As a chicago resident, I’m accustomed great restaurants…especially a great steak!! Porfirios was simply a great meal. The steak (special) was outstanding. My kids loved their sirloin too. They made for great tacos. The service was attentive. And, what a great addition with the mariachi and Mayan dance performance. Truly appreciated our time and recommend to anyone looking for a quality dinner away from the hotel.

About the restaurant

This beautiful, upscale restaurant is one of the establishments that will surely meet and exceed the expectations of a discerning public seeking a truly exceptional dining experience.

However what really characterizes Harry's beyond its beauty and location, is the extraordinary high quality of its gastronomic offer. The kitchen specializes in the very reduced use of condiments, the purpose is to allow the natural flavors of the ingredients to be used flourish.

Harry's Prime Steakhouse & Raw Bar is the best place to enjoy that special occasion. From its beautiful architecture, sophisticated ambience and artistic cuisine to the extensive wine list and impeccable service will make it memorable.

Francesco welcomed us, David was our server. He was an excellent host, he was very attentive, he made recommendations and tasty food pairings. The Toro old Fashioned is a highlight to kick off the dinner. The mixologist was working his craft, very fun to watch while enjoying very yummie food. Dessert was thé bomb, (literally and figuratively, sweets all over).
