"Pete Miller's is a favorite for all special occasions for us. It has always met high expectations. This visit was a little different in that, strangely, on Mother's Day, they were not set up prior to opening and were moving chairs and tables around at a frantic pace for 20 minutes while guests were waiting to be seated."

"Pete Miller's was good. Our server was quick and responsive, and my steak was well prepared. My lady's sauteed spinach didn't have any flavor to it, but other than that, a good place to try if you are in the area."

"I sure wasn't too fond of the manager who didn't really seem to be so helpful!! Our waitress was nice, but she was a bit slow as they got busy. I sure wouldn't come back if i had to deal with the manager on a daily basis! I would think he should do what makes the customer happy, NOT make things harder!! Really left unhappy!!:("

"I am a bit of a snob when it comes to filets. If you're getting a porter house go to Capital Grill, if you want it mega-aged, go to Primehouse but if you want an amazing filet, Pete Miller's is your place. I don't know how they manage to make such a perfect filet every time but they have it down pat. I've been eating there for over 10 years and they rarely let me down in any area but NEVER on the meat. I was concerned when the new mgnt took over last year but they have exceeded expectations with new specials, and more side items to choose from on the every day menu.
The restaurant is on the more expensive side, but it's not pompous. (my favorite, the filet, 10oz is $38. With bone-in 14oz its $44. But that includes a decent side item)"

"We started off with the Spinach & Artichoke Fondue, which was rich, but bursting with flavor and texture w/ the crostini. A rich appetizer for two people, but probably great for 3 or more to share. There was a great selection of wine, beer and spirits, as I had a nice Belgian beer while the wife had a crisp Californian Chardonnay.
The 10 oz filet we ordered was mediocre at best, but the Shrimp De Jonghe was amazing. I know it's a Chicago classic, but this dish accompanied with the Mac & Cheese is just perfect. If only the steaks had a bit more seasoning and a demi-glace or reduction of some sort to enhance the flavor, especially with the leaner cuts of meat like the filet. I'll go back and try a ribeye next time and will hope for the best."

"Despite other reviews, I was not impressed. Service was good, but not stellar. The food was average at best. My father and spouse liked their fish dishes. I had a burger that I did not feel was cooked to my satisfaction. There was more red than I prefer and so I did not eat the entire burger. They even charged me for a small drink he didn't even have. I found the prices a bit high but expected. All in all it was just okay for me. The live jazz was okay but we were seated in a booth where we couldn't see the musicians perform. This would not be my choice for a second visit. I was disappointed."

"It is great to see that service remains top-notch and the live jazz makes dining even more delightful. The food, however, has not remained as stellar. Side dishes were heavy with salt. Fish dishes that were overcooked made it to our table. While many folks may not even notice it, the grand flourishes of the steakhouse are no longer part of the fun of dining at PM. The steak tray is no longer brought out except on request. Fire has also left the building- Bananas Foster are no longer flambeed table side, and other bits of dinner theater that were so much fun are gone. The style and theater that made PM so remarkable seems to have been lost to today's express diners."

"Good restaurant with good food and even with entertainment at 5 PM on Sunday. We would have highly recommended the restaurant if the manager did not give the 2 couples behind us such a hard time about using 2 Groupons, especially with only 2 tables in the entire restaurant having people (I guess 3 since the manager made the couples separate their tables so they could each use 1 Groupon). I know there are certain rules, but it is unfortunate when a manager cannot exercise his own intelligence to handle something and insists on being difficult and making the situation unpleasant for everyone."

"This place has some great sea food. Form the sounds of it, they have some great steaks too. They have a large wine list as well as some cocktail. They have a nice large bar that was packed when we were there and they usually have live music in the main room. We went there for king crab legs and forgot that they offer a accompaniment with any meal for an additional $15, which is awesome. So we each ordered a different fish dish and each of us had a accompaniment of King crab. Perfect! This place is kid friendly which is cool, but not cool at the same time."

"Our waiter was knowledgeable regarding his menu, wines & liquor - ready & willing to offer his recommendations when asked. The steaks were out of this world! Filet mignon done to perfection - whatever their seasoning is - fabulous! I was told the Lobster Salad was to die for. The sides - all delicious. Lighting just enough & not too much. My only regret - dessert menu is limited; I would personally have preferred more offerings.Can have a date or bring the kids. Great bar."

