"Ria unquestionably deserves its Michelin stars. One of the great high-end dining experiences in Chicago (and there are several to chose from), Ria offers a fabulous tasting menu and creative wine pairings. Anyplace that offers a Champagne cart as your first choice can't be all bad. Each dish is as beautiful as it is delicious. Whether you are looking for the full chef's menu or just a couple of selections of the menu, Ria is a destination restaurant."

"would be nice if staff pointed out the automatic gratuity as opposed to being quiet about it in hopes of scoring more....not that it might not be deserved but........"
