River Roast

Leah Kania

When thinking through where we would have our wedding reception, we ultimately decided on having a city wedding. We knew we wanted there to be great food and views for our guests. River Roast fit these requirements for our special day! We worked with Jenn as our wedding coordinator. We had several in-person meetings with her over the months leading up to our wedding. She was incredibly patient, kind, and responsive. She made sure we were happy with our wedding day plan every step of the way and always went above and beyond. Jenn supported us through all of it: our planning, allowing us to mock set up our centerpieces with the sample linen at more than one meeting, and even making sure we had plates of food put together for us on the wedding day. She also made sure that all of the leftover food from our event was packaged up for us and our guests to take with us. The staff at River Roast, from planning, setting up the day of, and cleaning up, were all very professional and helpful. Our guests loved the brunch food! We had many people tell us it was the best wedding food they ever had, and we agree! Thank you, Jenn & River Roast for helping make our wedding day perfect! - Leah & Matt Photo credit: Sarah Nader Photography

Victor was our server, he was amazing! Explained menu and recommended he’s favorites, everything was excellent from the beginning to the end. The hot drinks hit the spot, full of aromas and flavors, food was to die for, 2nd time here and will continue coming. I do recommend the carrot 🥕 cake. Can’t leave behind the GM Ernesto very attentive making sure everything was done to perfection.

Love this place! Our waiter was super attentive without being bothersome. He was super friendly and provided fantastic service! Everything we had was delicious from our drinks, to our appetizer to our main courses. And of course the patio experience right on the River was perfect! Only con is how hard it was to find the entrance. It was an odd warm day in Chicago in October, so I think they had closed the patio down for the season and opened just for the day. Made it hard to navigate to but it was worth the extra bit of a hunt!!
