    Maybe chef was just tired but the truffle chicken was way over cooked. Unfortunately made for a long night of stomach issues the rest of the night. Great service and ambience.

    The service was incredibly slow, even though the restaurant wasn’t full. It took an hour to receive our appetizers, and then we had to wait another hour and 30 minutes to order our main course. After giving our server our appetizers, we had to call down our server to order our food.

    I live in Washington DC and the experience here in Chicago at this RPM is just as good as the one in DC. We also went to RPM Seafood.

    ALL food came out lukewarm, nothing was hot. Waiter informed us the Shrimp Diablo had a slight kick but was extremely spicy.

    Came for a birthday dinner with friends and will definitely be back. Jessica, our server was so sweet and attentive and offered multiple gluten free options for the guests that needed it. She even brought out gluten free sorbet with the birthday dessert. Food was outstanding and drinks to die for. Loved it and thank you for helping make a birthday dinner so very lovely!

    I’ve been here a few times and it never disappoints. They changed the steak tartare and now it’s the best I’ve ever had. Everything was fantastic and our server Abigail was great!

    We had the best server. Her descriptions of the entrees made your mouth water. The Parmesan veal chop was the most spectacular dish I’ve ever had. Can’t wait for another celebration to revisit.
