In this case, I would have called what I got much closer to medium rare the inside of the steak wasn't pink, but much closer to red. And the steak? Melt-in-your-mouth tender! I always order medium, and it's interesting these days to see what that means to the chef. I had scallops in bacon butter sauce for my appetizer, and they were delicious! The scallops were cooked perfectly: tender, flavorful, and oh so tasty. Beyond that, there's food! It's a steakhouse, of course. The decor is very reminiscent of the burlesque days, with an emphasis (not terribly heavy) on deep, plush reds, as you would expect. They are attired in stereotypical burlesque outfits: one piece outfits that offer an obvious yet respectable amount of cleavage, with fishnet stockings and not too much lace or frills. The waitresses are, well, the reason for the oooo la la title. The waiters are all wearing formal attire - tuxedoes without the jackets. (You're in the home city of Hugh Hefner, remember!) There are plenty of different seating options, including a small semi-private room right at the entrance comfortable booths and a seating area around the bar with a piano and live entertainment. ![]() It's a classic old steakhouse, and intentionally invokes the burlesque era. Gaslight Club: Fine dining at airport - See 163 traveler reviews, 101 candid photos, and great deals for Chicago, IL, at Tripadvisor. But.we will pay for traditional values.won't we? And no other airport I know of has this kind of entertainment onsite such as Ohare has.The Gaslight Club is an old, family owned restaurant on the property of the O'Hare Hilton in Chicago. The whole night was a treat.though it does remind one of the cost of having a good time in Chicago. But then the gorgeous and talented cocktail waitress got up and did a GREAT job on a couple tough broadway style numbers. The pianoplayer allowed people to "sit in" and sing with her.and Sami Scot the entertainer is one of Chicagos finest traditions of this nature. The traditional pianobar was live and well on this Monday night we were there. I don't think the atmosphere has changed at all in 20 years.which speaks well for the staying power of old fashioned "gentlemens club" atmosphere where men are men, women are sufficiently sexy and everyone appreciates the difference. While it was more of a bar night than meal, the people I was with said the food is still great there even if the prices are a bit high. Having been many years since I lived in Chicago, it was nice to see this past month while there that the Gaslight Club is still alive and well. all in all I'd recommend this restaurant. I felt the service to be attentive and efficient without coming close to being overbearing/intruding. the piano bar was a great throw back to bygone days.and she was good! Mostly just played but she also sang a few songs. the menu is not overly extensive, but they offer nice choices.quite a few pupu (Hawaiian speak for appetizers), but we skipped those.if we had ordered I would have taken the scallops in lemon butter.12$ I did order up a Caesar salad, the dressing was right there, complete with anchovy in it, but I was disappointed in that the Romaine had the beginnings of 'rust' on the white ribs/centers and was just a tad past.but it wasn't soggy and I just took it for what it was.7.75$ Mom wanted salad too and went for the entree Caesar w/cajun chicken, which was an entire breast grilled cajun and cut into 'fingers'.it was tasty and she had some left over chicken strips for her brekkie.19.75$ for my dinner I went with the chicken Monte Carlo, traditional dish prepared with prosciutto and cheese.lots of both! This was served over a generous 'heap' of spinach that was sauteed with garlic, which was some ono! It was alot to eat as it was a split breast, but I forced it all down.22.75$ they have a great selection of wines by the glass, and it's a most generous pour, also the server knew every wine and vineyard, I went for the Malbec and was not even close to being was velvety smooth and tasty.of course I had to have another glass.can't recall the exact price, but it was under 10$. ![]() I found the decor on the charming side, certainly it was old World/old West with brocade wallpaper, leather booths, a HUGE chandelier hanging in the bar/piano bar room etc etc. I had checked out both menus earlier and was abit hesitant to take my Mom there as the 'girls' aka waitstaff are, ah, scantily clad in what others who have reviewed this place refer to as dress from the old 'Gentlemens' clubs.but Mom was fine with it. I was staying overnight at the Hilton O'Hare with my Mom and I opted for the Gaslight Club over the other on site restaurant, based in part on price. ![]()
