The Duke - (the butter, so yummy)
Jeazette V.

Wasn't sure about this place, but it's a must when in town. Eric our waiter was informative and so personable. Ask for him and you won't be disappointed. The service is top notch. We ordered the Japanese hamachi and it was like butter. Soft and tasty. Also started with the cucumber, corn, avocado salad, just the right amount of citrus. Hubby had the Duke and the meat melted in your mouth. I had the fillet 6 ounce it was yummy. We paired it with the blue cheese creamy mashed potatoes and the broccolini so happy. To end the evening we had the donuts lightly sugared and wow. Everything was so good. Would come back again. All I can say is WOW and WOW. Enjoyed the music in the background.

Center-Cut Filet*, Millionaire's Baked Potato, Spicy Broccolini
Daezha B.

RPM Steak was good! Reservations can easily be made via Open Table, so I reserved a dinner date in advance. However, upon arrival, we still ended up waiting about 20 minutes past our designated time. I attributed this to it being a busy Friday night. We skipped appetizers and went straight for entrees and sides. I ordered the center cut filet + garlic and rosemary butter with sides of Millionaire's potato and spicy broccolini. My steak was amazing! Very well prepared, flavorful, and the perfect "medium" temperature. It was quite honestly one of the best steaks I've ever had. The potato was huge and very savory; I enjoyed it. The broccolini was definitely a bit too spicy for me, but still tasty and perfectly steamed.

Prosecco Supernova & RPM Spritz

We went here for a special date night and to be fair, we were expecting a little better for service. We have been to many other high-end steakhouses, so the service here was not what we had expected at all. Our server did not seem attentive at all, gave only 1 check in, forgot to tell us the specials, and did not walk through the menus at all. We gave benefit of the doubt that perhaps the restaurant was just busy (we had reservations), but it did not seem like that was the case. The table next to us had a different server, and they were way more attentive, and giving recommendations based on what is popular. To us, it felt like the service was not worth the price we paid for at all (~$400). As former food service workers, we wanted to give some grace, but at the same time, it is hard for us to justify the level of service for a restaurant that is supposed to be very nice. However, the food was delicious. The NY Strip was a little tough to cut through, but it tasted great. The fries however, seemed like they were cold, and perhaps a little old since they had a soggy texture to it. Ambiance was beautiful. We had reservations, and we were seated in a half-circle booth. The lighting was good, and no complaints about the noise levels. Would I come here again? Most likely not, but it was an OK experience overall. Maybe we just expected a little more from a nice restaurant, but the service could have been significantly better based on our experience.

Dim lighting, great music, and comfy booths with a view make the vibes 9.5/10. Service was amazing, friendly, funny, and attentive. 9/10 The steak had perfect texture, crispy outside, medium rare inside, a little plain in flavor though. 8/10 King crab mac & cheese was rich and truffle-y with perfect crab texture. 8.5/10 Parmesan risotto was comforting and creamy with generous amount of black truffle but not the most exciting. 7.5/10 Parker house rolls were warm and soft, pretty simple. 6/10 Chocolate cake was rich and humongous, perfect dessert. 9/10 Cocktails were solid. Carajillo Picoso was like a smooth espresso martini, Monte Cassino was sweet and high quality. 8/10. Such a great date night spot with amazing ambiance if you love steak!

Had a great experience! The food was delicious, high quality, and definitely filling. Customer service is very important to me, and John truly stood out with how friendly, attentive, and welcoming he was throughout the entire visit. Especially today on my birthday, he went the extra mile to make me feel special and taken care of. Great food and even better service -- I'll definitely be back!

My last visit to RPM Steak was another winner. It was a bustling Saturday night, which made it great for people watching. Our server and his team were fantastic. They checked on us often and made our evening fun. We enjoyed salads, steaks, tuna, fries and mashed potatoes. Everything tasted delicious. Of course we finished our meal with made to order strawberry cotton candy.

The Happy Birthday Cotton Candy
Brennen B.

Amazing food, amazing service and the mood and ambiance of the restaurant was very calm and relaxing. Very very impressed with RPM Steak. The staff were friendly and we felt like we were always taken care of. I highly recommend the crab cakes and oysters! Wonderful restaurant. I will definitely be returning. I highly recommend RPM Steak

Tiffany H.

This is a higher Inn restaurant in downtown Chicago that is limited. They seem very crowded and popular is best to probably Uber or valet. They have a daily cotton candy flavor, which is awesome for someone who has a sweet tooth. The burger was OK. The fries were extremely salty. My drinks were good set at the bar because there was literally no seats. Highly recommend you make a reservation there was nothing recommended or really outstanding about this place. Hope you enjoy!

Wagyu Double Cheeseburger and Creekstone Filet
Puneet S.

