- DDDennisDChicago / Illinois •1 review5.0Dined 5 days agoI made this reservation for my son, daughter & son-in-law who were home at Thanksgiving. One was having a birthday on 11/26 & my two was on 12/6. Since they were all turning 40, I thought it’d be a nice treat. When I made the reservation, I included that 3 of the 4 were celebrating a 40th birthday. When they got home, I was very disappointed to find out nothing was done for them. Why ask if you are celebrating anything when you make the reservation if you don’t follow through on it.More info20'S HIDEOUT STEAKHOUSE & BARPrice: Expensive• Steak• Marion•4.5
