Had a wonderful time here for my sister’s wedding reception! Beautiful views and kind staff🙂
Celebrated our son's birthday on the river with you all Friday night. Top shelf experience! The food, the service, the setting......amazing all around. Thank you for a wonderful evening. We have a new place to celebrate family milestones.
Overall, the drinks (when we finally got them) and food was delicious.
Unfortunately, our waiter forgot to put in our drink order and we waited for about twenty minutes before asking again…
The food was delicious and prompt.
We did end up ordering another round of drinks but after waiting quite a while again, decided to cancel them and just leave.

River Roast is a restaurant known for its quiet and enjoyable atmosphere, with occasional music from nearby boats. It offers stunning views of the river, providing a relaxing dining experience. The menu features a variety of dishes, including the praised mussels, beet salad, and the highly-rated brunch menu. The roasted chicken is a standout dish, with diners also enjoying the octopus and salmon. While the lamb roast and pork belly dishes received mixed reviews, the overall food quality remains impressive. The historic Reid-Murdoch building setting is appreciated by many diners. The restaurant has received positive feedback for its service, with staff being described as friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable, although there have been some concerns about slower service during busy times. Many guests enjoy dining outside on the back deck, especially on nice days, with beautiful views of the Chicago river front on a fall day. The food is often praised, such as the steak and fries, rolls, and the chicken sandwich, though some dishes like the Caesar salad may be overly salty. The restaurant is a great place if visitors are not in a hurry, as it offers a warm and inviting environment with good food, atmosphere, and service that many guests look forward to returning to.
