    I was able to enjoy a late lunch with my mother at this awesome restaurant. Our food and drinks were very delightful! Also, we loved our waiter, Joseph. He welcomed us with open arms and was tastefully on point the entire time. RL Restaurant is now one of my faves in Chicago!!

    One of my must-visit spots every time I’m in Chicago. They elevate American classic dishes with refined, rich, and layered flavors that never disappoint. The atmosphere is upscale, and the service is always top-notch. Highly recommend the lobster roll and French toast—they’re absolute standouts.

    Matt, the manager was absolutely exceptional. He greeted me at my table and was very kind due to the fact that I was eating alone. He even offered me a fabulous table that had privacy that allowed me to view the entire room. He went above and beyond the call of duty!
