Streeterville Restaurants

Overall a great experience. The restaurant is setup for high volume as the tables are small and very tight together. I understand packing the tables together to maximize the space helps earn money - it was a bit too tight for my personal liking- although I would return.

This is our favorite place in the city for many reasons. The drinks, the food, the look and feel of it, but the number one reason we keep coming back is the people who work at RL. It was a wildly busy evening this last time we came in and while many would have folded, the team went out of their way to take care of us. And that’s what sets this place apart. You’re cared for here. We were listened to and made comfortable. It ended up being a wonderful evening all thanks to obviously the food and drink, but mainly each employee we came in contact with. Come for the lush martinis, the perfect dover sole, the rich wood and dim lights but keep coming back for the people.

We had such a wonderful, romantic, and classy dining experience. The filet mignons were lovely, the sweet potatoes as well, and that Corn Creme Brûlée was the greatest invention on earth. The ambience was lively and inviting

Our experience at Joe's was excellent from beginning to end. We were greeted by the maitre'd as if we were one of their best customers and were seated at a booth that we sat in the last time we were there even though we did not request it. The service was impeccable as we were not rushed even though the restaurant was very busy. The timing of the food from beginning to end was at comfortable pace and the food, including salad, grilled seafood and a steak, was perfectly prepared. The general manager of the restaurant even came to our table to welcome us. All in all, it was one of the best dining experiences of the year, and we visit many restaurants throughout the year.

Excellent food and service! The best entree of the table was the chili honey salmon. Even the sides were good (smoked carrots, broccolini, mashed potatoes). Bread appetizer was so good we ordered a second one. A lot of dishes had spicy flavors or a spicy kick to it. I was a little underwhelmed with the prime rib sandwich. For dessert we tried the wild berry sorbet and tres leches cake. The cake was tasty but not quite dense enough for all the liquid and the sorbet was delicious and refreshing, generously garnished. All in all we had an excellent experience.
