Best Seasonal Restaurants in River West

Joe's is an institution. The food is always on point. Steaks cooked to perfection, raw-bar is unmatched and service is stellar. It's our favorite date spot. We really love coming here for lunch too.

A plus customer service… we knocked over a pint of beer. Staff showed up without being called, immediately clean up and provided gave us a replacement pint as well. Staff is knowledgeable on the beer selections and food. This is our 2nd visit and definitely not our last.

Great dinner. The food and wine were sooooooo good and the wine was a great value. We got the artichoke, a zucchini pizza and two pastas. All were unreal. Our server was super attentive and not overbearing. We were originally seated near a door that was drafty and it was a cold night, I said something and we were immediately seated somewhere else that I wasn’t cold. Great service. Great restaurant. Will be back.

I really enjoyed dining at girl & the goat. Their menu selections were spectacular, and they were able to accommodate those with dairy intolerance (which most restaurants are unable to do). Their food selections were great and flavorful, and their staff was friendly. I would definitely recommend the chicken or steak dishes.

Love Boka for a few reasons Food: the best duck in the city and no matter how often we get the duck it feels new and different. Excellent starters and small plates Wine and liquor: a great wine list that has some seriously great finds served with care and a great cocktail list to start or finish your night. Service: consistency is key, we enjoy coming back because there are so many familiar faces which really helps put you at ease with your dinner. The meal is timely and well attended. With a great support staff making sure no need is missed. I don't recall how many times we've been over the years but it always feels special and fresh and fun.
