Food & Atmosphere Great. Service / Approach should be improved
Great buzzy restaurant. French bistro style atmosphere. Food was very good. Had the Oysters and Skirt steak special with truffle fries. However, was very disappointed that the steak came out 20 minutes after my oysters while in hadnโt finished them (6 oysters). I was enjoying them with a glass of white one when the steak arrived at the table. Would have thought the server would have realised he was too early but instead asked me to move my phone so he can place the food down. While the food was very good, for the sense of being rushed out to turn over the table. Not what you expect in an expensive eatery.
Be the first to ReplyBetter than Great-Superb
RL Restaurant is better than great, it is SUPERB! There are not enough adjectives to describe how great our dining experience was. The food was excellent and large portions. Five (5) large shrimp were served in the Shrimp Cocktail. My wifeโs escargot was excellent and the lobster roll was excellent. Save room for one of the multiple desserts-we had the coconut cake. The service was beyond outstanding. Donโt go if you are in a rushโsit back, have a great conversation and enjoy a great meal and a wonderful dining experience.

Who would have thought Ralph Lauren would have such great food, drinks and ambiance, but it was excellent, including the service!
Be the first to ReplyGreat vibe and food
I have been here couple times and always love the warm atmosphere. We had lobster roll and RL burger for the weekend brunch and both were tasty. The drinks were pretty good as well. Itโs always a nice spot for brunch or dinner in this neighborhood
Be the first to ReplyThe worst chicken sandwich in Chicago
The worst $25 chicken sandwich youโll ever have. The fries were so oily and looked like they had been cooked the night before. I had the worst stomach ache an hour later as a result. The service was average: we had to remind the server to bring out our desert. Never going back.
Be the first to ReplyREALLY RL!
Luxury dining with abundant energy, great service (despite being crazy busy) and superb food. This is a very appealing grand old style dining establishment that speaks of elegance, attention to style, and a fine dining experience. I was a bit surprised how "casual" it seemed given upper end price point; I guess T-shirts are always "in" for some...
Be the first to ReplyLying, pathetic employees
The lying, unintelligent host and manager at RL cannot keep up with their own incompetence and dissembling. Just tried to walk in for a quick drink - they have removed half the bar stools and half the bar tables and put them inside the retail store (on SATURDAY NIGHT at 8pm). They claim that they are fully staffed but cannot keep up with the orders, and it will be ยฝ hour, minimum, to get a glass of wine. BS. This place is a dump and has completely collapsed. It used to be a great neighborhoody place: visitors, businesspeople, locals. There are still two or three of the original staff who know how it's supposed to run. But basically, now it's just pathetic.
Be the first to ReplyOur best meal in Chicago in several years
Perhaps underestimated because of the many trendy (some Michelin-starred) restaurants in Chicago, RL is a steady, solid restaurant with elegant ambience, great service and excellent food. The Monday evening we dined there, the place was packed, with people waiting out side the restaurant for tables. Our waiter was excellent: polite, helpful, patient and efficient. He was there when we needed him, otherwise, he was not. The Escargots were excellent and the seared tuna was perfect! Dover Sole, fileted at the table was perfect and the Veal Milanese was as good as I remembered it from my last one in Milan. A bottle of Plumpjack Chardonnay was the perfect accompaniment to a great meal. This was out third perfect meal at RL and we will be back, as soon as we can.

Classic club type of restaurant with white linens and leather booths. Great artwork, impeccable service, and delicious food. Great place for a really lovely and even special dining experience.
Be the first to ReplySophisticated bar and restaurant is a must
Popped into RL for afternoon cocktails and was able to sit at the bar, which is very small. Fabulous ambiance of the restaurant which epitomizes the Ralph Lauren brand completely- everything is completely elegant. Every space was taken and I would imagine the restaurant is reservations only because itโs so busy. Highly recommend just to experience the atmosphere. The sever ice at the bar was wonderful
Be the first to ReplyAramis is the BEST WAITER!
Aramis proved to be a FANTASTIC waiter when we had two tables of eight women at each for a 60th birthday dinner. He was jovial, attentive, and really knew the menu and what was available at the time. I loved my roast chicken dinner and he made sure I got the last order that night. You're a rock star, Aramis!!!

