Steaks are in the spotlight here, but the eclectic chicken and fish dishes -- chicken parmigiana, sesame-crusted ahi tuna, peppercorn halibut -- are what Raters appreciate most. Side dishes such as the Gorgonzola tart are unusual, and the menu offers such a wide range of options that even vegetarians can find something to eat.

My steak was tough and full of gristle. I was disappointed. This place seems like a good old boy hangout, maybe even like the mob or something, like an old cigar bar. Lots of people to see and be seen, but the food just wasn't good.

In a gravelly voice, one said, "If you want a good steak, go to Kinzie's." His friend agreed. (We went in early evening.)Truer words were never spoken. My aged ribeye was one of the best 3 steaks I have...
