The Cheesecake Factory at the bottom of the Hancock Observatory is good!
Chicago is filled with great restaurants, but you're going to have to go more upscale. The places you've visited don't pretend to offer fabulous food.



I love Vinci, Sapori, and Coco Pazzo for Italian food. (We tried the hot new restaurant, Cibo Matto, recently, but while the food is fine, the place is overcrowded and understaffed.) The Spiaggia Cafe is a less expensive alternative to the main Spiaggia restaurant.



I enjoyed Gaylord for Indian food, and there's a good Thai restaurant -- the Snail -- in my neighborhood of Hyde Park. We also have Medici, largely an inexpensive pizza and pasta restaurant, though I am not a pizza connoisseur, Piccolo Mondo (Italian), La Petite Folie (upscale French), and various ethnic dining spots on 55th Street.



My husband, a Philly native, claims that it's impossible to find a good cheesesteak here. He did love the Frontera Grill for Mexican food.Restaurants that are ACTUALLY good in chicago?
I love Heaven on Seven. I like the first one in the Garland office building. Great cajun food. 111 N Wabash Ave. (across the street from Macy's)

I think you should check out http://www.restaurant.com look at the restaurant menus that are listed. If you purchase a coupon make sure it is valid for the day and time you want to use it. Just put in Illinois into the search then search Chicago. There are 100's of listings.

I think you should also try a few other pizza places I do not particularly like Giordano's pizza.

Smoque is supposed to have some awesome BBQ but I have heard you have to get there early as they do sell out of some items.
