Mike's desserts could use some real work, I concur.  However, Mike's ribeye is fantastic. Could Shallot's Delmonico be better? Sure, it's debatable. But no one is arguing Shallot's isn't better--I'm simply saying it's not in a different parsha.
We're arguing in semantics than.
Yes, both Shallot's and Mike's are phenomenal.  However neither gives you everything the other offers and it's good reason to go to both.

Anyway what was the steak we split at the new Mike's? You were impressed by it?

All I've been saying to TimT is that Shallot's isn't a 25 on a scale of 1-10, with Mike's or LM being a 9, that's all.

"USDA Prime Grade Cote de Boeuf for Two" -- Nope, quite underwhelming, actually. But that doesn't really compel the conclusion Shallot's is a 25.

Still worth 15-17.5K avios to try Shallot's out if you haven't.

If there's interest I don't see why not.

Hmm. How about Break fast at Shallots and then a trip to Mikes? That should solve this issue

Another ORD guy PMd me that he's in as well.

Anyone want to fly in aside from me and AJK for 15K BA or 10K UA+7.5K BA?
We'd both do same day turns.
