Winner of 2016 Best New Restaurant.Primo sure does live up to it's name!PRIMO (meaning “The Best” in Italian) is our interpretation of the marriage of a classic American steakhouse and a signature Italian restaurant. Replete with soaring ceilings, Italian marble, and custom furniture, PRIMO's grand and dramatic dining instantly sets a luxurious yet comfortable tone. The atmosphere is rivaled only by the menu, which is composed of both Prime and Grass Fed steaks, chops, and classic Italian dishes inspired by the vast regions of Italy. PRIMO's menu is both familiar and sophisticated, and complimented perfectly by our 100+ bottle wine list.

Visited Daisies for a holiday dinner and a belated birthday celebration. My friend and I couldn’t have been treated with better service and consideration by the staff and kitchen. Daisies is a true gem in Logan Square.

A spectacular meal, Fernando was an exceptional host. We experienced the tasting menu, and every course exceeded our expectations. (Which says a lot considering it was competing with its own near-perfection!) Bravo, Boka!

I chose 4 stars for service only because we waited a long time for our good; much longer than any other time we’ve eaten at Steven’s. Thee weren’t any obvious hard dishes to put together. Half hour wait is a long time. The food was good as usual, but the wait time put a damper on our gathering.
