Restaurant Reviews for RL Restaurant

RL Restaurant

115 E Chicago Ave
Chicago, IL 60611

A warm, rich interior featuring Mahogany paneling & Persian rugs, RL Restaurant houses an art collection that reflects & represents a lifestyle vision of quality, integrity & timelessness - the design & cultural aesthetic of Polo Ralph Lauren. The menu is written daily with core items, some prepared tableside, which reflect the Ralph Lauren "aspirational lifestyle." The food is not based on how exotic the chef can appear with his creativity, but on how finely tuned & balanced are his compositions -- renditions of ideas that have a history on the American Table. ****Please note that reservations are for dining room only. Bar and Patio are first come first serve.******

Dining Style: Fine Dining
Price: $31 to $50

Overall Rating 5.0 out of 5 (Outstanding)
"Everytime a friend comes to town and we meet for dinner I always find myself at RL. The service and wait staff are exceptional. And the Food, just wonderful. The steaks are amazing, but I found the portion to be too big. What I would suggest is the Lamb, the best I have ever had. But again the combination of the food and staff is what makes this place so nice. The staff is more then generous with their time."

"I tried the cobb salad. It was good--not exceptional. The set up was nice, and the theme fit perfectly. My only vice was that the seating was close together and I could hear the conversation from the Russian couple next to us. Overall, not a bad experience. The price per plate was worth the exceptional service, good food, and friendly environment."

Overall Rating 5.0 out of 5 (Outstanding)
"We went for an anniversary dinner. As always, the food and service were wonderful. The Dover sole is perfect. The escargot are among the best in town. There was a short wait for our table, but the hostess was great about keeping us informed. The wait staff is warm and attentive. I love the ambiance there, but it is always bustling....probably not a great choice if you are looking for a quiet evening. That shouldn't be taken as a criticism though. We had a great evening."

"This is the perfect place to go when an out-of-town friend comes to Chicago. Great good, great atmosphere and you even see celebrities there. Well, maybe not A-List, but I've seen Jerry Seinfeld's wife there and Farnsworth (that guy that carries Sean Combs' umbrella) too. I love the skirt steak and desserts."

Review 12 for RL Restaurant

Overall Rating 4.0 out of 5 (Very Good)
"We took friends for Valentine's Day weekend for dessert since we had a previous experience that was outstanding. When we requested a dessert menu, the flatbread that was in the basket was quickly removed from the table. Dessert was fantastic (we had the creme brulee and friends had banana splits). Wen I ordered a Vox on the rocks with a lime twist I was actually brought Belvedere. This may seem like a minor complaint, but if I order a particular vodka I expect to get that not have another one substituted without notice. Service was prompt and cordial. It was a nice experience, but not on par with our first visit to RL."

"I have been to RL on several ocassions and enjoy myself each time. The food is generally good not spectacular thought. The look of the resturant is one of the reasons I like to go there. When the resturant is full and it was for Valentines Day brunch the noise level becomes quite high and it is difficult to have a conversation. Nevertheless, I enjoy this resturant and will go again."

Overall Rating 2.0 out of 5 (Fair)
"Our wine stand taken away and our wine bucket placed ON top of our table with no explanation. Did someone more important need the wine stand? Our brunch entrees, which included eggs that get cold fast, were served when one of the three guests was away from the table. After we finished our entrees, when clearing the plates, the service assistant stacked the dishes ON the table and proceeded to stack other dishes ON top. The service was frankly far more like that which I would expect at a diner, not RL. Service was pretty bad for a restaurant of this caliber. Food, however was pretty tasty and I have always liked the decor. But seriously, train your staff!"

"We are frequent diners at RL and find the food and service consistently good. We arrived about 10 minutes early for our 1 pm reservation and enjoyed a drink in the cozy bar area. Our corner booth table was great for people watching except that I had the view of the kitchen door opening every few seconds. I would not suggest that corner booth table for future dining. My steak salad was incredible and my friend had the chicken hash which she said was delicious but very filling. I would recommend RL for a friends lunch or a business lunch. Excellent."

