“Absolutely outstanding experience. The food was excellent across the board—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. The service was attentive and professional without feeling rushed, and the drinks were just as impressive as the menu. The atmosphere really sets this place apart: elegant, lively, and paired with a beautiful view of the Chicago River that makes the whole experience feel special. Whether for a date night, celebration, or just a great dinner in the city, RPM Seafood delivers on every level. Highly recommend.”
“Fantastic experience here on Sunday evening. My wife and I came to celebrate her birthday and it did not disappoint. We were happy to sit next to the windows overlooking the river and the lights shimmering on the water were magical. We did the Handcut Filet, which was cooked perfectly med rare to rare and it was flavorful and had minimal seasonings (salt and pepper) with a nice crust. My wife had the Wild Alaskan Halibut with capers in brown butter which was light flaky and moist and tasted wonderful. The sides stole the show. We had the Charcoal Roasted Brussels Sprouts and the Maine Lobster Fried Rice. These were delicious. The rice was light and fluffy and loaded with flavor. Very enjoyable indeed. We topped it off with the Banana Cream Napoleon with Phyllo Pastry and warm salted caramel. Great experience and I highly recommend RPM Seafood.”
“Restaurant week 2026 $30 lunch: One of, if not, THE BEST fish preperstion I have ever had!! Excellent execution of the Branzinno fish, maintining mositure and a deep flavor in the white fish with the skin smoked to a crisp. Tuna tartar on fried rice and the focaccia were great as well. Very bare plates for a prefix menu. Still worth it!”
“Enjoyed a great Chicago Restaurant Week lunch here. Started with the Yellowfin Tuna Crispy Rice with spicy mayo and serrano, which had the perfect balance of heat and crunch. The Simply Grilled Branzino with fire-kissed tomatoes, Amalfi salt, and lemon was light, fresh, and full of bright flavor. Finished with the Dark Chocolate Gelato, rich and smooth without being too heavy. Service was friendly, the pacing was relaxed, and the overall experience felt thoughtful and well executed. I’d definitely come back again.”
