4.7 / 5.0(3,946 reviews)
Went for my husband's birthday. Had never been here but I've been wanting to go ever since it opened. What a great restaurant!! The server was awesome! I believe her name was Jennie. So attentive in the best way. Had appetizers, a pasta course and then steaks. Everything was delicious! The view from our table was incredible and loved seeing the buildings along the river light up as the sun set. I must go back soon, it's really that good. Husband loved it and still talks about it. I believe we arrived at 530 and left around 830, the night just flowed easily. Went here to treat myself after the Chicago Marathon 2025 because I have see. A lot of amazing reviews. And they didn’t disappoint! I walked in and got a table, the reception was so welcoming and friendly, the staff at the second floor was so friendly too. I ordered the Chicago steak and it was amazing! I was wearing my medal when I went - they are so sweet they gave me a free dessert - chicolate cake with vanilla ice cream. My waitress - Elena - was the best! I was dining alone and she made sure I was attended properly. Thank you so much. I’ll definitely recommend to friends. Amazing ambiance and river view - the standout to me was the baked potato. So rich, good crust, and absorbed flavor so well. The spicy rigatoni pasta had good flavor, but it was a little chewier than I’d expect. I liked the steak, but wasn’t overly impressed and I prefer Bavettes. Some compound better would’ve elevated it further. I think this is a great meal, certainly expensive but excellent for business meals.

We had an amazing lunch on a beautiful Sunday. They sat us at a table by the window per our request and Ilarion went above and beyond to make our celebration very special. The brussel sprouts, papparedelle, and Chicago cut steak were delicious. We will be back!

This was a very wonderful experience. Each member of the staff that had anything to do with our reservation was extremely kind and professional. Our dinner selections were as beautiful as they were delicious. Since I wasn't clear on the "soup bowl licking policy" at Gibson's, I restrained myself, but it wasn't easy, as the King Crab Bisque was one of the best things I've ever tasted.