"Overall, excellent food and a great restaurant experience. Waiters and wine sommelier were just a tiny bit somber/sullen for our group. It would have been more enjoyable if they would have had a bit of fun with us. However, maybe this is the type of restaurant where most people take themselves a bit too seriously.?."

"We arrived early for our reservaton and were accomodated immediately in the bar while waiting. Food and service were respectful, efficient and delicious without pretentiousness. Our server treated us as if this was our own special club, the same as our visit last year, and the year before and the year before. Looking forward to our next visit."

"Always a delightful time, especially on a freezing and windy winter day, a lovely solace because every aspect of the interior decoration exhudes a sort of warm, low glow. This time however, our waiter was a little intrusive and a little too personal, but still took great care of us. Bus and food runner staff amazing! and incredibly attentive."

"I went to RL for the first time with three friends. Even with a reservation, it took about 10 minutes to get a table. I was a little disappointed in the lay-out of the restaurant because all the tables were VERY close to each other. Because people were basically on top of each other, it was pretty hard to talk, since the place was so loud. However, the food was wonderful. Everyone in the group loved their order and I can't wait to go back. I wish they did a little better with the small space, but I'd definitely recommend RL to anyone."

"The food is good but just about everything we tried was very, very rich. I tend to prefer light, fresh meals but if you like rich and hearty this is a great place for you. We had the Baked Cheese, Crab Louie, and the Caramelized Goat Cheese Tart to start and again, they were all extremely rich. I had the dover sole and my friends had the Steak Diane, Veal and the Amish Chicken, all of which were good but we liked the Dover Sole best of all the entrees. Our server seemed to be annoyed that he was working that evening but overall drinks, food, dessert were presented in a timely manner and the ambiance was wonderful."

"The atmosphere is a blast!! Very active. Love the portraits/decorations/banquettes. The food was delicious. The staff is so gracious. Welcomed at the entrance by a wonderfully friendly hostess who makes you feel like they have been waiting just for you to appear! Shown to your table, you are quickly presented with a menu, water, bread - whatever you need. Drinks are very good as is the wine list. Didn't really want to leave. Will return very soon."

"This is our New Years Eve tradition, and looks like our late lunch/early dinner idea to avoid crowds doesnt work any more.It is no longer sparse at this time.
The food is "good",nothing special. Hamburger was the best of the three. Bread over toasted for my Lobster Club. Steak Sandwich was more bread then anything. Waiter not memorable, but adequate and Very rushed. I DONT enjoy all the wait staff running amok everywhere. Its annoying. Glancing around the lovely yet small room, one sees wait staff dashing about everywhere and the ones hovering chatting near our table while we ate took away from this experience. Its hard to ignore the constant coming and going,rushing, bumping about the tables. Something really should be done about this.

"Elegant refinement at its best. Only negative point is the lack of roominess...the dining room is very crowded. Desite that, service is so good that you soon forget the sardine can feeling. Steak Diane and Crepes prepared at table sid with all the drama that includes. Several dishes on the menu are, like the above-mentioned two, are gems of the past that are fun to find still on the menu. Delightful dining experience overall."

"RL is one of our favorite restaurants in the city and we usually go for a special occasion or as a "treat". We went this past Christmas weekend and, as usual, everything was fantastic! We each tried entrees we hadn't had and they were outstanding - the herb crusted lamb chops and the truffle-glazed filet! Also the porchini mushroom soup and lobster bisque were great! Everything from the atmosphere to the service to the food were tops. We always recommend RL to friends and if end up talking to people at a nearby table, recommend foods to try! Thanks for another great meal. See you next time!"

"Chicago is a town known for great steak and chop houses. But RL sits at the top of them all. Their filet mignon served with a red wine reduction is as good as it gets. Coupled with their house wine, a BV cabernet and a side of potatoes Dauphinois dinner will be memorable. Appetizers are classics made with great ingredients. The steamed mussels are particularly good.

The atmosphere is comfortable and relaxed. Welcoming to shoppers as well as special occasion diners.

