Diner Reviews
  • "Glad we went. Good food and great inside and outside view."
    Dined on 7/19/2014
  • "Overall, the food (Steak and Lobster) were simply disappointing for the price. Steak rather dry and lobster tail over cooked. Basically your paying for the fact your eating in downtown Chicago. I wouldn't go back. If you find yourself eating there anytime soon, save yourself a lot of money and order the hamburger. You will be glad you did."
    Dined on 7/19/2014
  • "The hostest on the patio and inside were extremely rude. This would be the main reason I would not return. They were very short, rude and did not show that they cared about guest experience. This put a bad taste in our mouth from the moment we walked in."

RPM was much better"

Food was well prepared and exactly what everyone wanted. Meat was good, but, expensive. Very friendly, and fun place. Well located and overall a fine choice."

  • "If the weather is nice eat outside! Had a late lunch and came here. There was not a very long wait to sit outside. My boyfriend and I split a pizza and salad ! Perfect portions for both of us. The pizza is super thin and crispy crust. We also each ordered drinks from the cocktail menu. Fun drinks to select from. We will go back!"

  • "Food and service was excellent. Only problem was that restaurant had not received the reservation thru open table but accommodated us."
    Dined on 6/29/2014
  • "This was a bad experience. The Tavern on Rush called the day before to confirm the reservation. Yet when we arrived (on time) the young, attractive, stupid, arrogant hostess said we had no reservation. When I told her the restaurant called and confirmed the day before, she just looked down her nose and said "I don't have a reservation for you." She should be fired. Eventually the manager stepped in and agreed we had a reservation. The service was generally bad. We waited a half hour between the salad and main coarse. I would not go back."

  • "We has Brian as a server. It took 10 minutes to get drink order! 10 minutes to order food and we only saw him two times in th rest of the next hour we were there. We had to flag him down to get check. The Pineapple Express there special drink and my food were great! The ambience was nice too!"

  • "Have been there many times and the food and service is always excellent"
    Dined on 6/28/2014
  • "First... make sure you have a reservation and show up on time. We were 15 minutes late and our table was gone. They did get us in about 30 minutes later. Great bar area to wait in so the time flew by. Service was great, very friendly and not stuffy. I like when a waiter has a personality. Apps came out to quick (we found out our waiter grab some for another table because he didn't want us to wait.) Told him to wait on the main course and he pushed it back. Steaks cooked to perfection. Be prepared to spend money if you want a good bottle of wine."

  • "The food itself was solid and everything we ordered was prepared nicely but overall it was not inventive or exceptional. Our waitress Jodette however was great! Funny and attentive she made our evening a lot of fun and memorable. ."

  • "We went to watch a World Cup game and we had plenty of TVs to look at. Great ambience and service is excellent . The plates come big so you might share. A pasta for 2 is more than enough (plenty enough). Also the appetizers and salads."

  • "We love Tavern on Rush! We were there recently for an anniversary dinner. We love bringing people here because the menu is diverse and the food is always excellent. Their steaks are a real highlight of the menu. And their seafood is always well prepared and fresh. They incorporate seasonal items, too, which keeps things interesting. Our service has been consistently great. The servers are attentive, knowledgable and friendly. And make sure you save room for one of their fantastic desserts, big enough to share. Can't wait to go back!!"

    Dined on 6/13/2014
  • "The hostess was very unpleasant and unhelpful. We were visiting Chicago and hoped to sit outside and requested a specific location, not table. There were several tables open but the hostess refused to seat us there as she was holding it for investors. When we said we would wait for a table she made excuses and said it would be over an hour before she could accommodate. We elected to take another out of the way table."
    Dined on 6/13/2014
  • "One of my favorite lunch spots for work or before/after nearby shopping sprees on Michigan Avenue. Very popular for its outdoor dining, corner location with great people views and friendly, efficient staff. The menu is extensive with much variety and many healthy dining options."

  • "Went to lunch here one weekend for the first time and really liked it. Brought my mom to lunch on a week day when she visited because I thought she would really like it and she did. Then I brought some friends from Miami on Thursday night because it was close their hotel. Thursday night was a shocker! We had a reservation but the guys insisted on staying downstairs to watch the NBA playoff game. They totally accommodated us in the reserved section right when you walk in. I was surprised on how lively the place was. There was a DJ and he pumped it up once it got a little later. I haven't dined outside there yet, but looking forward to it. They need a frequent diner card for me!"

  • "I was amazed at the action that this restaurant had on a Tuesday night. The bar was packed at 8:00 pm, but the bar service was great. I waited for my dinner date to arrive and when she did, we were immediately escorted upstairs to a wonderful table by the window. A great view! The staff there seemed to know exactly what we wanted. The service process was some of the best I have ever had. They did not rush... nor did we have to wait for anything. The food was prepared exactly as requested. All around, I would say that my experience was a 9.5 out of 10. I would recommend the Tavern on Rush to any good friend."

  • "I felt the food was middle of the road- nothing stood out- we ordered grilled calamari for appetizer and it was rubbery. I ordered a filet mignon and presentation was a piece of meat on the plate....very unappetizing"

  • "Recently visited for my Mom's birthday. Melinda and Jodell were fantastic servers. They completely made our evening wonderful."
