointed!!!
Connect with users posting reservations for The Chicago Firehouse Restaurant
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with The Chicago Firehouse Restaurant. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to The Chicago Firehouse Restaurant at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the The Chicago Firehouse Restaurant page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* DistinguishedTree58, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* DistinguishedTree58 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to DistinguishedTree58 for any questions Peter may have as DistinguishedTree58 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* DistinguishedTree58 now uses their connections at The Chicago Firehouse Restaurant to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If DistinguishedTree58 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, DistinguishedTree58 receives the $200 reward which is credited to DistinguishedTree58's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at The Chicago Firehouse Restaurant!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
