The Kitchen

Great place! When making the reservation indicated it was our anniversary and from the time we walked in they recognized our special occasion by giving us a signed card by the staff and starting us with a complimentary glass of sparkling wine. Food and service were outstanding and I especially appreciated the red wine by the glass being served at the right temperature.

This is the place to go for tasty sharables and a view of the river. Fantastic service. Meatballs have a tasty kick, grits are creamy, lettuce wrapped fish tacos tangy and spicy. All good.

We ate a late dinner here. We shared small plates. It was all delicious. The food is very good and the location is lovely on the Chicago River. It was leisurely. We walked around the river area after dinner and there was lots of activity. The weather was gorgeous and people were definitely enjoying it. I suggest making a reservation here. Even then, we waited to be seated. Service was very friendly. Drinks and dessert also very tasty. We sat inside, but there is also outdoor seating available.

Had Sunday brunch here. Great restaurant right on the Chicago River. Sat outside and enjoyed the sights and sounds of the city and river. Food was very good here. I ate off their brunch menu and the shrimp and grits with poached egg was super tasty. Highly recommended.

Food, service and location are all excellent. The best compliments that I could pay is that my kids were happy that they ventured outside of there comfort zone and stated how good the food was.

This is my first time visiting this resto. Tried the mussels and the ribeye steak for the mains. Loved it!

Ate here for lunch. Great service but the food was meh especially for the prices. Peri-Peri chicken was decent but not as good as Nando's.

We unknowingly made reservations at the Kitchen at their daily opening time. It was a very cold day and we arrived around 10 minutes early. After trying the door (whch was locked), the hostess saw us and ran to the door and opened it so we wouldn't freeze. They weren't quite ready to open but showed us to our table anyway. The menu was somewhat unique and the food was excellent. Our server was consistently attentive and very helpful in making our selections. Although a little off the beaten path, it's worth a visit.

Great food and friendly staff. We ate at the bar and enjoyed the friendly but not intrusive bar tender. Great guy. Would eat here again anytime.

Nice place to dine when you want a great view of the city and the river. Food was good except the prices were a bit steep. I had the mussels which was very good and a side of garlic fries, which was amazing!

Large open space restaurant with modern feel, but not much atmosphere. Friendly staff and helpful. The menu was limited, but interesting choices, good wine selection. Food was average and two of us had the vegetable curry and it was a large bowl filled mostly with very al dente and halved Brussels sprouts, not very tasty. The salmon was better. Pricey for what we had.

Wow! I loved the ambiance, the food, the drinks (I had the bottomless mimosa - which really is bottomless with refills and well-worth the price if you plan on drinking at least two. We all ordered the Farmers Breakfast (basically eggs, toast, meat, potatoes). Everyone was pleased, They were out of the Bavarian waffles - next time. Price point was reasonable for downtown Chicago. Service was very good and friendly.

Excellent atmosphere, very professional service, great dinner experience. The cocktails are unique yet classic, and very good. The steak was prepared very well and did Chicago proud. Prices are reasonable given the type of food and the location (but not cheap). Appetizer portions are small. Sides are a la carte.

An amazing brunch experience. The mushroom toast was a delight. Prices were very reasonable.

A light lunch yesterday and a full dinner tonight. We enjoyed the cuisine on both occasions. Reasonable portions and very friendly and polished service. The balcony views are super nice.
