Love Pizzeria Portofino's riverfront location & we were seated on the enclosed "patio" which was very nice but a little chilly. Also a bit loud. But the cocktails & food more than made up for that. I highly recommend the limoncello spritz - it's amazing! We had charred pepperoni pizza, vodka pasta pasta, octopus & arugula salad. All were good but the pizza was the star of our meal. Our server was excellent. We'll be back without a doubt.

Our Christmas Eve dinner was perfect. The food was A+, the ambiance was festive (great playlist!) and our service was impeccable. Anna our server was the perfect combination of engaging and giving us our privacy. She very much made our night more memorable with her kindness, humor and relatability. The steaks were fabulous! We have been to Joe’s, Fioretta, and Bavette’s recently. This was our first time at RPM Streak and I would say that they are the superior choice.

Food was impeccable and creatively flavored. Service was outstanding by our server Gary who was very attentive and expeditious as we had other plans to attend. Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience that we hopefully will enjoy again on our next visit to Chicago. Good job!!

Favorite restaurant among the thousands in Chicago - outstanding food, ambience, beautiful view of the river running through the downtown, and superb waitstaff with an especially big shoutout to the very attentive Yasori(?).

Great family dinner last night at RPM Seafood… celebrated my wife and daughter’s birthdays with an outstanding evening. Loved the salmon and tuna apps; clam chowder, and Caesar salad. Entrees were excellent: halibut, miso cod, tuna all expertly prepared and seasoned. Whipped potatoes and mushroom sides were very good Loved our server and they comped us for a great chocolate gelato and mousse desserts. We will be back in the future for celebration events!
