Prime Minister in Northbrook is good too, but they are inconsistent. Sometimes they are amazing, sometimes just mediocre.
You might like the Ram, but it's a chain. It's a sports bar type restaurant with decent food.

Has anyone tried this place yet? This used to be the old Jim McMahon's place that looked like a miniature of the United Center.

A coworker ate at Rams last night, said that it was very good. Apparently they have a ton of beers available. I am making a point of getting there soon, hopeully next week if not tonight.
Several of us are headed to the Churascaria by Prime Minister mid-week next week as well.
Have to say that the in-hotel options, for the most part, around here are lackluster.
I've been hopping around a bit to get lots of stay credits for SPG, and have sampled some really bad cuisine at the Sheratons here.

I skipped an appetizer (normal fare of onion rings, wings, quesadillas) and opted for a house salad and a Border Burger done medium. Salad was just fine. Burger was good sized, cooked medium, Nebraska beef (ohh, OK
) and filled me right up. The place was pretty crowded due to the White Sox/LAA game being on. But we, 3 of us, were ale to get a table in about 5 minutes and the service was decent. We didn't wait too long for food. We did have to wait for drinks a little too long, but it was a busy night.I'd go back again to watch a football or baseball game, but not just to eat dinner.
