River Rost Chicago

The server offered to check with his manager to see if we could make something work, but unfortunately, that didn’t pan out. He then took my drink order. I had spotted an intriguing item on the specials menu upstairs, but it turned out to be for an event the night before. He had to confirm whether I could order it, but again, no luck. I settled for a different drink and lunch option. Our server brought my drink, but it wasn’t quite right. However, he quickly rectified the mistake with a smile and a positive attitude. I apologized several times for the inconvenience, and he cheerfully reassured me that it was okay since it was my birthday. The food arrived beautifully presented. While I would have preferred my original choice, I take full responsibility for not clarifying the weekend menu options. By the end of the meal, the server surprised me by saying I would get a complimentary key lime pie for my birthday but also handed me the dessert menu in case I wanted something else (it felt like he knew me… lol). I asked for the chocolate cheesecake, and he made it happen. The manager even came over to greet me and thank me for celebrating there, and the busboy wished me a happy birthday in Spanish. Despite the initial setbacks, our server went above and beyond to ensure my experience was special. To the management, consider giving Kyle the employee of the month parking spot, a raise, or at least a heartfelt thank you. It's dedicated employees like him who keep customers coming back. And for anyone looking for a great view and good food, definitely request to be seated in Kyle’s section—you won’t be disappointed!

I had a fantastic dining experience. The service was outstanding and the view was breathtaking. What more could you want? The key lime pie was the best I've ever tasted, and I indulge in it every birthday. The tenderloin was incredibly tender and absolutely delicious. You definitely need to check this place out!

From the exceptional service in making our reservations (thank you, Destiny) to the expertly crafted cocktails and dining suggestions from the bartender (thanks, bartender), and the knowledgeable server (thank you, server), everything was fantastic. We enjoyed the Benzino, Pork Shoulder, Roast Beef, and Chicken, and we cleaned our plates—everything was delicious. The fish was surprisingly good. The desserts were decent but not exceptional; the carrot cake was a highlight, while the chocolate cheesecake was a bit dry, and the key lime pie was very good, though it could use a little more graham cracker crust. Overall, it was an outstanding dining experience. We spent $400, and it was worth every penny. Great job, team!

Great brunch and when we were there they had excellent musicians playing some great blues music. And the views were great overlooking the river and the river walk stairs. The food was yummy! Loved it there!

Great place for a larger party. Family style dishes are delicious and perfectly done. Visited Friday evening for a friends birthday and everyone loved it. Roasted chicken, roast pork roast and roasted fish were fantastic. Try the shashito peppers and carrots too. Something for everyone.
