- JJohn and JenVIPChicago / Illinois •199 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoI celebrated my birthday at RL Restaurant in Chicago with my wife and parents, and it was absolutely perfect from start to finish. The atmosphere was timeless and cozy—RL’s signature blend of classic elegance and warm hospitality made us feel instantly welcome. We started with the calamari and rock shrimp, which was crisp, tender, and beautifully seasoned—an ideal opener. For mains, we had a delicious spread: the burger was juicy and flavorful, the lobster sandwich was rich and indulgent, and the perch was delicately prepared and fresh. Each dish was executed flawlessly, with attention to detail that truly impressed us. To complement the meal, we enjoyed Old Fashioneds and rosé—both perfectly mixed and served with style. And the desserts? Absolutely divine. The key lime pie was tangy and refreshing, and the brownie was decadent and rich—an ideal sweet finish to a celebratory evening. The service was outstanding—friendly, attentive, and genuinely thoughtful. They made my birthday feel special without being over the top, which I really appreciated. RL Restaurant delivered an experience that was both elevated and heartfelt. It’s rare to find a place that nails both the food and the vibe so perfectly. I’ll definitely be back—and I’ll be recommending it to anyone looking for a standout dining experience in Chicago. Thank you, RL, for making my birthday one to remember!More infoRL RestaurantPrice: Expensive• American• Gold Coast / Streeterville•4.9
