   I loved everything about POTR. Attentive staff, prompt service, and lovely people. Special love for Gustavo and Milinia. Ambiance is family cozy and once the doors open in the spring summer it’s like you’re not even in Chicago. The food is amazing. FYI, the potato rounds aren’t rounds, btw, but are mini triangle bites. The portions are medium to large size and mezze plate actually serves 2-3. You should double up if there’s more than 3.

   Miliana was our awesome waitress. She was attentive, cheerful, and knowledgeable. She pointed out the $6 menu, and we ordered several dishes. The “small pita” filled the plate and filled me! I’d never eaten sharwama and loved it! We will definitely be back.

   Nice ambiance. Great change from fast food. Nice enough for a date but also family friendly. Great all day value menu for a snack.

   Had an amazing dinner with a group of friends last night! They have an awesome $6 deal this February with certain items so we split some of those and bowls off the regular menu. Everything was delicious. We will be back!

   So good, so fresh! Loved it! I had the Athena bowl and husband had the pita roll with toppings. Felt like I was really eating healthy and it was delicious. Will come back in the summer and sit along the river for sure.

    Service was a bit better than the last time we visited. Bar service was great-greeted and served immediately. Table service was good. Lovely server, but our apps and dinner came out all at once so it felt rushed not attentive. The food really is great. I hope they continue improve. It's a great concept and has the vegan options we like so hopefully it will stay and service continues to strengthen.

    Never had been here before and definitely a hidden gem. We sat along the river, had wine while we waited for food. We had fish tacos, falafel, a chicken bowl, and their chips. All sound not too exciting from how I’m describing them, but all dishes were delicious—fresh ingredients, balanced, good portions. Definitely would go back for same food or to try others again! Waitstaff were very attentive.also a great spot to people watch (or dog-watch if you enjoy seeing a few cute pups being walked along the river around an early dinner time!) went with a friend on a whim, and we would both go again.

    It was great to eat with friends while sitting under the stars on a beautiful night on the Chicago River. The food was healthy and unusual which was a definite plus. The prices were unbelievably reasonable. The only thing that might stop you -- choices are limited.

    We were very late for our reservation because we got lost looking for our parking garage on Lower Wacker drive. The host was so kind and understanding and we were able to still dine there and had a good time. I definitely recommend them. The river view was perfect

    Food is consistently good. Enjoy the healthy options. Really appreciate the ability to reserve outdoor dining in this Covid era! Most restaurants do not provide this choice which is really not a choice when you are immunocompromised. Last but not least… the wait staff are aleays pleasant and appropriately attentive.
