As Beyoncé visits Chicago this weekend, we’d like to take a trip down memory lane. Let’s rewind to 2014: Solange and Jay-Z had a dramatic confrontation in an elevator after the Met Gala, Blue Ivy was just a baby, and the On the Run Tour with Beyoncé and Jay-Z was in full swing.
Before their concert in Chicago, the couple dined at an iconic steakhouse in the city. At that time, Chicago Cut Steakhouse was famous for being the place where the married couple, along with Blue Ivy, enjoyed a meal together.
Does Chicago Cut Steakhouse still hold its reputation a decade later?
Chicago Cut remains a popular steakhouse for celebrating special moments—a corporate dinner, a 30th birthday, or a big Friday night out where you want an upscale, satisfying meal.
The steakhouse is still located right on the river, offering a lively dining room with large glass windows that offer scenic views of the water. When it comes to classic Chicago steakhouse cuisine, you’ll have plenty of options. The steak offerings range from a center barrel-cut filet mignon to “The Holy Grail,” a bone-in Prime Rib.
While Chicago Cut is on the pricier side, its non-pretentious atmosphere allows guests to sit back and relax, likely one of the reasons Beyoncé and Jay-Z chose it as their dinner spot.
So, what did Beyoncé and Jay-Z order from Chicago Cut?
According to NBC, the group ordered tuna tartare, sliders, steak, and salmon, sharing everything family-style and washing it all down with a couple of glasses of rosé.
