We chose to dine at Roanoke before an event at Symphony Center. It was a little bit of a walk from Grant Parking (especially in the brutal heat), but it was worth the effort. We were seated right away and staff brought us cold water. The restaurant was busy, but I would guess that had a lot to do with its location in the Loop. The atmosphere was very lively and groups of people were enjoying happy hour. This made it difficult for restaurant staff to move around. One large table in our area was very loud and it kind of distracted us from our meal. The food was very good, although their ranch dressing was "okay." Good portions and the entrees were delicious and hot.

We ended up here since we had tickets to the ballet and this place was within walking distance. Salmon was severely overcooked, and the other items we ordered nothing to write home about either. Next time I'll take an uber to have a decent meal.

This restaurant delivers on slightly upscale American cuisine. We all enjoyed our dishes. The service however was incredibly slow and considered how few people were there, maybe even negligent. It was fine for dinner with an out of town friend but far from a place that stands. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone or go again. In the loop, you can do much better than this.

Roanoke is a staple in the loop. Met some colleagues that I haven’t seen in years for lunch. The food was excellent, service was fantastic, just as I remembered it !
