- VValerieChicago / Illinois •2 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoI went with a group of friends for my birthday, and it was the best decision I could’ve made! Although we were all late due to downtown traffic, the restaurant was willing to wait for my entire party to arrive while we waited at the bar. The food portions were outstanding! Everyone said that their food was delicious! The restaurant is beautiful, and it was an energetic vibe, but not too noisy. Our waiter was excellent. He went above and beyond even taking a picture of us outside. Although it is pricey, I would definitely go again. More infoSTK – ChicagoPrice: Expensive• Steakhouse• River North (Chicago)•4.1
- MMarcChicago / Illinois •16 reviews4.0Dined 1 day agoThe bass was excellent, and the Kofta was tasty. However, the humus was a disappointment—not better than what one can buy in a grocery store. The cauliflower/broccoli dish was a good surprise. Overall, the food was good, but not surprising. The place was full (on a Friday night) -- crowded and noisy. Service was slow.More infoEma - River NorthPrice: Expensive• Mediterranean• River North (Chicago)•4.7
- NNereidaChicago / Illinois •6 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoWonderful food (short rib bologhnese, salmon, rib eye, spaghetti and meatball and Caesar) were all very good. The atmosphere peaceful and elegant. Huge selection of wines and specialty spirits which we did not partake in. Great service (Mattie). Great, great for very special occasions only because if the price point, but you will NOT be disappointed. Must try at least once.More infoRPM Italian - ChicagoPrice: Expensive• Italian• River North (Chicago)•4.7

- LLisavipSouth Carolina •5 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoHosted a small business dinner here and while the final bill was a bit higher than I anticipated I will say that the food was excellent and everyone enjoyed their meal, so mission accomplished. The whole place was decked out for Christmas and so festive. It was packed on a Wednesday evening so while the vibe was very energetic it was not overwhelming at all. And the staff was great. I would go back with my husband next time we’re in Chicago.More infoChicago Cut SteakhousePrice: Very Expensive• Steakhouse• River North (Chicago)•4.8
