RPM Seafood Chicago Reviews
Excellent Large Group Dinner
We had a large group in a private room at RPM. Service was very good, and the food was terrific. Both the steak and the halibut were truly first rate.
Good but not great
Great location along the Chicago River in River North. Trendy, young vibe with glass doors opening out to the water. Definitely make a reservation as we did for our anniversary. It was a nice touch that RPM had our menus printed with our names. They
Four of us ate dinner here last Friday night.
The place was packed. I ordered the fish and chips - thought they had to be special for $51. Unfortunately, they were anything but special. The fish was bland and didn't have much flavor. The chips were light and crispy. I enjoyed them. I expec
Highly recommend this place if you're looking for dinner
Highly recommend this place if you're looking for dinner with a view. The river view is amazing, ask for a patio table! The heaters on each side of the table are enough to keep you warm. The service and the food are also top notch. Our server w
Overall experience was just ok.
It looked like I didn't need a reservation on a Tuesday night, so I didn't make one. We got there around 8 and were told we could sit at the bar, where there weren't enough seats or on the patio, so we chose the patio. There aren'
Lovely view of the downtown for lunch.
Service was good, attentive. Food delivery was a bit slow but not unexpected since we all sat down around the same time, right after opening. They have a nice price fixe lunch menu. Miso black cod was the table favorite. Wall of windows open to the

I had a 5 star experience at what may not be a 5 star restaurant! But let me share my great experience! It was just (with heaters) warm enough to sit outside (5:30 PM) overlooking the Chicago River skyline at dusk which was endlessly beautiful and i
Food was great, service too.
I was there for a pharmaceutical company sponsored event and purchased drinks on my personal card. My card was charged more than authorized. Not by much but not what I signed for. I will always round to a $10 (subtotal $7.25 will just sign $10 as to
We went on a Sunday evening and the place was packed.
However, I think it was because the weather was so nice. The view from the patio was amazing, overlooking the river walk. The ambiance was relaxing and put you in that beautiful mood. The service was stellar our hostess was super attentive and so nic

Loved RPM.
First time visitor and I was celebrating my birthday! Everything was great! Amazing food, great service and a great date night.
Wouldn't recommend at all.
views and the drinks were good but the food was terrible. Steak couldn't be cut into it was so raw and everything else extremely fishy. Service also very bad. Went for a special occasion and really wanted to like it but could not recommend it le
Enjoyable restaurant.
The people are incredibly nice and attentive to the diners. The ambience is wonderful, especially if the weather allows for outdoor dining. There are two issues with the menu that resulted in my not giving the restaurant five stars. The first is the
Could have been better
Great locations, great views, friendly service; but here is where it ends. The food just ok; portion sizes are small. The value just isn’t here. We were also disappointed in the cocktails as they were small and somewhat watered down. Try it you

Came to RPM Seafood for a lunch sponsored by JP Morgan and had a fantastic experience. The food was served family style, and while everything was solid -- the chicken, corn, and pasta -- the standout was hands-down the miso black cod. I couldn't
First time at RPM.
Started off with scallops ceviche and chips. Delicious ceviche, chips okay. They weren't the freshest for being made in-house. I ordered a Verdant Vices cocktail-excellent. My husband had a Crystal Paloma which he enjoyed. Mushroom side

