McCormick & Schmick’s

not a bad pick if you’re looking for a food happy hour more than a drinking one the lowdown: ★★★ solid happy hour if in the area. $ (<$5 food specials, drinks ~$7) good for small groups go for happy hour,

David Burke’s Primehouse

Delightful. the lowdown: ★★★★1/2 i’d run back here if money grew on trees. lollipop trees. $$$$ (~$200-300/couple) dressy/casual good for groups, date night wine and bar go for dinner, but serves brunch & lunch neighborhood: streeterville/river north parking would be tough
