I loved the combination of a great river view and chicken sandwich.
Just a heads up, there were small mosquitoes everywhere in my drink and the food. I guess that's normal price to pay for the view on a summer day. The restaurant can improve by adding an AC for the terrace. It was too warm if ypu were not under the shade.

We had an excellent experience at this place. Staff is super nice and service is great. The menu is very creative with a nice mix of vegan, vegetarian and meat based options. The interior is pretty. We were hoping to get a spot on the patio but couldn't because of rain. Our food was delicious and the cocktails were on point. Looking forward to trying other items on the menu.

Food is amazing and the staff is so nice!! Definitely get a fun cocktail they are delicious! The lobster roll and the carrots are both incredible and my personal favorites but you really can’t go wrong with anything on the menu.

Highly recommended!!! Just stopped by for dinner and got a friendly greeting - restaurant had a cheerful and chill vibe. Great city lights views. Excellent food. The manager or chef stopped by my table to ask how everything was. Told me to save room for dessert. Chèvre cheesecake is great. Standard tables or high tops available. I even liked the background music. Well done!

This was a great place that our team went to. We were able to have a great meal and build together because the staff took care of every detail. From the pre meal planning, to the day of service, you could see that they pride themselves in excellent service and fabulous food options that everyone could enjoy. I would go back here in the future for sure.

Delicious Fried Chicken Sandwich and wonderful fries. Perfect shared light lunch. Expansive and creative menu- though our choice was quite pedestrian…The food is high quality, perfectly prepared and nicely served. Pleasant atmosphere, great river views.

We went here for dinner on a beautiful summer evening and the location is perfect right on the river.
We ordered the fries to start and the aioli was a delicious pairing with the thick cut fries.
For the main course we had the carrots, cauliflower and roasted chicken. All 3 items were thoughtfully crafted and presented by a staff that provided exemplary service. We thank Kayla for serving us with grace and delight.

Two words: Mousse Dome. Hands down the best dessert I’ve ever had in my life. This place has the most beautiful interior and the vibe was perfect. My boyfriend and I had a quiet table by the windows overlooking the river. Staff was wonderful. For dinner we split the chicken. A piece or two was a bit dry but still tasty. But oh my gosh the mousse dome. Wow.

This location has an incredible vibe. I loved all of the little details in the furniture and decor. The service was okay, but the food makes up for it. We enjoyed our dishes very much! I recommend this location for sure!

Made a visit to The Kitchen today and were fortunate enough to get to sit on their riverside patio for it's first day of the season.
The southern fried chicken sandwich is very good, though a bit heavy on mustard. The Cubano is good as well, very traditional.
The atmosphere is fantastic inside and out.

Having lunch at The Kitchen was such a pleasant experience. The view of the Chicago River was incredible. We enjoyed watching all the boats go by and seeing all the people sharing the day with friends and loved ones.

Get ready to embark on an extraordinary culinary journey at The Kitchen American Bistro in the heart of Chicago's River North! 🥂🍽️
Our experience was nothing short of remarkable. We began with a glass of bubbly, a foreshadowing of the indulgence that awaited. The mussels, an irresistible delight, were merely the prelude to the exquisite symphony of flavors that followed. The steak tartare, a masterpiece of balance, redefined culinary perfection. The picanha and strip steaks, each a revelation in its own right, left us in reverential awe. And the desserts? A divine conclusion to an epicurean adventure. 🥩🍰
The riverfront ambiance elevated the entire evening to a magical level. A special commendation to Kai, our server, whose impeccable service was a true highlight of the night. 👏💫

The staff at this establishment was amazing and the food was incredible. Plus there is always something about tall ceilings and natural light in an industrial but chic space that says “Chicago” to me. Loved it.

My firm had an amazing client dinner at the Kitchen last night in their Root Room. Everything was awesome from the service to the food to the wonderful young lady who helped to set up our swag bags for us for our clients and guests to leave with.
Sammy, our event coordinator made the entire process seamless and kept us informed every step of the way with menu and guest count deadlines to menu options and even a last minute change to one of the items for one of our guests.
They all had a wonderful time at the Kitchen and they will absolutely be our first call for any of our future events in Chicago!

Running review:
Back for the Cauliflower dish and was able to dine on the River ‘patio’ narrow space, high top bar like seating over looking the River.
Just noticed the patio open on the River! Enjoyed the flavorful Cauliflower dish and glasses of wine, friend had the “a bit” spicy black linguine.
Chicago Comes Back: one of my favorite restos on the River, glad they have reopened. Attentive staff, sat at the bar, great roast chicken, wine and found electric socket for phone charging. Safety protocols in place and accessible restrooms.

Small portions but we knew that going in and they were amazing. Cocktails were unmatched and amazing views on the river. A must go!

Chicago is absolutely a Beer town. These plates though! A magnificent collection of flavors. Order at will!
