  23. Rank 171. Maie Day

    Steakhouse

    Inside the South Congress Hotel, Maie Day is a steakhouse in the way a band covers a song, recognizable but slightly, pleasingly off. The chef behind Olamaie runs this one, and the menu leans on shareable plates, seafood-forward starters, and cuts that stray from the usual canon, a whiskey-brined pork chop, a chicken fried steak with peppery white gravy. The room is festive in the non-embarrassing sense, and the blooming onion is back, earnestly.
