    We had a memorable evening on a cold night in a cozy environment overlooking the Chicago River. We had great food and impeccable service. The wine list is virtually incomparable. I was amazed by our server's knowledge about both the food and the wines. We will not soon forget this dining experience and we will be back in other seasons.

    I do not like that you guys charge a 3.5% service charge. We go to Chicago Cut all the time and they do not charge this. I understood why you added it for Covid, it now seems to be just a fee to increase your profits, and most people don’t say anything, because they don’t notice it
    RPM SeafoodResponded today

We're committed to ensuring the best possible experience for our guests, and your feedback helps us do that. We are always happy to remove the service charge if you ask. We hope to welcome you again soon. Cheers!

    I recommend the RPM chopped salad, the oysters, the grilled octopus, the clam chowder soup and the filet. It was AMAZING! I apologize in advance I forgot our servers name, she remembered all my notes I put and explained the menu with details. She made it very special! Exactly what I wanted for my boyfriend’s birthday dinner! She was a pretty blonde girl, she’s wonderful! If anyone can give me her name I would love to recommend her to my friends if they want to dine here!

    We ended up sitting up the whole night as there weren’t enough tables for everyone, at some point we managed to get a table that we had to sare with 4 others strangers. Limited food options, the food was tasty overall but cold and just not enough for the whole party. The “open bar” would take over 15 min wait in order to get yourself a drink , just not enough staff to serve everybody. We didn’t had dessert, as there wasn’t an option for it, there were some servers saving “mini cakes’ but by the time he got to us there weren’t anymore cakes. The fireworks were probably the only good part about the whole night as the view was amazing from the location that they had but surely we wouldn’t book again, neither recommend, 630$ was totally overpriced for this experience .
