The cesar salad, rigatoni, and chicken parmesan was so delicious and perfect to share between two. The drinks were good. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The ambiance and music selection made the experience so much more enjoyable. I definitely recommend this restaurant!

**⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ | RPM Seafood - A Feast for the Senses** My recent visit to RPM Seafood was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance set the tone for an elegant and memorable dining experience. The waterfront view and sleek decor create the perfect blend of sophistication and warmth. We started with the **Seafood Tower**, which was a showstopper. Impeccably fresh oysters, jumbo shrimp, king crab, and lobster were artfully arranged and bursting with flavor. Each bite was a testament to the restaurant’s dedication to quality and freshness. The **Lobster Fried Rice** was an unexpected highlight. The balance of tender lobster, perfectly cooked rice, and subtle seasoning made it both comforting and luxurious. A must-try side dish that could easily steal the spotlight! For the main course, the **Charcoal-Grilled Black Bass** was simply divine. Cooked to perfection with a subtle smoky char, the bass was tender, flaky, and beautifully complemented by its accompanying flavors. The service was exceptional throughout the evening, with our server offering excellent recommendations and ensuring we felt cared for at every moment. RPM Seafood delivers on every level—impeccable food, stunning presentation, and flawless service. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply indulging in the finer things, this restaurant is worth every penny. I can’t wait to return and explore more of their menu.

Pizza Portofino went above and beyond for our family visiting Chicago from Ohio. We mistakenly did not consider the time change booking the reservation at home for 4:00pm arriving to Chicago looking for my reservation and it said 5:00pm. They did not even hesitate to help our party get seated within 10 minutes service amazing food with excellent service and we were out of there to get to our show in time. I can’t thank them enough for saving our amazing dinner at a restaurant. We visited several times now while we’re in Chicago. Will tell others about this amazing restaurant and be back when we visit again.

There is nothing like Christmas at the Walnut Room. The tree, the wonderful people sprinkling fairy dust, the themed desserts, the decorations, the nostalgia..... EVERYTHING. I went as a little girl and bring back generations as an adult. It makes me teary being there. Our waitress was great. Reservations right on time. The food..ehh..it is not why you go. Burger was nothing special and the fries were literally cold,cold not even just cold. Most people get the pot pie and salad. I should have tried something a little daring but was in the mood for a burger. It was a smashburger. Next year I will go with the chicken dish! I love it here at Christmas, it is Chicago. So glad they brought back the collector mugs

My wife and I had a quick getaway to Chicago for her birthday. OpenTable booking made it simple to make reservations and any changes. Heads-up, parking will be a challenge so I recommend using valet! Make a reservation ahead of time to guarantee seating. The staff were very great at anticipating the wait time and so we did for 30 min since we arrived earlier. We were seated at the chef’s table which neither of us expected, and was a treat to experience. My wife enjoyed every bit of the good chaos in the kitchen and watching Ted & Kishaun (apologies for typo), prep the food with passion. Service was great all the way around and all the staff were attentive - kudos! The food, this is by far the highlight of the night and the trip! Flavor at its fullest and the portions are ample for two. We had the best empanadas to date, the skirt steak was a hit, and the pork belly was delish. Wrap dinner with apple pie is a a treat on its own. Thank you for making our trip and birthday celebration a memorable one.
