Best Seasonal Restaurants in River North (Chicago)

Such a fantastic experience like always at any of the RPM restaurants. This was our first time at RPM and it was outstanding! Our waitress, Anna, went above & beyond this evening. We were out celebrating my boyfriend’s promotion and she was very sweet is giving us complimentary champagne and cotton candy for dessert. She gave us great recommendations for our meals. The food was absolutely amazing and we will absolutely be back! I can’t recommend this place or any of the RPM restaurants enough.

Joe’s is the premium steak house in Chicago! Service is not matched anywhere! Wine list is excellent and food UNBELIEVABLE! A random observation- the light level is excellent, you can actually see the food and move around the restaurant without fear of breaking your leg! Many other steakhouses are so dark, it’s a drag to see and go to the bathroom! We were delayed a tiny bit by a previous couple, Joe’s gifted us an order of Stone crab, just so thoughtful! I have been a fan of Joe’s since it first open in Chicago. Still the Best Steak/Wine list/Dessert/SERVICE IN TOWN ! NOT SUPER LOUD.

The food here was fabulous. Chicken Vesuvio, Caesar salad, Apple Fennel Salad, and Pasta Carbonara. All gluten free! And delicious! You can’t go wrong here. Wine list is also spot on.

Had an amazing dining experience at Portofino today! The food was absolutely delicious, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. The service was attentive and friendly, making the experience even better. I highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely return!

The service was impeccable! Our server Eric G. was so attentive and assisted me greatly as someone who has celiac and cannot eat any gluten. He made sure any glutenous toppings were removed and on the side for the other guests and repeatedly came back to check and make sure I knew what was safe to eat. I cannot thank him enough. The food itself was delicious and the restaurant had a lovely ambience.
