Jacqueline BrownJuly 6, 2018The seasonal watermelon and feta salad is amazing. Shrimp cocktail is a favorite. I would skip the pigs in a blanket and order the carpaccio. Crab cake and Dover sole we’re good too.
BiancaSeptember 29, 2019One of their classics is the Chicago style dog. Try just for curiosity. All the other dishes in the menu are great! Loved Ralph’s cocktail!
ISC ChicagoNovember 29, 2014Best classical steak tartare; other places may do it better or may be more innovative, but RL sticks with tradition

Amy LebowskyOctober 16, 2014Best dirty martini I've had in years. Blue cheese stuffed olives included. If you get a lucky seat at the bar, plant it for a bit and enjoy the people watching.
Patrick Jay MMarch 28, 2016Gosh where to begin. The service is excellent, the food is above standards. The people that dine their are well mannered and lastly there is no holding back on request for special orders
Steven ParkerFebruary 4, 2016Tell me, what is not to like about this?? Great food, comfy surroundings and service excellence. Go anytime but lunch in the bar is great!
Rebecca PlaineFebruary 3, 2018Best french toast ever! Make a reservation on open table but if you can, try to sit in the lounge instead. Much more laid back.
Jumana IOctober 15, 2013Amazing atmosphere, great service, and delicious food! Got to try the calamari, crap cake, RL burger it's something else!!
- A true Chicago classic! Amazing service. Cozy atmosphere. I personally love the steak tartare and scallops! Snag a seat by the fireplace + enjoy a cocktail...or 3
Bill PeelerApril 7, 2017Food is really good, service is awesome - but man, is this place waspy! Even the gays are serving up their best Gold Coast judgements.
Dana DanielleSeptember 8, 2016Brunch on the patio is great for people watching! Staff is amazing and the fried calamari is the best in the city!
M.U.S.T. try the escargot. Not sure if they are a regular item but if you see it in the menu that day GET THEM! Then again anything at this GEM is amazing - even something as simple as a burger!!!!
AliciaJanuary 29, 2013No need to look over the menu, order the Steak Diane. The service and overall atmosphere are phenomenal. An absolute must if you're in Chicago.- French Kiss Oysters + Rosé = perfect afternoon! RL has been a favorite for many years. Classic, relaxing, wonderful service always.
Dema AlissaJune 11, 2019Good service. Tried pigs in a blanket 👌🏼 chopped vegetable salad 😋 and steak sandwich 👍🏼. Highly recommended place
Chema SanromanMay 7, 2017Great food and atmosphere. The best oysters I've had in my life. The RL burger is really good too.- Christopher FlossDecember 20, 2014A great place to have a good meal or to stop for a drink. We love the bar area!!!! Very traditional venue.
Gary JordanJanuary 24, 2012RL is always on my must dine list whenever I'm in Chicago. I've yet to ever have a bad experience there. Food, Service, Location, Atmosphere, RL always delivers.
Sue AMarch 4, 2017You can't go wrong with anything you order here!! Food, service, and ambience all are top-notch!!- Christopher FlossMarch 7, 2015If you're looking for a table for two in Chicago's Streeterville area, go to RL at Michigan and Chicago. Two clubman chairs and a small table up against a warm fireplace!!!
- Jason BaloghJune 14, 2013Try the veal Milanese (off the menu). Steak Diane is one of the best dishes in the city as well.
Stacey NeuhausApril 13, 2012Lorenzo was the best. So attentive and accommodating. Ordered a grilled veggie platter off the menu and he didn't bat an eye at the request.
Molly EFebruary 8, 2015Great cozy spot for brunch on the weekends. The corner booths are great for a couple.- Christopher FlossAugust 9, 2015RL did an amazing job for my wife's birthday this evening. The strip steak was AMAZING!!! GREAT SERVICE!!!
Ghadi TayebMay 13, 2017I do not like what I ordered but maybe my choice was not that much I will try something else next time. The grilled cheese was so oily and I did nit like the tomato soup
Al Shaima Al MadaniAugust 18, 2016The cheese burger is excellent 👌🏼🍔 make sure to how do you wanted to be cooked
Travel + LeisureMay 29, 2012Dine at the Chicago flagship, where you can enjoy the signature Steak Diane or the classic RL Burger.
Valerie DanzigMay 31, 2013The best bread ever!! They serve a bread basket with your soup. It was to die for!!!
Gabrielle GomezNovember 26, 2012We tried the burger with the papardelle sauce (truffle sauce) and it was heaven! Best bite ever!!
Nina H.June 21, 2011Get the polo club if your in the mood for a BLT. Best I've ever had. So yummy I won't ever forget it. Will be back many times!
Fran SuJune 3, 2022Chopped spring salad is great. Lobster rolls are a little disappointing. Probably should have gotten the steak.- Christopher FlossJanuary 21, 2015RL has an amazing Sirloin steak! The dining room is spectacular, too!!!
T HDecember 22, 2017Amazing food and scene. For the plant-based, vegan, vegetarian, they have a great salad (and fries)!
Fletcher RhoadsAugust 8, 2014Good cocktails, RL burger is good. Calamari is a great starter appetizer.
Adore this Restaurant, I like the design it's so unique !
For a quick bite, sit in the bar area and order a nice drink and an RL Burger - one of my favorite burgers in the city.
Caleb BinkleyMarch 26, 2012The steak sandwich on the lunch menu is excellent. Ordered mine medium well, but probably would have been much better cooked medium.
Crain's Chicago BusinessJuly 22, 2010The lobster club sandwich with applewood smoked bacon and truffle mayo is tasty and sums up the mood here perfectly: everyday luxury. Read more
On weekends, try the chicken hash on the brunch menus. It's awesome and big enough for two.
Katrina KuhnMay 23, 2012Key lime pie was DELISH!! Great friendly service, and a luxurious atmosphere.
champagne, steak tartare and lobster bisgue on the patio - that's all you need to know.
Vincent AnzaloneJanuary 28, 2012Chicken hash is great anytime of the day and they often have kumamoto oysters
Chris MillerJanuary 2, 2012The freshest shrimp combined with a perfect Hendricks cocktail sauce. Amazing.
