The steak is great, but their roasted chicken is NEXT LEVEL! Great atmosphere and it’s impossible to take a bad photo there. Also, the staff is courteous and very helpful.

The torch egg , rabbit , scallops , and fish for two are very good.???? Then a romantic walk down River Walk towards Michigan Avenue.

The menu here has so many delicious items. Try the pillowy blini with creamy trout , perfectly crisped potatoes , an intensely complex turnip gratin , and meat, lots and lots of meat. Read more

Delicious food, served up like a family meal. Can easily get a bit more expensive than intended, but that is only because the menu has so many great options! I recommend the Rabbit .

The crab and shrimp toast appetizer was fantastic. But the highlight of the meal was FAT ELVIS. Chocolate . Peanut Butter . Pretzel . Banana . Heaven.

In 1915 the SS Eastland capsized into the Chicago River between the Clark and LaSalle bridges . 844 people drowned. To this very day, many claim to hear the screams and wails of the drowning. Read more

7 - Limited options but the roasted meats are very good. Atmosphere is just okay unless you get outdoor seating . Get the Morpheus Fighting Neo drink!

Shrimp and crab on toast was great. That toast was shockingly crisp and tender. Literally melted in my mouth.
