Best Restaurants with a Scenic View in River North (Chicago)

Place was good, service very professional, attentive, friendly, food was excellent.

We were seated quickly as we had reservations. Farther from the beautiful tree, but we could see some of it. Our meals were delicious! We had the Lobster Biisque soup, Cranberry Citrus Chicken Salad Croissant, and Lobster Ravoli. Everything was scrumptious! Our server, Yolanda, was very attentive. Offered a few selections and brought us drinks. Online reservations were a bit challenging as time slots only opened up the day before our scheduled arrival. Overall, our experience at The Walnut Room was delightful!

This spot is amazing always consistent with food and service! Our server Adam was absolutely wonderful and I hope to get him again in the future!

The dinner was amazing, staff was friendly and very attentive. Wine list/ cocktails are superb! This is a steakhouse and the steaks ordered at our table reflected why this is such a popular restaurant!! Our appetizers, salads and soups delicious, too. My only suggestion to management is improvement of seafood entrees. My salmon was “just ok,” and I immediately regretted not ordering steak with the price of entrees. ( To be fair, my husband told me to never order seafood at a steak restaurant, and I will not in the future:). Great place for a special occasion and we love to visit while visiting Chicago!

Great location and environment. Less stuffy than some Chicago steakhouses. Nothing really all that different on the menu, but everything was done really well. Might be the best steak I’ve ever had. Beet salad: Amazing. Bacon: Incredible. Sides: All exceptional. Didn’t leave room for dessert, maybe subconsciously to give us a reason to return.
