Went here for the Martini & Rossi Terraza Martini event.
You enter through the back, walking down the side entrance.
It was fun walking down the cobblestone pavement to the back of the locations patio.
You can sit either inside or outside on the patio.
The indoor is gorgeous with cloth-covered tables and a fireplace. The outdoor patio area is great for drinks and conversation or dinner with a loved one, where you can enjoy being outside on a nice warm day.
They also rent out the restaurant for events, and weddings, and have a unique way of personalizing your celebration.
We had lamb chops, meatballs, Pizza, as well as a nice array of cold cuts and cheeses.
The staff was friendly and very attentive, we had a great time. We will return here to have dinner one evening and enjoy the location another time.
Brunch here is excellent. I'm shocked this place was relatively empty. The seafood was fresh, flavorful and simply delightful. I cannot wait to come back here. We tried the Salmon Tartare, my personal favorite on the menu, the Lobster Deviled Eggs another must have and the Petite Seafood Platter which is a combination of all seafoods on the menu just in a smaller portion. And yu can't come here without ordering a glass (or 2) of champagne. I had the Rainy Day in Paris. Wow! The staff Mixologist made a martini with a red wine topper. Not sure of the name, I think we just came at the right time when he was experimenting. I give this place a well deserved 5 stars. Based on location, atmosphere, food, drinks, and attentiveness of staff. Good job, RM! :p
Between the decór, the nestled setting, and the delicious food and cocktails this ranks high as one of my favorite restaurants in Chicago. Not only is the ambiance incomparable to anywhere else, the food is expertly prepared and the cocktails are crafted to perfection. The staff is ready to share their favorites and my pro tip? Come here for oyster Tuesdays and try a new cocktail each visit. You won't regret it!
Comfy venue great for a date. The ambience is very nice, lights at night and the music is not too loud. Their drinks are pretty good and their wine selection rules. A bit expensive though. Friendly service.
Tasty food, tried the Lyonnaise salad and the trout, both very good. Nice romantic ambiance, dim through out, although the loud music sort of kills it. The service was very nice. Thank you Heather
Unique bar and restaurant tucked away in the heart of the West Loop. We stopped in for pre-dinner cocktails (and some pommes frites - delicious!) and sat at the bar. Bartender seemed a bit bothered at helping us, but I guess everyone has off days. I'd like to go back to try a selection of the champagnes they have on offer.
An intimate bar with adorable outdoor seating and a great ambiance. Ordered oysters and drinks and enjoyed every minute of it!

My boyfriend and I decided to go to this restaurant because it was listed as one of the most romantic restaurants in Chicago. We made a reservation and we’re a bit late so I think they gave our table away. We ended up waiting 30 minutes for a table. The hostesses were very kind though and gave us a complimentary glass of champagne for the wait. My main concern is that this is dubbed one of the most romantic restaurants in Chicago and its just not. I felt that the pictures online were not an accurate portrayal of what the restaurant looks like. It was very dark inside, and on top of that the music was so loud we could barely talk. It almost feels a bit like a night club because they have the bass turned up. The restaurant is also quite small (and popular) which made it very crowded. There was no where to wait except the bar area, but that area had tables in it as well so you end up being uncomfortably close to couples trying to enjoy their meal. Overall the experience was fine and the food was good. I just wouldn’t recommend it if you’re looking for a romantic date spot.
I love this place for its sexiness. If you want to go on a date, or a cute girls night out, this is the place. The chef is also willing to do a little more than just what's on the menu. They have oysters, and I was able to request them fried. They said it was the first time, but they came out great. Book the table in advance. Nice patio as well.
We recently had our wedding ceremony/reception at RM and could not have asked for more. We instantly fell in love with the atmosphere and decor of the restaurant. The indoor outdoor combo was exactly what we were looking for. We worked with Annie who went above and beyond all of our expectations. She was attentive to every question making the entire planning process a breeze- simply amazing! Our guests were blown away with each course on the menu and we are still receiving great feedback. The service from the very start at the tasting to the big day was unparalleled. True hospitality. We cannot rave enough on how perfect our experience was and highly recommend!!
My husband and I just hosted our small wedding reception here on a Saturday afternoon & had a great experience. We worked with Bridget who was fantastic! I don't believe she works there anymore but she helped us pull off a great party and was so attentive to every phone call and email. Very professional service & the rest of the team including kitchen, serving, and bartenders also did an awesome job executing. We are so happy we chose RM! It was a great decision for an intimate reception that was fuss free and very enjoyable.
Wow, this place is a gem. I love the atmosphere here, it's a great winter spot, nice and cozy with the roaring fire and kind of transports you out of the city. Our service was great and our waitress was very knowledgeable about the food and bubbly and make some great recommendations within our budget. We definitely did some damage though and were even comped dessert for the birthday girl!
Food wise, really amazing. Oysters was awesome, tar tar was great, fries very yummy, and flat breads were also great.
Definitely a good place for a date or GNO and we will be back soon!
I looove me some bubbles and this place is one of my favorites to get just that. The dark, sexy ambiance is great for a date, or a few friends catching up over some champs.
They have great cocktails and options for bottles, in all different price ranges. I've always had great service, with in-depth descriptions of the drink selection.
The patio for warmer days looks adorable, too!
I couldn't have had a better brunch experience! The waitstaff were incredibly attentive, and prepared with great recommendations on both cocktails and food. The ambience is what really takes the cake--the patio has such a romantic vibe but is definitely suitable for a girls night out. Can't wait to go back!

I would give this place a 5 star except the service was lacking. We had an 830 reservation and we showed up on time. It was a beautiful night out so we requested to sit outside. The host advised it would be 10-15 minutes and we could wait at the bar. Ordered martini's and waited. The martini was good- definitely strong as I like it. We waited for about 30-40 minutes and I finally went up to the host stand and asked and she had completely forgot about us. We were seated and waited like 10 minutes to be greeted which was fine because we weren't in a huge hurry. We ordered a bottle of wine and the formage cheese plate. Wine was good and the cheese was good but also very small portions to be shared between 4 people. We didn't see our waiter for awhile after that and we were all here for dinner and waiting to order food. Our waiter advise us that the kitchen is taking last call so we threw and order in quick. I got the steak which was so good, two of my friends got the burger which was also amazing, and my other friend got the chicken which he advised was good but I didn't try. I think the true winner was the fries. They were so damn good. Thin and perfectly salty and crispy. The vibe was very relaxing and fun. I would definitely go back here and I would 10/10 recommend- just be patient with the staff.
