- TTinaChicago / Illinois •1 review5.0Dined 5 days agoWe had a group of 10 on a Saturday afternoon. They seated us promptly though two people were delayed. From there, the atmosphere was festive. The food was delicious. The apple pie ala mode was wonderful for the senses—- sweet, tart, and crunchy with just the right amount of cinnamon. We stayed for three hours with no one rushing us to release the table. We’ve been to Joes before and will continue to return.More infoJoe's Seafood, Prime Steak & Stone CrabPrice: Very Expensive• Seafood• River North (Chicago)•4.9
- OTOpenTable DinerChicago / Illinois •4 reviews5.0Dined 7 days agoIt 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.More infoRPM Italian - ChicagoPrice: Expensive• Italian• River North (Chicago)•4.6
- LLuisNew Orleans / Louisiana •4 reviews5.0Dined 7 days agoMaybe the best steak dinner ever! The crab cake appetizer was excellent as were the sides of potatoes Vesuvio and broccolini. Extremely generous portions and excellent service. The only item that can be more complete is the wine list which was lacking in any Malbec wines and anything below $100. Overall, excellent!More infoGene and GeorgettiPrice: Very Expensive• Steakhouse• River North (Chicago)•4.7
