Best Restaurants with a Vibrant Bar Scene in River West

It was a great experience. Food is fabulous, and service great.

Favorite restaurant among the thousands in Chicago - outstanding food, ambience, beautiful view of the river running through the downtown, and superb waitstaff with an especially big shoutout to the very attentive Yasori(?).

We came over to check in about 15 mins before our reservations and we were seared immediately. Everyone was so friendly and polite. The place was decorated beautifully. We love the fairies that come around to the table no matter how old you are. They were so sweet and make the experience even more enjoyable. Our waiter was wonderful so attentive, never having to look for him, always refilling our glasses and providing prompt and friendly service. Food came out quick and was very good. We never felt rushed. We were able to go by the tree and take pictures. It was just a fabulous time. We had our first experience there last year and now we’ve made this an annual tradition. We look forward to many more years to come.

Gibson’s always delivers. No matter the occasion. Festive, attentive service, food is delish. It’s our favorite— perfect family outing for the holidays!

Loved this restaurant. Food is delicious and good size portions. Wait staff friendly efficient and not intrusive. Have a Negroni coattail. Best around. Calamari bit salty but good and very generous portion. Very wide menu for all Italian food lovers. We shared entree after large calamari appetizer. Very graciously split dish for us Love the dining experience here.
