Best Fine Dining Restaurants in Goose Island

We had a great birthday celebration for my husband. The service and food was amazing! We’ll be back soon!

As someone who also works in the industry, the dining experience was exceptional, with delectable cuisine and a pleasant ambiance. The beverages were also of high quality. While the service was generally satisfactory, there were a few instances where it fell short. On three separate occasions, incorrect food was delivered to our table. Additionally, the waitress’s attentiveness was lacking, as evidenced by the infrequent visits to our table, and kept missing items that we ordered. Despite these shortcomings, the food runners provided excellent explanations and assistance, which I commend them for.

There were a few things that didn’t go well for the price tag. 1) We were 3 people dining. 2 of us received their main course and we had to wait more than 5 min for the 3rd person to receive their main course . Unacceptable. 2) When I ordered coffee along with the desert order- we received our coffees while before our desert arrived while my lemonchello arrived while after our desert. No consistency 3) My experience with truffle season.. Usually the places that offer truffles - they offer a special dish.. truffle pasta or truffle rissotto.. here it was- add to one of the dishes..so, I picked the most delicate/simple- pasta limone which is also not perfect as the flavor loses to catch the taste of the truffle - especially if you charge $59 fur the truffle shaving (black.. not white truffle )..

The food at RL Restaurant was absolutely amazing—every dish was perfectly prepared and bursting with flavor. The ambiance was also beautiful, creating a lovely atmosphere for dining. However, I think it would benefit more if it were just reservations-only. It’s a small space, and it was overly crowded and quite loud, which took away from the otherwise great experience. With fewer walk-ins, it could be even more enjoyable for guests.

I came here for my husband’s birthday dinner. The food was phenomenal - we got steak, the whipped potatoes and the decadent Mac and cheese. For starters we got soup, my husband loved the clam chowder however the French onion soup I got was a bit too sweet for my liking. One thing I will say is the soup could have been hotter, it was lukewarm. Otherwise the rest of the food was perfect. Steak was cooked to perfection. The ambience was wonderful and very romantic. The service was a complete 10/10. We really enjoyed it. It is a very expensive restaurant but I do feel like you get what you pay for.
