We recently celebrated my birthday at Niso’s Prime in Chicago with a group of friends, and it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. We began the evening with drinks downstairs, where the atmosphere was both elegant and inviting. The bar itself is stunning, with a gorgeous design at the back and soft, relaxing lighting that sets the perfect mood. Upstairs, the ambiance becomes even more intimate, making it an ideal setting for a special occasion. Every aspect of our meal was outstanding — the prosciutto, the seafood to the perfectly cooked steaks and well-crafted drinks. The food was exceptional, and the service was attentive and warm, adding to an already wonderful night. Highly recommend for any celebration or a memorable night out in the city!

Nisos prime bar is a great spot for happy hour. I love the vibe and great service. Their martini and dealer’s choice were absolutely divine. The crab beignets are must-gets and their gin and tonic cheese curds are perfect munchies. I’d highly recommend this spot!

Nisos Prime truly impressed us with one of the best steaks we had! The restaurant's stunning decor creates a beautiful and intimate atmosphere. The service was outstanding—attentive without being intrusive, making us feel well taken care. After dinner, we enjoyed their lounge, it's conveniently connected to the restaurant. Overall, our experience at Nisos Prime was wonderful, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a top-notch steakhouse. Definitely worth the visit!

Wow! Loved the ambiance & atmosphere here. We used to go here when it was Bad Hunter & they really transformed the space. The $1 happy hour oysters were excellent & not too small. Loved the arancini as well as the prosciutto crostini & potato croquettes. Service from Michelle was excellent - we felt right at home. Will definitely return for happy hour or dinner. They have their own pastry chef in house & the lemon tart was a work of art. Also, their dealers choice cocktail - the mango daiquiri was so smooth & tasty

We loved dining here!! The food was really delicious. For apps we got the zucchini chips with tzatziki sauce and octopus. Entrees we ordered the wagu smashburger and the lamb ragu. Dessert we got the lemon tart and skillet cookie. Everything was 10/10. I love good food but I love nothing more than good service and it was awesome!

I had been wanting to make it here all summer, and finally was able to get to the city for Christmas. It was well worth the wait! First off, we ran 20mins late to our reservation, and they gave our table away, not mad, totally my fault. I was grateful they opened the upstairs bar for Us to dine & honestly prefer to dine at the bar instead of tables, so it worked in our favor. The bartender was from Cali & has worked many bars across the country, his service & conversation was 5star, very attentive, and makes a great espresso martini :) We started w oysters & crab cakes, and worked our way to the steaks, which were cooked to perfection, finished off with the hot cookie & ice cream. All were delish! The vibe of Nisos is so sexy, dim, great sexy house music to set the vibe. Will be returning over and over!

What we ordered 🍽️ - Wagyu meatballs - Jumbo crab cake - 16 oz Double cut pork chop - 8 oz Steak Frites - Cafe Crema for dessert Drinks 🍸 - Smashberry - Lemon Drop Martini (We brought our own tea, which they accommodated for) What I would come back for 👀 - Truffle fries - Giant wagyu meatballs - and other items that I didn’t get to try ofc My thoughts 💭 : I would come back for the aesthetic. The food is a little debatable. Ordered a medium rare steak but it was so charred - I’m not sure if it was just us though? And well, their steak knives need to be upgraded. We asked for a second pair hoping it would be sharper but ultimately it didn’t do the job of cutting the meat - or maybe it couldn’t cut the meat bc of the way it was cooked? Who knows. FYI ⚠️ Once seated the hosts give a time frame of your visit. (For us it was relatively 90 minutes ? So if we would have passed that, would we have gotten kicked out????)

Came here for happy hour from 4-6 so I can't really speak for much. But while I was here, the staff was nice and we were bright to our tables right away, no reservations on a Friday afternoon. There was plenty of seating. Came here for the HR oysters but sadly they were not that great. We had 2 dozens and they were all very bland and tasteless. Also tried the fries which were average. Nothing special and exactly what you would except. The crab beingets were alright. Nice and sweet but a little small? I've never had it anywhere else and I don't know the standard pricing but would I buy it again? Probably not. Not to be confused with the restaurant rating and their steak (never tried). But for their happy hour, id have to give it 3*.
