Gibson's Bar & Steakhouse

To celebrate my birthday this year, we grabbed lunch at Gibson's Bar & Steakhouse on N Rush St between Cedar St and Oak St.

According to Gibson's: "We are the only restaurant group in the country to have its own USDA Certification. Our beef is breed specific, Black Angus, and raised on sustainable farms in the Upper Midwest. Our beef is corn fed for 120 days and aged for 40 days, providing maximum flavor and tenderness."

The restaurant is very nice. It's not pretentious, and the service is friendly and helpful.

I ordered the 10 oz Filet Mignon medium well. It was a thick cut, and lightly pink in the middle, but not too pink for me, and it was a little charred on the outside. It was tender and tasty. It came with perfectly made BĂ©arnaise sauce on the side. It came with a soup or house salad to start, and I chose the Bookbinder's Soup, which I shared with my partner. It's a tomato-based soup with carrots, celery, green peppers, leeks, mushrooms, and whitefish. It had a very rich flavor without being too filling as a first course.

I also ordered the Double Baked Potato as a side. All of their sides are huge and fit to share. The Double Baked Potato was fantastic, and I highly recommend it.