I recently went for my birthday and I had heard nothing but great things about this place. We let them know in advance that we were there celebrating my birthday. We were greeted and sat down to a welcoming menu that read happy birthday. We had a wonderful waiter who greeted us and was very enthusiastic about us being there for a first time. I had mentioned that I had only been there to pick up the wonderful chocolate cake for takeout. He remembered that. We started with the pop over rolls and kale salad as well as I ordered the Zero Proof drink called Waitlist. First the drink: it was very refreshing and lightly sweetened with a nice sparkle. The rolls were crispy with an airy and flaky inside. Came with a wonderful seasoned butter appeared nicely with it, and the textures were all on point. The kill salad was nice and fresh. The dressing on it was a little tangy prepared nicely with the fresh mushrooms, and there was shredded cheese. I was slightly dusted over it. All the textures were great and the crispy onions also were nice. For the main course, we ordered the double Wagyu cheeseburger and the creek stone center cut fillet. The fillet was cooked medium well and it was phenomenal. For someone that doesn't eat steak as often it had a very nice taste and texture as well as we paired it with a truffle sauce. The Wagyu cheeseburger was amazing with a soft pillow bun and amazing garlic sauce, and crispy onions. The meat on the burger was very tasteful and not too thick which I loved. The fries that came with those were seasoned well. Next for the sides, we ordered hen of the mushrooms and the golden plate of the night was the Japanese sweet potatoes. The mushrooms had a nice flair to them and tasted very fresh she had seasoned. The Japanese potatoes were flesh fried and had a crispy texture on the outside had were soft and pull away on the inside, and there was a nice glazed sauce on it. Overall, the textures and sauce combinations worked so well in this dish. This is definitely a sleeper item for anyone to try. Last I was surprised with a happy birthday cotton candy, which was very whimsical and nice for celebrating a birthday and the waiter remembered about my favorite cake and was able to provide the 14k chocolate cake and that was such a wonderful end to an amazing dinner thank you RPM for allowing me to celebrate my birthday in the most amazing way. The waiter was Ray, amazing service. Please ask for him next time!

Ora King Salmon, Filet Mignon
Monse T.

Salmon? Great. Steak? Cut like butter. Sweet potatoes? Sweeter than an old lady. Crab cake? I'll take 10. No but seriously, I can't stop thinking about the crab cake. I don't remember what kind of sauce was on the top, but it was so flavorful! The salmon was delicious and melted like butter. Our steak was full of flavor and paired well with rosemary fries. I also ordered a zero proof drink that had cucumber soda and it was so refreshing! The restaurant had good vibes flowing all around, it's dimly lit and had upbeat music playing. We'll definitely be coming back and trying some other dishes.

Ben J.

This place was really good. Well prepared food! Thoughtful atmosphere and kind people. The apps were tasty as was the entree. The service was great and the the atmosphere was decadent. Next time in the area I will absolutely be stopping by.

Cowboy Steak
Jessica T.

Went here for Valentine's Day and had an amazing experience! Our server had great recommendations and was very friendly. Food came out in a timely fashion and everything tasted amazing. I recommend the Parker House rolls to start, they were so soft and warm. We got split the cowboy steak and it was the perfect amount to share between two people. I would definitely come back here again!

La Vonne M.

Food and service was amazing. The setting is a bit dark for a business meeting, so hard to see everyone. Started out with appetizer for the table thick bacon for me; which was great. Meal was the Duke (ribeye) with Mac n cheese and spinach, everything was seasoned well and nice portion size. Dessert for the table cotton candy and chocolate cake. Just great all the way!! Plan to share sides and desserts.

What is the purpose of the $50 deposit? What does it go towards? Is it added to the bill? Just curious! I am interested in this establishment for my birthday.

To make sure you show up. They refund it when you arrive. I didn't like it but I guess I understand why...

Is this steak house kid friendly, I have my anniversary coming up and I have 2 kids. 5 years old and 2.5 years old, don't have a place to leave them?

Hi Mohammed, RPM Steak is child friendly. We look forward to welcoming you. Cheers!

Do you still have beef from Creekstone farm in Arkansas?

Hi Promee, We do feature a number of steaks from Creekstone in Arkansas. Our current selections can all be seen by visiting https://www.rpmrestaurants.com/rpm-steak-chicago/menus/. Cheers!

What is the dress code?

Causal. For example, I wore jeans and a polo shirt. Some patrons were very formal, others were business casual, the rest had jeans and a nice top. Hope that helps

Has anyone dined in the greenhouses? How are the COVID procedures? Are they aired out in between reservations?

Yes. Very few tables and those were seated every other table. There was ample ventilation.

Are the burgers an option on the dinner menu? (As I am looking at the menus online I am only seeing it on the lunch menu)

Yes and it is amazing!

No views since 2018? Dress code?

I actually reviewed RPM in December of 2019. Went there for a work holiday dinner and it was a spectacular experience. The decor, the service...the food all top notch. We were in nice jeans, sport coats or sweaters. I didn't feel underdressed at… 

My boyfriend is a vegetarian,do they have alot of options for veggies besides mash potatoes?

Yes! I went with a coworker that is vegetarian. He ordered the potatoes, Brussel sprouts and broccoli.

