- PPaulChicago / Illinois •1 review5.0Dined 1 day agoThe wait staff were amazing. Our server gave great descriptions and suggestions for ordering. The family style service provided a great opportunity to taste and try a very tasty variety of starters and main dishes. We had a large group of 12-6 adults and 6 kids ranging in age from about 17 months to 17 years of age. Drinks and food came out as they were ready and gave everyone plenty of time to enjoy. The venue has a warm and welcoming vibe in sync with the warm and welcoming staff. Looking forward to our next visit!More infoQuartino - ChicagoPrice: Moderate• Italian• River North (Chicago)•4.5
- LLyndsiChicago / Illinois •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoIt was our first time dining at RPM Italian and it did not disappoint! From the moment we walked in to the moment we left was top notch. All the staff were friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable. The drinks and food were outstanding. Make sure to get the meatballs as an appetizer and the carrot cake for dessert!! The meals are perfect portions for sharing with everyone at the table.More infoRPM Italian - ChicagoPrice: Expensive• Italian• River North (Chicago)•4.6
- JJamieVIPChicago / Illinois •5 reviews4.0Dined 2 days agoCelebrated my boyfriend’s birthday last night. Our server Juan enhance our dining experience with his exemplary level of service and knowledge of Spanish cuisine. He guided us through the entire dining process from picking out the best steak for our tastes we anre heavy into dry aged steak. He suggested a steak that was a special for the evening and the sides to complement. I’m giving Asador Bastian 4 stars because I wish the portion of the steak tartare was larger. That was a disappointment. Otherwise, the service, ambiance, quality of cuisine was outstanding. Please request Juan to be your server.More infoAsador BastianPrice: Very Expensive• Steakhouse• River North (Chicago)•4.6
- NNicoleVIPChicago / Illinois •55 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoThe ambiance is so lovely during Christmas and so festive. We sat at the Bar with Our martinis with blue cheese olives waiting for a table as we wanted to be seated by the Christmas tree. We began with oysters and the wagyu carpaccio, pleasing aesthetic, but even more delish. My Husband had the ribeye, which was a special and we ordered 3 sides; Gouda macaroni and cheese served in a copper crock, the haricots verts and frites, all so delish. I tasted his ribeye, but enjoyed all of the sides. My Husband had the raspberry sorbet for dessert accompanied by an espresso martini which I had as well. The piece of resistance (not spelled as pronounced) was it was 1/2 price wine on the bottles. We enjoyed a bottle with dinner and even brought another bottle to Our hotel to enjoy.More infoLa Grande Boucherie - ChicagoPrice: Very Expensive• French• River North (Chicago)•4.5
