I've been to a LOT of restaurants in Chicago. Tru is very good, as is Everest. Joe's Stone Crab does a great job on steaks, and Tomboy has some of the best lamb chops I've ever had. Ditka's is good if you like pork chops.
That all said, my favorite place that combines atmosphere, a little elbow room and great food is 200 East. It's on Chestnut, and they'll remember you by name the third or fourth time you go in the place. Try the Brickhouse chicken.
