Beef Wellington Photos: Jason Little and Nick Murway

It’s not a stretch to call this gleaming, neo-retro West Loop steakhouse from Boka Restaurant Group magical. As in: There’s an actual magician who can be summoned to your table and reel off mind-blowing card tricks after you and your date have polished off a golden-crusted beef Wellington for two. Anything you want, Swift & Sons can make it happen, from a gently charred strip steak to a roving dessert cart to, say, theater tickets (with help from the in-restaurant concierge). Your server, wearing a smart suit jacket and an easy smile, ever ready with the well-timed quip or thoughtful drink suggestion, accompanies you on your journey like the world’s most charming cruise director. It’s like steak Disneyland. You may never want to leave.
