Nothing but the best for us! Why waste time and money at the Chicago
Chop House when there is the Berghoff! CNN ranked them number 10 in the
US and they certainly deserve that ranking based on what we found last
year. Wonderful food and surprisingly inexpensive especially considering
what we have experienced elsewhere.

Thanks, Laura for taking us to the Berghoff last year you are a great
Chicago guide! I'm looking forward to returning in October. Also, thanks
for finding this review so we now know it was as good as we thought it
was. I'm going to appreciate it more this year! Good thing it's not just
for men anymore! :)

Subject: Fwd: CNN - Best Historic Restaurants

http://www.cnn.com/2012/08/20/travel/historic-restaurants-united-states/index.html?hpt=hp_bn10

STORY HIGHLIGHTS
Trends come and go, but these restaurants have lasted through the decades
Keens Steakhouse in New York was founded in 1885
Great architecture and inventive cuisine are married at Canlis in Seattle
Cisco's Bakery is widely known for serving the best breakfast in Austin

(CNN) -- Eating well while traveling doesn't always mean hitting up the
newest, hottest and trendiest locales. Besides, given the notoriously
high failure rate in the restaurant industry, chances are the memorable
new restaurant you try this year won't be around in the years to come.

Those who want a side of history with their dinners -- and a higher
probability for a return visit -- should seek out some of America's
wonderful, still-thriving historic restaurants, from the centuries-old
steakhouses in Manhattan to San Francisco's 100-year-old seafood counter

Sample some typical German fare at Chicago's Berghoff.

Those seeking a historic Chicago dining experience with actual chairs
and tables better head toward the Berghoff, the 114 year-old German icon
and one of the oldest family-run businesses in the country. What started
as a men's-only beer hall to showcase the Berghoff family's signature
beer has evolved over the century into a modern German restaurant with
pierogis, Jager schnitzel, beer-battered cod and some un-German
selections like mushroom paninis and Cajun chicken salads. 17 West Adams
Street Chicago, IL 60603

The one I'm fond of for Chicago no-bull ratings is Centerstage:

http://www.centerstagechicago.com/restaurants/directory/

I have quite a few ratings and comments in there.

Frustratingly, though, Berghoff's entry generates and error and has for
some time. :(

There's also the ubiquitous Yelp. I enetered a good review of Berghoff
last year and a scathing review of you-know-what.

From the Calumet Fisheries link you can find
http://www.opinionatedaboutdining.com/2012/slideshow_index.html which
has lots of restaurant reviews in different categories in different
regions.
