Located directly above Pizzeria Portofino, Lettuce Entertain You's ultra-popular RPM Seafood offers fresh fix, stiff cocktails and unrivaled views of the Chicago River.
The vibe: Take in views of the Chicago River from the terrace or through one of the restaurant’s floor-to-ceiling windows while you dine on bone-in swordfish ribeye or charcoal-grilled black bass at the seafood king of the RPM restaurant empire.
The food: Start your meal in spectacular fashion by ordering a seafood tower featuring prawns, Maine lobster, Alaskan king crab legs and East and West Coast oysters.
The drinks: The drink menu emphasizes tequila and mezcal cocktails but also offers plenty of bubbly by the glass if it's a festive occasion.
Time Out tip: If the weather permits, you'll want to reserve a seat on the outdoor patio. The views of the river from the prime location between the Clark and Dearborn bridges are unmatched.
