What's a good meat restaurant in Chicago?

So we've been seeing each other for about two weeks now. I really want to impress, because this is our Valentine's day celebration a week late (she has family stuff sunday and we're both busy mon-thurs). So! If you can recommend romantic (or even semi-romantic places work too) restaurants for meat lovers (she's a steak girl :) that would be amazing!



Guidelines for recommendations:



We're still in high school, and I am still looking for a job, so I need a place that won't break the bank.

In other words,



-No more than $100 for two people

-ROMANTIC / Will impress

-Steak place / offers steak / other meats

-Good service

-Reputable food











THANK YOU so much for your help and time in advance :] I really like her and don't want to let her get away (:What's a good meat restaurant in Chicago?
Wildfire.

You might also want to check out http://www.restaurant.com put in the area you want and pick the type of food you want. If you find on that looks interesting click on the menu and check out the menu options. Some indicate price some don't.

If you decide to get a certificate make sure it is valid for the day and time you want to use it. Some are not valid on weekends some are dinner only. If you have a Discover Card buy through the Discover site, they have restaurant.com in the "shop discover section" and you get a higher % cash back on your card.

By the way if you use the code"heart" when you check out you get 80% off the certificate. So a $25.00 certificate will cost you $2.00 the code is good through the 14th.

Fogo De Chao

...but go at lunch. (Mon - Sat) Fogo is one of those Brazilian-style restaurants (called churrascarias) where waiters cut you slices of about 15 different meats off of large skewers and you can eat all you want. The quality of the meats is very high and the food overall is excellent. There are probably half a dozen of these places in Chicago and Fogo is by far the best. The restaurant is very nicely appointed and draws a large business crowd at lunch but the atmosphere is still relaxed and informal. (No jeans or t-shirts but pretty much anything else goes.) Really the perfect place for the meat lover and between the decor and the variety of meats offered, a good "wow" factor.

You have to go at lunch because it's very expensive for dinner but at lunch it's almost half the price for the exact same menu. I think it's now about $35.00 per person for lunch. Well worth the price! One of my favorite restaurants in Chicago.

EDIT

While Tichur's list of steakhouses is excellent and comprehensive, I doubt you could walk out of most of those places for less than $50 per person. If you do choose from that list, Gibson's and Keefer's are my two favorites. I haven't tried Tramonto's Steaks and Seafood but I've eaten at Tru, which was fabulous. There's no way in Hell that a Tramonto restaurant is going to run you less than $100 a couple. Gibson's for $50.00 each is a pipe dream, too. For a straight-up steakhouse in your price range Wildfire is probably your best bet but while it's a nice place I don't think it's going to "wow" her. It's pretty basic. If you can somehow scrape together another $25 or 30 total, most of the places on Tichur's list become more comfortably doable.
