Best Restaurants for People Watching in River North (Chicago)

Everything was EXCELLENT, but our service was TOP NOTCH! I’m hoping I remember her name correctly, but Carley (& hope I’m spelling it write) was ahhhh-mazing!!! She was so attentive, yet she let us enjoy ourselves. Absolutely phenomenal!! Side Note: I think we were the noise level from laughing so much 🤦🏾‍♀️😂 Sorry!!

It was our first time dining at RPM Italian and it did not disappoint! From the moment we walked in to the moment we left was top notch. All the staff were friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable. The drinks and food were outstanding. Make sure to get the meatballs as an appetizer and the carrot cake for dessert!! The meals are perfect portions for sharing with everyone at the table.

We were there for a late lunch and was seated with a great river view. Service was quick and friendly. The food was outstanding. Will return for a dinner time experience the next in Chicago.

Excellent food! Excellent service. Nice ambiance. Recommended!

Our waitress wasn’t the most helpful. She had a tone and vibe that felt unpleasant. For instance, when I asked what salad dressings were available it was like pulling teeth to get her to tell me simple information like that. And in the end she still couldn’t tell me the options. It also felt like we were in her way and an inconvenience to her. She wasn’t warm or welcoming at all. We were the large table of 10, maybe that stressed her out- but I expected better service for this type of ‘higher end’ restaurant. Everything else was outstanding the food, atmosphere etc. We will still visit again- Just hope we have a friendlier more helpful server next time.
