    Such a fantastic experience like always at any of the RPM restaurants. This was our first time at RPM and it was outstanding! Our waitress, Anna, went above & beyond this evening. We were out celebrating my boyfriend’s promotion and she was very sweet is giving us complimentary champagne and cotton candy for dessert. She gave us great recommendations for our meals. The food was absolutely amazing and we will absolutely be back! I can’t recommend this place or any of the RPM restaurants enough.

    I always have such a great experience when dining at maestro’s. The food is impeccable , it’s always so good. The customer service is beyond amazing . We had 3 waiters bringing and serving our sides , we didn’t have to fix our plates at all. The ambiance and aesthetics is just as great. The singer sang us soft beautiful music, while we ate and enjoyed our meal in a dimly lilt environment. My husband and I always enjoy ourselves immensely….. Keep doing a great job and I will continue coming back… if you haven’t been there please go , you will enjoy it all

    Joe’s is the premium steak house in Chicago! Service is not matched anywhere! Wine list is excellent and food UNBELIEVABLE! A random observation- the light level is excellent, you can actually see the food and move around the restaurant without fear of breaking your leg! Many other steakhouses are so dark, it’s a drag to see and go to the bathroom! We were delayed a tiny bit by a previous couple, Joe’s gifted us an order of Stone crab, just so thoughtful! I have been a fan of Joe’s since it first open in Chicago. Still the Best Steak/Wine list/Dessert/SERVICE IN TOWN ! NOT SUPER LOUD.