This may be silly, but are the crab legs hot or cold? And how Spicy is the miso lobster?

It's RPM you can have your crab legs chilled or warm. Miso wasn't spicy to me.

Question regarding the dressy attire. How dressy or casual is it?

They're not going to throw you out if you're too cas, but I would dress nice for this place.

Friend asked if 14k is ok- says 24k is what's mandatorily used due to purity. Ppl were scared to eat bc google said not to under 23/24k, but I still ate it. To clarify, my Q is not if I'm gonna be ok, it's if i'm paying $14 to eat toxins?

Nobody gets out of here alive so eat whatever you want. Death is a certain.

The vibe is speakeasy-ish; the entrance is off the street in an alleyway but the interior is very nice, low light, and would be fun for a date night! The staff were attentive and very friendly. My friend got some shots, which were surprisingly good given they were kind of sweet, and I ordered the "mystic lamp" cocktail ($16) which was VERY memorable to me as someone that loves floral drinks -- it was very floral, slightly fruity, and had a lovely chunk of lychee it came with which was delicious! The drink was decent sized too; I've been charged a lot more for much less drink at other speakeasies (those of which I don't plan to visit again any time soon haha). In my opinion, this spot has the perfect combo of great drinks, nice ambiance, cool speakeasy-vibes, but also cheerfulness given the tiki-theme inside. Would definitely rec a visit to anyone visiting Chicago who likes cool bars!

I can't understand what the fuss is all about here. I couldn't wait to leave…read more This place represents itself as a tiki bar but is the most half-hearted attempt I have ever seen. I was excited for the experience having heard how busy it gets, blah blah. These positive reviewers need to seek out other tiki bars. After you negotiate the alley entrance and go down dangerously dark stairs, you are met with crazy boring decor. I kept thinking there had to be more right? The whole point of a tiki bar is to strike a mood, but hanging a very few polynesian masks on the wall, putting up a grass facade over the bar and dressing the servers in vaguely polynesian outfits is sad. I've seen private tiki bars at people's homes that are more exciting. Add to this a comparably boring music selection played far too loud over boomy lo-fi speakers and you'll wonder what's going on here. So what about the food and drink? Completely uninspired for anyone who's had more than a mai tai before in their life. About a dozen extremely common drink choices is all you get!! No specials, that's it. When I asked if this was the whole cocktail menu, the server said it was but they have a full bar so you can get anything you want. Well, I could get that service at just about any bar in the world, so big deal. Maybe it would be better if you sat at the bar and chatted up the bartender. One could also go taste their rum selections and other cocktails in the Bamboo Room, but I hate that kind of elitist nonsense. That's never been what tiki bars were about. The drinks we sampled were okay at best. Even the namesake 3 Dots and A Dash cocktail was lackluster and used cheap cherries for the dots instead of classic Luxardos. (If you know, you know) The appetizers were okay, but way overpriced. 5 tiny spring rolls for $18. Come on guys, enough already. I'd rather go to the bar at the Polynesian Hotel at Disney than return here. This place is a hard pass.

It's a reasonably-priced busy dive bar in the heart of Chicago. I asked the bartender if she had a beer + shot deal and she said "no, but you can order a beer and shot." And so we did! Noise level is fairly high, thanks to a lively crowd plus a jukebox. They don't normally serve food but I think are fine with customers bringing in your own food, and you can also place an order from a nearby restaurant (I don't recall which one). And yes, it's cash only so bring some money if you don't want to pay ATM fees! 4 out of 5 Green Stars for social and environmental impact. I like bars that allow customers to bring (or order) their own food - it allows for all diets! The one thing I'd like to see is more beer on tap - even just one good rotating local beer (e.g., Goose Island). Draft beer has smaller environmental footprints compared to bottled or canned.

After a quick ID check at the door, the bouncer let us know it's cash only (thankfully we came prepared). From the moment we walked in, dim lighting, loud music, and shoulder-to-shoulder crowds gave the vibe of a full-on frat party, but not in a bad way. It's chaotic, energetic, and unapologetically no-frills. There's even a self-serve cooler with drink prices clearly listed underneath. I grabbed a Sapporo Premium, brought it to the counter, and our friendly bartender broke our change and offered a chilled glass to pour it into. Simple and efficient. That said, it was loud, so loud that even whispering-distance conversations were a struggle. The space is small, seating is limited, and since we couldn't snag a spot, we ended up leaving shortly after finishing our drinks. This feels like a better weekday hang than a packed weekend night. Still, if you're looking for a classic, gritty, no-frills dive experience, Rossi's delivers exactly that.

We told her we were about to leave anyway, but the way it was handled felt really abrupt and rude. What made it worse was that she immediately brought a group over to take our table, and even they were apologizing to us because they seemed uncomfortable with how it was handled. I've worked in bars and restaurants myself, so I completely understand needing to manage space, but there's a way to do it respectfully, and this wasn't it. Unfortunately, this experience left a bad impression, and despite having been here multiple times before, I won't be returning.
