Restaurants near Loyola University Museum of Art

Our waiting staff of Saad and Jaime were outstanding. Loved the service as much as the food. Many restaurants forgo service but this was not the case. Cannot wait till we return

Excellent Valentine experience, excellent service by all staff who were very friendly from reception throughout to waiter service. The valentine package was special and personal great idea by Nomi. Amazing views and seating. Will definitely be back on my next visit to Chicago. Thanks Nomi Clive & Alena

My husband and I have come here a few times in the past 5 years for special occasions. This time it was to celebrate our 33rd Valentine's Day together. The service, the food, the and ambiance never disappoints. It's always consistent -- fresh ingredients, delicious, beautiful presentation and the staff is always attentive. I was born in Indonesia and this place always reminds me of home -- sitting in the veranda in the summer time surrounded by lush greens and spending a leisurely time with friends and family. Highly recommended!

Our server, Sarah T, was super helpful in regards to recommendations. My girlfriend & I arrived for our 7:45pm reservation and were sat immediately, which was nice. Our server gave us recommendations upon request, which turned out great. She recommended a certain bottle of wine, which turned out to be some of the best wine we’ve had - and may be our new favorite wine. My Striped Sea Bass was phenomenal, and my girlfriends pasta (cannot remember the name, but something ‘A La Grappa’) was exquisite as well. We had multiple different people come to check up on us, and we never had to worry about refilling our own wine & water. Super attentive and friendly staff. The atmosphere was perfect for Valentines Day celebrations, as it was close in proximity, dim, and had an intimate feeling. Will 10000% be back, and it will be a challenge to try something new on the menu due to how much I loved the exact order that I got.

What a treat to rediscover RL after moving from Chicago a few years ago! On a bitter cold and snowy day, we decided on a last minute late lunch and had a marvelous meal. Our server, Amanda was outstanding, personable and enthusiastically answered my husband's questions about the walleye, which he throughly enjoyed. It was light and flavorful and deemed as good as (though he meant better) than the shore lunches he had while fishing in Canada. I enjoyed the off the menu special crab cake that was sumptuous and delicious to the last bite....better than the ordinary restaurant fare. Though we usually like to read the dessert menu and then pass so we can smugly congratulate ourselves on our willpower, we gave in this day when Amanda told us about the peanut butter cheesecake-like texture presented as a small cake shape and drizzled with chocolate. Boy if there was ever a time to deviate from our cautious approach to desserts, this was it! This was how do they describe it, "smack your mama good?" That was it. So good we talked about it on our way back home to Michigan...the entire visit this time renewed our love for Chicago and the little moments like this that mean so much. A great way to spend some time during a classic urban winter snow storm. Thank you Amanda and the talented RL chef!
