Had an amazing birthday dinner at the River Roast. Great food, drinks, dessert, and almost sublime service. Valet parking is $18 and the way to go. The octopus, brussel sprouts, and lamb are recommended. Among the four of us, we spend $100 each which that includes a 25% tip.
Great spot on the river walk! We used the valet in front, and they were able to seat us a little earlier than our reservation. Very friendly staff. The food was great, and we enjoyed a bottle of wine. The macaroni was delicious and pimentos and breadcrumbs were a nice touch. We walked outside after dinner to soak in the views!
The view of the river is beautiful and the chicken is fabulous. If we were to return, however, we would have the chicken because the beef unfortunately was underwhelming. I had the unfortunate experience of ordering medium rare but had it served so well done it was practically congratulating me. So I had it re-done and in another picture you can see it was not too bad, but it was surprisingly underwhelming for the price. Nonethless, we still enjoyed our Christmas eve dinner together with the view, the nice chicken and the great service.

Service was top notch from start to finish—attentive, professional, and friendly. The food overall was good, though not outstanding. The mussels were disappointing, with nearly half not fully open, something that should have been caught before leaving the kitchen. The staff handled it well and made it right. The pork dish was fantastic, cooked perfectly with great flavor, and the chicken was solid but not memorable. The chocolate dessert, though, was absolutely awesome—rich, smooth, and the highlight of the meal. If you are in the area, solid choice especially when warm along the river. I would not make a special trip across town.
What an amazing experience! I sat on the patio overlooking the river — the view of the city and skyline is just beautiful. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. The White Bean Soup, Pull Apart Rolls, and the Half Chicken (their specialty) were absolutely delicious. The atmosphere inside is also stylish and well cared for. A must-try spot in Chicago — I’ll definitely be back!