"We arrived approximately five minutes late due to the snow that had been falling all day. It was not a problem as they sat us immediately (the only empty table in the place!!!) The decor was fabulous - everything I expect from a downtown restaurant. We were approached withing moments of being seated and the service never let up. I'm a little confused as to who our server really was as we had more assistance from the nice young lady who brought us our first cocktails than the white apron-ed gentleman who recommended dishes for us. Everything we ordered was up to my standards - smoked salmon,escargot,bisque(should have ordered a bowl instead of a cup)scallops,brussel sprouts and steak diane-each more delicious than the last."

"This was one of the best meals I have had while dining out in Chicago! It was an excellent blend of ambiance and delicious food. The assortment of appetizers, dinner selections and fantastic dessert menu (short but all worth the tasting--we got several and shared) made it easy to linger on every course. I would highly recommend this restaurant to those who love good food and a dining experience worth repeating!"

"WE ALWAYS ENJOY RL RESTAURANT. ALL 4 OF US ORDERED SOMETHING DIFFERENT AND THOUGHT THEY WERE ALL WONDERFUL AS USUAL. OUR WAITRESS WAS OUTSTANDING AND ALSO 7 OR 8 MONTHS PREGNANT. SHE OFFERED THE LADIES BLACK NAPKINS TO PUT ON THEIR LAPS SINCE THEY WERE WEARING BLACK. THAT HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE. SHE WAS VERY ATTENTIVE AS WELL AS THE BUS BOY. WE ALWAYS ENJOY THE BREAD SELECTION. THE ATMOSPHERE IN THE RESTAURANT IS CHARMING AND REGAL. WE NEVER VISIT CHICAGO WITHOUT DINING AT RL."

Overall Rating 4.0 out of 5 (Very Good)
"We stopped by just for drinks the night before our reservation. Great martini & stuffed olives were such a great treat. Scene was typical for RL...everyone in all their RL cloths. Lots of yuppie-types. Just what you'd imagine for a RL magazine. Reservations were for lunch the very next day. We were really hoping to get the table by the fireplace but gave up after 2 bloody marys (which were possibly the best I've ever had) & waiting over an hour. Richie-rich gal hording the table. Instead we sat at a table close by. The staff was really apologetic (but didn't need to be), sat us very close and was really attentive. We had fabo food, couple more drinks and great convo. The only negative is it's such a hot place it was really crowded"

"Love RL's. The ambiance is wonderful, the service always excellent and the food always beautifully prepared and presented. They honored our request for a special table for two and our waiter Eric was not only excellent but engaging and fun to speak with. We live in California but RL's is always on our list to visit when we get to Chicago which is at least once a year. It's a must!"

"My wife and I pleasantly passed waiting time in a very energetic and vibrant bar, tended by master manager, Russell. We were seated within a half hour of our 8:30 reservation, at a table in a high traffic area. Our waiter, Paul, was very professional and very pleasant, as ell. Our food came out in a timely fashion, well prepared. Dessert was gratis from the hostess, as a "thanks" for waiting to be seated. In all, a fine experience!"

"I thought I had found all the neat spots in Chicago until my girlfriend and I booked RL. What a gem!!! The dining room was packed but we never felt hemmed in or ignored. Our waiter was patient because we read everything on the menu before we ordered. The food was delicious, the waitstaff courteous, the ambiance very interesting (the pictures on the walls and the arrangement of other items is very unique). I have already made return reservations to bring my husband over the holidays. Quite a feat since we have to take the train from Tennessee to get there!!!!!"

"I booked our reservation online and received a confirmation number on my reservation.. However when we got to the restaurant I was informed that because I requested to be seated in the bar area I was told it was first come first serve. No where was that mentioned on my reservation confirmation at all. When I tried to let the Hostess know this she was very uninterested. She did say we may be able to have one table but she needed to check if anyone else was waiting for it. When she came back she said yes there was someone but they went shopping. When I said you just told me first come first serve then we should get it and if that is the policy you should not let them go shopping. I said we had a reservation. Again not interested."
