About Adalina Prime
A salt library of more than a dozen salts sits at the centre of the steak service at Adalina Prime, a steak house on N Green St in Chicago, letting diners finish a cut with truffle, porcini and balsamic, vanilla or smoked bourbon. Cuts run from the City Filet and NY Strip to a dry aged ribeye and a 32oz tomahawk, with sides such as lobster cream corn and mac and cheese made with gnocchi noodles. A raw bar covers oysters of the day, caviar service with chips and a seafood tower, and bread arrives as a trio tower of Parker House rolls and cheddar biscuits with butters shaped as cows. Martinis are poured tableside, alongside mocktails including Purple Rain. Dessert runs to strawberry cake and Apple Crumble Pie. The kitchen also cooks for vegetarians across a menu of around 69 dishes. A private dining room handles groups, valet parking is offered, and tables in the bar are reservation only. The doors open daily.

Customer Review Summary
Steaks dominate the praise: the City Filet, NY Strip, StoneAx, dry aged ribeye and a shared 32oz tomahawk are all described as cooked to perfection and tender, though one diner has had better elsewhere and another rates the cooking good rather than mindblowing. Close behind sits the salt library, with reviewers singling out truffle, porcini and balsamic, mushroom and vanilla, while one calls the smoked bourbon a questionable choice. Sides draw repeat mentions, lobster cream corn, whipped potatoes, Brussels sprouts, mac made with gnocchi noodles and the lobster pot pie, along with caviar service and the trio bread tower with cow-shaped butters. Desserts split the room: the strawberry cake and strawberry pie are twice called dry and stale, while the strawberry soft serve and apple crumble pie win raves. A few flag the muddled W.T.F. amuse course, the briny Coastline Martini, oversized steak knives and portions sized for far more people. Several note it runs pricey, and one mentions bar tables require a reservation.

“I tried Adalina Prime for happy hour after a friend recommended it, and overall it was a great experience. We were seated quickly in the lounge area, which had such a beautiful atmosphere. If aesthetics are your thing, you’ll definitely love the interior, and they also have a really nice outdoor patio that would be perfect on a warmer day. The mocktails were honestly one of the highlights for me, I ordered the Purple Rain and the Almond Citrus Fizz, and both were so good (even though they weren’t part of the happy hour menu). From happy hour, we tried the truffle fries and steak sliders. I also wanted to try the wagyu grilled cheese, but unfortunately they were sold out. They do offer valet parking, otherwise parking is paid street parking nearby. We spent around $50 per person during happy hour, but I can definitely see the total going up quickly if you order from the regular dinner menu.”

“First time to Adelina prime was great! For starters we had. A beet salad with with peaches and goat cheese. My wife enjoys beets, she said was good. We had the avocado ceviche it was also good. We shared a 32oz tomahawk with our son. The steak was fabulous! For sides, we did the roasted mushrooms they were phenomenal! We also had the whipped potatoes, they were delicious as well. They offer a salt bar with your steak. That was a nice twist. Ambiance was chill , but yet still had a nice vibe. Overall I give Adalina prime a 4.7.”

“My fiancè & I went to Adalina Prime for the first time yesterday. Since the second we walked in, the atmosphere was absolutely amazing. Our server, Jimmy, gave us the best service we've honestly ever had. He went over the entire menu with us & gave us great recommendations. He was very personable & professional, but also gave us some amazing laughs. The food was SO good, everything we ordered had the best flavor. The steaks & the lobster cream corn were the stars of the show. The salt library they offer is such an amazing touch. I tried a handful of different ones, and each bite of steak tasted like a totally different amazing steak due to all the different salt flavors they offer. The sauce on the side add ons for the steaks were also very delicious. We finished the meal off with coconut strawberry swirl soft serve (we thought we were full already, but managed to finish the entire thing because it was so tasty lol). Overall, one of the best dining experiences in terms of food, service & atmosphere that we've ever had. Also amazingly priced for the quality of food & service that they offer (I've paid way more for way less at other places). I'd give 10 stars if I could. We will definitely be back soon!”

“I had a great experience at Adalina Prime! The ambiance is upscale and inviting, with a warm, moody atmosphere that makes it perfect for a nice night out. The steak was cooked to perfection.. tender, flavorful, and clearly high quality. Everything we ordered felt well thought out and beautifully presented. The service was also attentive without being overbearing, which really elevated the overall experience. It’s definitely on the pricier side, but worth it for a special occasion or if you’re looking for a refined steakhouse experience. I would absolutely come back!!!”

“This was our first time at Adelina Prime we came to celebrate our wedding anniversary and this place was definitely a hit! The ambiance, the food and service were top notch. Our waiter Jim was great, very helpful and friendly. Definitely recommend for a date night.”
