At Sophia Steak, we believe great dining goes beyond just incredible food; it’s about creating memorable experiences. As the premier steakhouse in Chicago and the North Shore, we serve expertly prepared steaks, fresh seafood, daily specials, and indulgent desserts in a stylish yet comfortable setting.
Founded by lifelong friends and hospitality veterans Ryan O’Donnell and Jon Farrer of Ballyhoo Hospitality, along with Glenn Keefer, Sophia Steak first opened its doors in Wilmette in 2020. After quickly becoming the neighborhood’s go-to steakhouse, we expanded to Lake Forest in 2022 and Chicago in 2025. Regardless of which location you visit, you’ll experience the same warm hospitality, exceptional cuisine, and inviting atmosphere that make Sophia Steak a destination you’ll want to return to time and again.
