    Just another unreal experience at RL. The food is reliably exceptional. ambiance is top tier even if not sitting next to the fireplace as we were. The servers are remarkable! Friendly, knowledgeable, personable but not overbearing. I don’t write reviews and hate making RL even more difficult to get in to, but it is deserved.

    I was so happy we were able to get in last minute. We looked at reservations for tonight around 11 am, the only thing available was 9:15. Maybe 45 minutes later a 6:45 pops up and we were able to snag it. We had the short rib humus, whipped feta, hamachi, pork belly, steak & frites, fried halloumi and two kabobs. Perfect for all 4 of us hungry eaters. 100% will be back- if you can get in I highly recommend trying anything and everything on the menu. Service was impeccable. Food was courses perfectly and everything came out hot right out of the oven. If you have been to Bavel in LA you will love this “sister” in Chicago
