My boss wants to go out tonight and put me in charge of finding somewhere. Only requirements are mid price range, good wine selection and decent portion sizes.

Wildfire (steak), Rosebud (Italian), Rockit (high end bar/comfort food). Mia Francesca is my favorite Italian, but you would have to cab it to Taylor Street.

Girl & the Goat is excellent, but may be very hard to get in to.
If he's dining alone, he may be able to snag a walk in (with potentially a long wait) near the kitchen, but otherwise, it usually takes a few months to get a reservation.

Did Mia Francesca move? It's always been on Clark.

There's multiple locations. I usually go to the one on Taylor.

If you are thinking Wildfire, then I would suggest Kinzie Chophouse instead. Wildfire is a local chain and it really surprised me how friendly family it was. We got a sitter but all the other tables didn't. Kinzie is across from merchandise mart and is definitely an after work like crowd. I know I have dropped into the bar not sure about getting a table easily but I think so. Great wine selection and a good Chicago type place.
If you can get a lunch out go to Hannah's Bretzels. I miss that place like mad!!
This is one of our favs. DH just made reservations for the night of his marathon there next month...getting excited!
I have been pleased with any of the Rosebud restaurants though. We've typically been able to get by with no reservations, reasonable prices, and very consistent food experiences.