The restaurant is beautiful when you walk in.
Nice big windows to show the views of the river, decorated with greenery on the interior, and a very clean table presentation. We came here to celebrate for no reason lol I'm glad we did. The food was amazing. The flaky, buttery, warm crust that
Stunning views, otherwise fine
Sitting outdoors at this restaurant on a gorgeous Saturday evening was a treat. The boat traffic below is constant and fun to watch, and the tall buildings are quite a sight. But getting to the rest of it - service was friendly but I guess I’ll ch
What? No Branzino or Dover Sole?
As a dedicated member of the more fish/less meat culinary club, I was anxious to visit RPM Seafood. Located at 317 North Clark Street, in Chicago's bustling River North neighborhood, on the north bank of the Chicago River, in the shadow of the M
Beautiful restaurant but food not up to expectations
Beautiful restaurant on the Chicago river, great service but food ok, not great for quite an expensive restaurant. Expected better flavor and better quality. Even sushi was not that great.
Excellent view, excellent food
Everything incredible. Nice atmosphere to be with friends. Cesar salad delicious. Spicy ebi shrimp delicious. Hamachi, wow. And please, order the white bread with salt butter, so simple yet so delicious. Sorry, no photos, we ate too fast!
Quality seafood experience
Our first time in Chicago, we booked this restaurant whilst on a river boat trip the same day. The water front property looked nice even when closed earlier in the day. The dining experience by the river, the food and service was first class. The res
Overpriced, bad service and terrible ambiance
We did the thanksgiving dinner and it wasn’t good at all, certainly not worth the price. The buffet had limited options and they were generic, felt more like a hometown buffet. Service was slow and it felt rushed. The place was packed and it felt c
Great experience
Food was good. Rpm booked me for the wrong date BUT accommodated to my own private room. I loved the private like bar area scenery seating better. Great place with a nice river scenery
Awful service and food
One of the worst experiences and meals. The staff was rude from entering at the hostess stand, waiter, etc. barely making eye contact, no smiles, just pushing you through fast. Cocktails were bad, waiter dropped menus, asked for orders, no warmth or

Girlfriend took me here for my birthday and it was a great experience. I ordered Pacific cod and it was cooked to perfection. My girlfriend had the same and said it tasted good with some delicious white wine. We also found the views from the dining
Everything about this restaurant is top notch.
Our server provided honest feedback and great recommendations. The food was excellent.
Unfortunately RPM Seafood did not meet expectations.
For $40-$50 entrees you expect flavor and presentation. They failed to deliver. When we questioned the taste they said they make their risotto runny and it tastes how it should, which was very bland. Having ate here before and other RPMs I wonder
My oh my, RPM's reputation proceeds itself.
We celebrated my grandmothers 90th birthday here on Easter Sunday and our experience was fantastic, huge shoutout to the friendly waitstaff-- and our server Patrick. You made the experience memorable for us! The food was incredible. There was no bad

What a space. It's off to the side, secluded, intimate, and semi private. Isabella was absolutely amazing. Her extensive wine knowledge and pairings were spot on. The food was fantastic. Started off with a seafood caviar bite in the kitchen served in

RPM is amazing - great food and vibes right on the river in downtown Chicago. I would recommend going here with visitors if you are staying downtown. The surf and turf is great and the staff is very friendly and professional.
A good place for seafood in the city.
Had the ceviche to start, along with a crab cake. The ceviche was especially delicious and fresh. Husband and I split the mixed seafood grill, with a side of broccoli. Probably could have used another side, but it was nice to not be stuffed. The gela

So first: you can't reserve for more than 8 online. You have to call events for more than 8. I had 10 guests. So i reserve it online for 8, just to save the space. I call like two days before the reservation to try to reserve for 10. and I had to lea

Food was wonderful.
Service was a little slow for a restaurant of this caliber. Disappointed by the rolls, especially for $16. The octopus and banana cream napoleon (not pictured) are not to be missed.
Food sucks. Never again
Location is great downtown Chicago Drinks are great. Staff are trying Poor management food sucks never again not recommend
Disappointing
Sadly the food didn’t compare with the atmosphere. Sent the scallops back once but should’ve sent them back twice. No colour on them at all even after asking the waiter to have them refried. Portions of all food was small. Was upsold on grated b
Incredibly fast and good
The food was extremely good, the service was impeccable, the waitress was checking on us the whole time and the speed when it came to the food was astonishing (never before I had experienced this kind of speed). I would certainly go back.
Really very good food and cocktails
We did not have a reservation so walked in and got 2 seats at the bar - often sitting at the bar you get the best service and that was the case here. We had a couple of excellent cocktails, my wife is particular, and they made hers to perfection. T
Connect with users posting reservations for RPM Seafood Chicago
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with RPM Seafood Chicago. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to RPM Seafood Chicago at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the RPM Seafood Chicago page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* DistinguishedTree58, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* DistinguishedTree58 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to DistinguishedTree58 for any questions Peter may have as DistinguishedTree58 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* DistinguishedTree58 now uses their connections at RPM Seafood Chicago to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If DistinguishedTree58 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, DistinguishedTree58 receives the $200 reward which is credited to DistinguishedTree58's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at RPM Seafood Chicago!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
