About this venue
Since 2006, we’ve set a high standard for steakhouse dining, and now we’re bringing our expertise to the historic LaSalle Powerhouse. Built in 1886, this iconic building, once a bustling transport hub and later home to Michael Jordan’s Restaurant, now houses our unique blend of heritage and modernity. We’ve revitalized its 16,500 sq ft space, preserving the charm of barrel-vaulted ceilings and exposed timber joists, while adding touches inspired by the ‘Golden Age of Travel.’ As a proud B Corp, we’re dedicated to the best food practices. Our menu features all-natural beef from ethically reared cattle, carefully cooked over live-fire charcoal, along with sustainable seafood, fresh local produce, and artisanal cheeses.

Lady Bird 3rd
“One of the best steakhouses in the world has finally arrived in the Windy City.”
Nestled away within the restaurant, Lady Bird is our more intimate private dining room, set apart and entirely your own. It seats up to 16 guests. Named after a champion Devon cow born in 1891. The walls are lined with artwork drawn from Chicago’s beef heritage alongside details from some of the city’s most storied restaurants. The room brings together rich wood paneling, warm light, and a touch of mid-century character. The perfect space for an intimate dinner and celebration.

Big Mike
“One of the best steakhouses in the world has finally arrived in the Windy City.”
Tucked away upstairs, Big Mike is our larger private dining room and a space that feels entirely your own. Named after a champion Shorthorn bull born in 1919, with a quiet nod to Michael Jordan, the greatest of the Chicago Bulls, whose restaurant once stood here. The curved ceiling takes its cue from the railroad cars the building once powered. With warm, generous service and menus tailored to the occasion, Big Mike is the kind of room people remember long after the last plate has been cleared.
