A word from Quay

Quay, located at 465 E Illinois in the River East building is adjacent to the Chicago River in Chicago's trendy Streeterville neighborhood. From the beautiful decor, to our chefs' impressive menu, or the upscale sports lounge no expense has been spared in doing something different, something… special. Quay offers both a late night lounge for a hand crafted cocktail and appetizers along the Chicago River. And it also has a sports bar with over 40 TV screens and a great selection of micro brews.Continued

"Musical Chairs-

The appetizers were fair, but the main coarse was amazing. If I never ate ANY of the appetizers, I would have given the food 5 stars. Quay accomodated for my large group. Still, I had to literally beg to place our tables together for my birthday. We were originally at 4 tables of 5. It was a simple change of the table arrangement that was finally made!

Thanks!"

"I first saw this place on Giuliana & Bill, Bill is friends with the owner and also this was a recommended place, although my friend said it was touristy because it was near Navy Pier. I went with coworkers during lunch time so not a lot of people there. I liked the ambiance, it would be a good place for drinks, very nice bar area.
The food was ok, typical bar food.
Our waiter wasn't that great. There were hardly any people in the restuarant and he could have been more attentive. He brought our appetizer out with our main dishes. He said "oh I thought I would just bring it out at the same time". I guess he didn't know what an appetizer is."

"This was my 2nd time at Quay. (alot f my friends and family frequent the place.)
Easter Brunch was just ok. I had the Lamb/Ham Special $20. Portions were VERY SMALL!Could have been alot better. Easter bunny was a greattouch. Noise level was good until a family of 4 was seated next to us with 2 crying babies! Parents kept getting up and bumping into our table. One kid was terrified of the Easter Bunny! Needless to say, the last 45 minutes of our experience was not good.

"Quay offers dining options for everyone and every occasion. Since it has three areas, in the front a vibrant sports bar with multiple flat screens, in the rear the modern atrium bar with more flat screens overlooking the dock, and tugged away in between these two areas, the stylish and quaint white cloth restaurant, patrons can choose what ambience they are in the mood for! Food in all three areas is excellent!"

Our waitress was very helpful in entree & app selection.
Wife had the duck which was excellent, and the burgers were great.
Would definitely recommend the spanish stuffed peppers...delicious."

"decent food, crab cakes were excellent, the heirloom tomatoes in the caprese were awesome. The swordfish was cooked well, but
was VERY heavy on the peppercorn-crusting, so much I had to shave a bunch of it off. A little overpowering and detracted from the fish itself. Good space, quite loud, not not unbearable."
