We had a pleasant experience at Roanoke. We had a really long layover in Chicago so came into the city for lunch. We showed up right at opening and were sent upstairs to the hotel area to eat. The waitress was very friendly and nice. All of the food was good but nothing stood out as spectacular. When we left we understood why we were not allowed in the main dining room as it was full with reservations. My wife and I just didn’t get why it was so busy nothing wild about the place just solid food at a little inflated prices. I would go back if asked by someone but wouldn’t go out of my way for it.
Went here for the first time with my husband for a date night before seeing the nutcracker. Great experience all around! We shared the Roanoke salad to start which was delicious, not overdressed, very hearty. Then I got the rotisserie chicken which was moist and flavorful, and my husband had the steam frites, cooked to the perfect temperature (maybe could’ve been a little more flavorful), but the fries were great! I’m gluten free and this was no problem for them to accommodate, a lot of the menu items are already GF. Good service, great ambience. I would definitely go back and recommend!

If you’re looking for an upscale restaurant to come with coworkers after work, celebrating a big occasion, hosting an event, or simply catching up with friends, I believe Roanoke is the spot for you!
The list of food we ordered include: French Alexander, Boss Lady, Buffalo Cauliflower, Roasted Salmon, 14oz NY Strip Steak and ended with Chocolate Lava Cake! I can say everything was absolutely wonderful but the Buffalo Cauliflower was the best part of the dinner for us. I’ve tried this dish in other restaurants and it never tasted exactly like chicken wings, but this did! I was amazed!
The service was terrific! We had Leo as our server and he did a fantastic job helping us decide, giving us suggestions, making great pairing choices. I highly recommend asking for him if you could!
The ambiance and atmosphere gives you upscale and bougie. You could pass wearing something casual but you’ll fit right in wearing formal wear. There were people of all ages and occupations, and the dark vibes, and fireplace interior made everything perfection.
10/10 I’d come back again!

Pretty good food in a moderately upscale looking restaurant in the downtown of Chicago. There are tables and booths but might be good for smaller groups (8 or less). There’s some steaks, seafoods, plenty of sides and delicious sweet desserts.
Food
I came with my coworkers for a team dinner so I had the chance to try a variety of sides along with the seabass I ordered for myself. First off, the fish was pretty good and the meat was soft and not dry. Bones were not a concern and overall enjoyed the dish.
The burrata was excellent and trying the jam over the bread is a must.
The fava bean hummus appetizer was good as well and is something to get if you like hummus.
The meat and cheese board is nice to pick at but nothing too exceptional about it.
We got the hearth oven mushrooms but that wasn’t very popular at the table and we ended up not finishing it.
The brussel sprouts were well cooked and pretty good.
For dessert we had the panna cotta and the apple cobbler and I thought that they were both very good. The panna cotta flavors can be different depending on the season.
Atmosphere
The interior looks upscale and is very organized and clean. I did find the tables to be a little low though. The noise level was not too loud for on a Thursday evening and I could hear people across the table. Good place to come celebrate or just have a nice dinner.
Pricing
The prices are average for this type of upscale restaurant, but a little bit more expensive if you had chosen to get these foods at a more casual place. The price was worth the food.
Service
I have mixed things to say about the service. We had made a reservation for our group of 10 people but when we arrived they had tried to seat us at 2 separate tables for our team dinner. We didn’t request this but then eventually they were able to accommodate us and seat us all together. Otherwise, the service was good and taken care of promptly.

The food is super tasty! 🍽️ There were a few things that were unfortunate of course.. at the time we visited - there was a renovation going on at the hotel and it created some discomfort getting to the restroom, also - a lot of menu items were out as well.. but overall - the deliciousness of the food made up for all the discomfort 🥰
Most of my food was warm except for the tomatoes for some reason. The food arrived quickly. A cozy place that fits lots of people
Excellent burger and fries.
I took my business colleagues from out of town here for lunch and everyone thought the food was really good. I had the burger and fries and my colleagues had a fried chicken sandwich and a reuben sandwich and all were good.
The ambiance and style of the restaurant is dark and cozy and seems like it would be a good place to take someone for a few cocktails.
Superb! The experience was absolutely divine and the food was out of this world. Not a ton of gluten free options, but you can definitely find something to suit your needs!
Must go! Specially if you are looking for breakfast or brunch, we where delighted! It is very nicely decorated, really clean, great service and amazing food!
Awesome atmosphere here in the old Marquette Inn restaurant! I couldn't make up my mind so I got the chili & brussel sprouts 😋 I'll be back ✌🏼
