Such a fantastic experience like always at any of the RPM restaurants. This was our first time at RPM and it was outstanding! Our waitress, Anna, went above & beyond this evening. We were out celebrating my boyfriend’s promotion and she was very sweet is giving us complimentary champagne and cotton candy for dessert. She gave us great recommendations for our meals. The food was absolutely amazing and we will absolutely be back! I can’t recommend this place or any of the RPM restaurants enough.

Joe’s is the premium steak house in Chicago! Service is not matched anywhere! Wine list is excellent and food UNBELIEVABLE! A random observation- the light level is excellent, you can actually see the food and move around the restaurant without fear of breaking your leg! Many other steakhouses are so dark, it’s a drag to see and go to the bathroom! We were delayed a tiny bit by a previous couple, Joe’s gifted us an order of Stone crab, just so thoughtful! I have been a fan of Joe’s since it first open in Chicago. Still the Best Steak/Wine list/Dessert/SERVICE IN TOWN ! NOT SUPER LOUD.

First time going for my birthday and they didn’t disappoint! Food was delicious. Truffle Baked Mac n Cheese was the best I’ve ever had. Service was good, never had to ask the waiter for anything. I definitely recommend this place if you’re looking for something more business casual.
