    I have been going to RL since they first opened. Always lovely, comfortable, clubby, excellent. It is a joy to be there. It is hard not to have the Dover sole. My favorite. And tonight. Joseph was our waiter. He was superb. Attentive but not too much. Classy. Friendly. But not too much. Works on the west side of the restaurant. I would ask for him. Can’t wait to go back.

    Amazing food and service. However, they weren’t sensitive and didn’t ask about food allergies. I am gluten free and was surprised that the Tofu on the stir-fry was fried. The waiter didn’t know what the tofu was coated/battered in. I definitely felt sick afterwards but thankfully it is not a serious allergy.

    For a jam packed Friday lunch during Holiday break, I was beyond impressed with the speed of service at Luxbar. Everything was great from the food to the service. They had a manager floating filling water and delivering drinks. Really great experience.

    First, kudos to our wait staff, who were pleasant, energetic, and efficient, on a major holiday when the restaurant was extremely busy. Food was excellent. Burrata & prosciutto is delish, and there was plenty for a table of four to share while enjoying cocktails. Pork shank is tender & tasty. Dover Sole was excellent, and deboned at table, as is proper. Pappardelle Bolognese is terrific, and a huge portion. Apple crostata & gelato wrapped up an excellent Christmas meal. We'll be back!

    Gibson's is one of my favorite restaurants of all times. We live in San Antonio but make it a point to make reservations when in Chicago, Because of the holidays, I scheduled reservations 3 months in advance. Service was superb, as always. I ordered the W.R.'s Chicago Cut and was very disappointed. The steak was cold and did not appear anywhere close to 22 oz. My son ordered a 7 oz Filet Mignon, and he was disappointed as it was very dry and overcooked. I know I could have said something at the table, but I didn't want to ruin the moment as we were having such a great time being together. The service was outstanding, and hope that next time it will be the same Gibson's experience.
