    It was great except charged for sour dough bread we ordered b4 brunch and one of our orders came with bread which we didn’t touch and think the 3%+ service charge is crappy and not necessary!

    Holy moly! Every step of our dinner was out of sight! Try all three of the bigger than one bite amuses, the tater tot was so fun. The tuna crudo was fresh, citrusy with a little crunch from the baguette. We shared the NY strip with a side of whipped potatoes which was perfection. We finished our night enjoying the chocolate hazelnut mille-feuille with brown butter gelato…. Good lord that was dessert afterlife. This is one of those restaurants that popped up on my Instagram feed a while back and it lived up and destroyed the hype. The staff is fantastic and our server Sia was a fantastic guide, super charming, and we just loved our time with her. Can’t wait to return.

    After watching Chicago's Thanksgiving Day parade, our family went for our Turkey feast on Thanksgiving Day at River Roast. The Thanksgiving buffet menu had all delicious choices from salads, veggies, stuffing, turkey and desserts. Service was impeccable (Witche was our waitress, and thank her for the great service). The restaurant and location and views of the Chicago River were spectacular. Our family left feeling we definitely made the right choice in choosing River Roast for our Thanksgiving meal. We are looking forward to going back to River Roast in the summer to try their regular menu and enjoy the outdoor terrace.
