| - Wife and I had an enjoyable dinner there on Valentine's Day. My first drink was a Laphrogia (?) and water. Didn't like it and the waitress said it was the bottom of the bottle. She offered to get it from a fresh bottle, but I just changed my order. Then, our first round of cocktails was very good, well poured and mixed very well. And the Pot Roast Nachos were excellent.
The second round of drinks, however, we had to send back. They tasted almost like they had changed bartenders and recipes. But our waitress was more than glad to get them fixed, and upon return, we had a couple excellent cocktails again.
For our entrees, wife had a Filet Mignon that was cooked properly to her order. It was however, maybe a little too lean. It was tender but did not overwhelm with flavor as you would hope for at a high end restaurant. But, I had the Kick Ass 20 oz bone-in Ribeye and my doctor is still yelling at me about it!! It was flavorful, so moist, so tender, just so decadent, I'm sure my cholesterol went up 20 points as soon as it hit the table. Absolutely delicious. And I'm not much on mashed potatoes these days. But what we had at Ditka's were awesome, it was hard to stop eating them. And the wine that our waitress recommended (Keenan Cab) was very smooth and flavorful.
Overall, a very good dinner with understanding service. We'll be back.
