- The Lobby (can the Pen do anything poorly, except charge too much?

)
- Naha
- Nick's
- 437 Rush
- Republic
- Roy's (even though it's a chain, food is consistently good)
- Seasons Cafe
- Smith & Wollensky (I'm not a steak fan, but this place is good)

I don't like:

- AigreDoux (looks nice from the outside, food is so-so)
- Aria (average)
- Brazzaz (another dumb Brazilian steakhouse)
- Buca de Beppo (TGIF of Italian)
- Carnivale (fun bar, bad food)
- Devon Seafood (another overpriced, overrated River North spot)
- Fogo de Chao (see Brazzaz)
- Landmark (more of a bar spot)
- Park Grill (location is good, food is average)
- Riva (on Navy Pier, need I say more?)
- Ruth's Chris (boring steakhouse, but if you like steak, I hear it's good)
- Shula's (TGIF of steak houses)
- SushiSamba (trendy scene, food is at best average)
- Viand (Marriott Courtyard restaurant)

Surprisingly, I like your list and agree with most of your choices at least with regard to those that I've been to (and you haven't been to all of them either). I do like Fogo de Chao (overpriced, but good - the best salad bar I've ever seen and would go just for that). I also like Park Grill and see nothing special about Bistro 110.
