Lawry's The Prime Rib, a long-term staple of the Magnificent Mile, will close its Chicago location on Dec. 31, 2020, the restaurant announced Monday, Sept. 21, in a news release.
Located at 100 E. Ontario St., the steakhoue's Chicago location has been based out of the McCormick Mansion since 1974. The restaurant, which launched in Beverly Hills in 1938, is known for its steaks and dishes such as Spinning Bowl Salad and Yorkshire pudding.
In the news release, Ryan Wilson, CEO of Lawry's, said the decision to close the Chicago location was "extremely difficult."
“It will always hold a special place in our hearts and we will never forget the memories made in the McCormick Mansion," Wilson said in the release."We welcome our beloved Chicago community to the restaurant throughout the next few months to celebrate the last 46 years and enjoy the best prime rib in the city before we close and reassess what our presence looks like in the ever-evolving Chicago food scene.”
Despite the upcoming closure, the restaurant still plans to host private tours of McCormick Mansion and other events and celebrations leading up to the final day of service.
