Best Restaurants for People Watching in River North (Chicago)

A Chicago staple for great new style Asian food. Always an energetic vibe with high quality, diverse options. If you’re looking for a unique and flavorful dessert that you can’t find anywhere else try the Turon.

It was my first time at Quartino, and I'll for sure come back! Food was delicious and our server (Nicole) was great!! 5-star service!!

It was a lovely venue for a birthday celebration. Our adult children recommended it and we were not disappointed. The food was good but small portions. For those of us who are big eaters, it could have been a slightly larger serving of the pasta dish I ordered. Our waiter recommended the carrot cake and boy was it fabulous. Best we’ve ever had! We will definitely return and recommend this restaurant to our friends.

Spectacular location overlooking the Chicago River. Exceptional seafood as you would expect from a Boston-based seafood restaurant. The Express Lunch is an exceptional deal.

Best breakfast we had in Chicago! I had an outstanding breakfast with fluffy pancakes and perfectly poached eggs on avocado toast. Each dish was delicious and beautifully presented. The rich coffee and attentive service made the experience even better.