Dining with kids: I was nervous taking kids to the restaurant as it is nicer and tight quarters. The tables are very close together. However, the atmosphere is very laid back. I know I looked for reviews with kids so I wanted to make I left one. They DO have a kids menu. And The staff was very nice and accommodating. They were great about my stroller, however it was winter and they had no room in the coat closet so I was just kinda left in the breezeway. No one batted an eye at us having kids, though mine are used to dining in nicer restaurants, they werenโt the only kids there and no one seemed bothered or annoyed by their presence. Food: The food was amazing. I got the recommended burger and you figure a burger is a burger but it was truly delicious. As a family we shared the lobster rolls and they were divine! The food was so so good! Highly recommend.

We were looking for something special in Chicago and, boy, did we find it! The meal was outstanding, the atmosphere terrific, the staff professional. Have the scallops. They are the best ever. Great drinks too. An absolute must!
Be the first to ReplyA worthwhile stop while in Chicagoโฆ wonโt disappoint!
Enjoyed lunch here during a long weekend trip to Chicago. Lovely setting on the patio. We loved the privacy created by the boxwoods and umbrella-covered cozy tables outside. If the weather is enjoyable out, Iโd recommend a seat on the patio. Great waitstaff, wry professional and knowledgeable. Wonderful cocktail menu. The Dover sole was just impeccable. Only recommendation is that you may wish to split and entreeโ with your spouse, as the portions were large. Pricey, but definitely worth it. Will be jack again on our next visit. Highly recommended.
Be the first to ReplyGood Food, horrible seating
Food and service was very good but the table they gave us was very cramped for 4 people. We spent $270 for good food on a horrible table inside the restaurant. We think the tables were too close to each other and our table did not even have right leg space or sitting comfort. They did not change our table even on our requests. We waited for another table but they offered us the same table even after waiting for 10 minutes. Not good!! Seeing our cramped table and uncomfortable postures, 2 ladies on our next table changed their seating positions, removed 1 chair to create some specs for us but the restaurant staff did not help us with that. Thanks Ladies!

$40 for 3 mini buttered white bread rolls filled with average lobster, wines are overpriced. nice area of sidewalk tables, very cramped bar area full of noxious sexist white guys.
Be the first to ReplyGreat service, great food and excellent ambiance
We followed the recommendations from the TripAdvisor reviews and were far from disappointed. We ordered the lobster mini-rolls, the lobster bisque, the baked Camembert and the pigs blanket with wagu beef . Special thanks to Aracely for the fantastic service.

We've dined many times at New York's The Polo Bar and a couple times at the defunct Ralph's Coffee and Bar in London (Ralph's in Paris is next on the list). This was our first visit to RL in Chicago. It's clear where the recipe for success was born. Exquisite food. Superb service. Intimate yet lively ambience that feels both exclusive and welcoming. The vespers are killers! Loved them. Lobster bisque second to none. The ribeye was grilled perfectly. Don't miss the coconut cake!! We loved dinner so much, a couple days later we returned for Sunday brunch. Crab cake benedict. Amazing French toast. Ask for rose royale (with pamplemousse). The perfect brunch cocktail. The service is what you'll notice the most. From the hosting desk to the servers ... friendly and professional insisting on creating the most memorable experience for their guests. We loved it. It's a big reason to plan a return visit to the great city. Thank you, RL.

It's a must, its upscale, elegant, quiet and a very nice crowd. I believe the other location is in Paris, I have been to RL for dinner for my cousins graduation and again for a wedding. Loved it.

Be the first to ReplyAmazing lunch spot
One of our favorite stops for lunch in Chicago. We always try and sit in the bar side. Was a rainy cold day so perfect for soup which they have some of the best. Lobster bisque is excellent. Also enjoyed the pigs and a blanket and baked cheese with some wine.
Be the first to ReplyGet.The.LobsterRoll
I am a terrible snob when it comes to lobster rolls. Yet I canโt resist ordering one since I have not been to Maine in, you guessed it, two years.
This one was absolutely magnificent! Truly delicious! Good thing as it was $36 dollars.
Terrific service by clear professionals in a clubby place with a particularly fun photo in the womenโs restroom.
Great Restaurant
Amazing location right off of Michigan Ave. Service here is always excellent and the food is mouthwatering. It is a smaller restaurant with dim lighting but other than that, it's an excellent restaurant to visit when in Chicago.
Be the first to ReplyBest way to celebrate old and new year!
Perfect in every single wayJoseph was friendly, efficient, professional and cool throughout! Though the table next to us turned over 2+ times, we felt welcome and unhurried (we ordered enough to justify it, but not one bit of pressure!)It all reminded us of why we come to RL again and again to celebrate New Yearโs - a quality, posh and FUN experience - We will be back again. Soon. Happy 2022!!