"We arrived on time for reservation
I was given a small table in the far back crowded room
I passed many nice booths in the front of house and asked for one of those tables,a bit of mumbling was exchange between server and host something about them being reserved(all of them I wondered?)we were shortly given a nice table
We ordered prime rib and I ordered fried calamari and Caesar salad.
The calamari was barely warm,so server took it back
When it arrived second time it looked as if chef had just dumped it back into fryer(my order was full of bits of extra crispy breading)and overcooked
No happy about that
Salad was ordinary
My friend enjoyed his prime rib
The other nice tables remained empty

"Went to Pete's for the first time with my elderly Mother and two sisters for my 52nd birthday and we are a tough crowd to please. The wine by the glass list is the largest I've ever seen and a really great option. I ordered the blue cheese wedge, which is one of my favorites. Pete's was the perfect wedge salad, just the right amount of everything. I had the 7 ounce fillet and it was cooked perfectly and very flavorful. Mom and sister's had sea bass, grouper, and shrimp, and they were all extremely happy. This says a lot for our family.....we are foodies. My Mother (87) ordered a Cosmo, and I swear it was the best one that I've ever had, and I've had many. Can't wait to go back!"

"Since our reservation was at 2:30 and the brunch ended at 3:00 the restaurant did not replenish any items that were gone. There was also a shortage of plates so when you went to get what food was left you had to wait for a plate. In addition, the drinks were very expensive and were served in plastic glasses which seemed tacky considering how much they cost. They had a make your own Bloody Mary. When the waitress brought my glass it appeared to be full of vodka but instead turned out to be primarily melted ice. This for a cost of $10.50."

"Everything was really good, but particularly, we enjoyed the performer, Linda Solotaire, and her band. She is beautiful, she draws the audience in with warmth, has a beautiful voice, and selects a really interesting repertoire, even for someone who didn't come to this particularly interested in that type of music."

"We had a wonderful experience at Pete Millers. We were greeted warmly, and were anticipated for our reservation. We were served in a timely and courteous fashion. Excellent service actually, and enjoyed a wonderful vocalist in Abigail. Thoroughly enjoyed our meal, and will come again for ambience and everything else. One suggestion would be to beef up the crab cakes as they were puny compared to the other things we were serves. We ordered soup salad appetizer and the wonderful ribs and lobster Mac. Took my Dad there for his 83rd b-day and we had a great time even though our reservation was quite early, 5pm, due to a 7:30pm show. Everything was anticpated perfectly and served timely with all side requests received with accommodation."

"I really enjoyed the appetizers which was the french onion soup, oh my!, the main dish: the tasty brick chicken OMG! The Service was the friendliest ever. The sultry music was the perfect evening to spend our 20th anniversary together.....does it get any better then that?"

"Perfect special dinner for Easter. The jazz vocalist and pianist were engaging and added to our experience. Food was very good. Menu options would be more enticing with special dishes added daily from the chef. Choices for children and vegetarians are extensive and appreciated. We will definitely return."

"What I love about Evanston Pete Miller's is that it is an unpretentious restaurant with friendly, genuine service and top quality steaks. The Wedge salad is a solid salad with rich blue cheese chunks and crisp bacon. The 7 oz filet is always tender and just the right portion. Whether it is an evening out with parents or in laws or just a quick bite, you can't go wrong with Pete Millers. It's our north shore go to place when my 70 year old parents visit. The steaks are delicious and the bartender knows how to make a good Rob Roy."

"The seafood choices were very good. On Wednesday, the service was incredible, our server (a young woman who served us in the bar/music stage area) was professional and impressive -- she was very knowledgeable regarding the food and preparations, and made excellent suggestions for our dinner choices.
...Of course the music is always top-notch."

"Usually have good things to say about Pete Miller's, but this visit was sub-par. Seated right next to band and couldn't hear ourselves speak. Our server was very nice, but it appeared she was handling an entire section of 12+ tables and thus, the wait time from seating to ordering drinks, to ordering food and then serving was very, very long and we didn't get any attention to check on things. Food tasted good, but plating was messy and rushed, which didn't inspire the sense that care was being taken... Another small item, but our requests for the bread basket were not answered until dinner was nearly over. Maybe Sunday night is a bad time to visit."
