Top notch service and atmosphere, if you are okay with a packed, nostalgic styled establishment. Food is good but expensive, which is relative to your budget. $200+ for two at dinner. I’ve always enjoyed the sides and the desserts but not wowed by the main courses. It’s a must when in Chicago, despite some of the issues which are subjective.
What a beautiful atmosphere at the RL Restaurant. I had a light lunch at the bar and had a wonderful experience even though this place was jam-packed during my time there. The service at the bar was amazing, and the food was solid even though the menu is somewhat limited. I couldn't recommend the Polo Bar highly enough. This establishment is extremely classy!
Classy restaurant setting. Excellent food and service. We had the calamari and crab cake for the starters. The RL burger and the corned beef sandwich for the main meal. All fantastic.
Absolutely one of our most favorites in Chicago. Ricardo was a fantastic server. Atmosphere is classic and warm feeling. Food is spectacular!
One of the best dinning experiences I’ve ever had. Great food, very attentive service and a wonderful atmosphere to celebrate a birthday. I couldn’t have been happier with my experience here!
Treated myself after the Chicago Marathon. I tried their dinner lobster rolls, followed by delicious lamb chops, and a couple glasses of Pinot Noir. Was thinking of cake but seen the table next to me and their slice was HUGE so I passed only because I would not be able to stop myself. Staff was polite and helpful, my water glass was always full and they frequently checked if I needed anything but no too much to be annoying. Pricey but the food was good and the environment and staff are top notch.
Had a brunch on my birthday here.
Such an exceptional restaurant. Very classy interior. I would suggest dressing smart business. The service right from check-in to paying the cheque was on point. Our server was very friendly. We enjoyed the Bellini’s. Lobster roll was amazing. The crab cake was out of the world. They also served a complementary brownie as it was my birthday which was very thoughtful and delicious.
Places like these are definitely worth visiting when you are celebrating something.
We will definitely be back but for dinner this time around.

Salmon with lemon butter was absolutely delicious! The RL burger was filling and quite good. My daughter enjoyed a Virgin Singapore Sling and I loved the English Garden cocktail.

LOVE RL restaurant! I live in River North and every time I go there for special occasions the food is great, the service is great and the ambiance is great! Tonight our server, Peter Axelsen, was fantastic! All of our dishes were delicious- calamari, chopped salad, perch, side of asparagus, side of green beans. There was some guest drama and misunderstandings with my friends. Regardless , the entire night Peter Axelsen, our server, was accommodating and his service was extra extra!! My friends abruptly left and Peter even came out of the restaurant to see if everything was alright. Peter went above and beyond with his service! And also wrapped up the uneaten complimentary coconut cake desert! Which btw is delicious! Sorry, Peter, for the drama. I told the lady manager that night that you and the team were great! One thing I’d say is having the time slots be 2.0 hours instead of 1.5 hours. At a fine dining restaurant celebrating a birthday, catching up, eating, drinking, and as super busy and fast as they were, it’s still a bit difficult to be all done in 1.5 hours. Even though, I always look forward to eating at RL! Super restaurant! Thank you!
