The Alston
The Alston—from Michelin-starred Chef Jenner Tomaska —is a steakhouse in Chicago’s Gold Coast. The menu features a blend of the comforting flavors of a traditional Midwestern steakhouse with the refined elegance of 1920s French Nouvelle cuisine. Chef Tomaska elevates the traditional steakhouse by utilizing open-fire cooking and the highest-quality ingredients from the Midwest. Guests can also enjoy tableside service, including bread and cheese carts and an innovative take on a Duck a la Presse carved at the table. The wine program exudes the same level of excellence as the dinner menu, featuring a wine cellar housing an array of vintages, from the classics to avant-garde boutique wines. More is more at The Alston. The luxurious space boasts 350 seats across its expansive dining room, Champagne bar, year-round terrace and private dining spaces. The Alston also houses Chicago's most upscale and unique private member's club. Jean Banchet Awards 2026: Best Design
