Restaurants near Hard Rock Cafe Chicago

It was our first time dining at RPM Italian and it did not disappoint! From the moment we walked in to the moment we left was top notch. All the staff were friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable. The drinks and food were outstanding. Make sure to get the meatballs as an appetizer and the carrot cake for dessert!! The meals are perfect portions for sharing with everyone at the table.

Overall a great experience. The restaurant is setup for high volume as the tables are small and very tight together. I understand packing the tables together to maximize the space helps earn money - it was a bit too tight for my personal liking- although I would return.

We made reservations at Chicago Chop House as part of our annual holiday trip downtown and it did not disappoint. We were seated on the 2nd floor right in front of the window and enjoyed the view of the Christmas tree on the rooftop along with the Christmas music from the piano player on the 1st floor. The appetizer (Wagu meatballs). steaks and mashed potatoes were delicious. The Creme Brulee was fabulous! Overall we thought the cost was in alignment with most steakhouses but the ambience and the staff (Gabe, our waiter) made it a wonderful holiday experience. If you do decide to dine at Chicago Chop House take the time to read about its history.

Our experience at Joe's was excellent from beginning to end. We were greeted by the maitre'd as if we were one of their best customers and were seated at a booth that we sat in the last time we were there even though we did not request it. The service was impeccable as we were not rushed even though the restaurant was very busy. The timing of the food from beginning to end was at comfortable pace and the food, including salad, grilled seafood and a steak, was perfectly prepared. The general manager of the restaurant even came to our table to welcome us. All in all, it was one of the best dining experiences of the year, and we visit many restaurants throughout the year.

We had a a phenomenal and an amazing table! Could not have had anything any better! Thank you TAO, we will be back.
