Amazing food! We had reservations for 4 and arrived a couple minutes early. We were seated within 5 minutes. Our server was very attentive. We ordered COCCOLI as an antipasti per server recommendation. It did not disappoint us. Very light airy crispy dough with perfect combination of prosciutto, stracchino cheese and truffle honey. I had the Gnocchi as entree and was beyond pleased with my choice. My husband had the Spaghetti which had tons of lump crab and perfect sauce to pair with it. Our daughter had the Brick Chicken and was pleased with flavor and was a generous portion. And our friend had the fresh made Rigatoni which was paired wonderfully with a vodka sauce. As a dessert we split a bread pudding (our family has to try the bread pudding g whenever on a menu). We all agreed that is in the top 2 of our favorite bread puddings. I had the Super Tuscan wine (very smooth and delightful) and an espresso martini which was a bit sweeter than I prefer but still delicious nonetheless. My husband had the No. 3 Martini which he loved (very Olivey for me though, but I don’t like olives ha!). Will definitely be back here next time in town!

We came here with a work group, in town for a conference. Three dots, and a dash was the perfect place to let loose. We enjoyed the fun whimsical drinks, and the atmosphere! Our server was wonderful! And we will definitely be back!

My husband and I enjoyed an amazing Thanksgiving dinner yesterday at RPM Steak. The entire experience was top notch. From the ambiance to the service to the cocktails and wine to the delicious food to the meticulous timing and orchestration, we could not have been more impressed. And unlike last year at Prime & Provisions (excellent food and service as well), we were not limited to a rushed 90 minute seating. To the contrary, everything was leisurely, calming, and paced to our liking and comfort. Now on to the food. We both started with the harvest salad, which was tasty, zesty, and refreshing. Followed by possibly the best lobster bisque soup either of us have ever had. For our entrees, my husband had the halibut and I had the turkey (roasted white meat, fried dark meat). Both were superb. High quality ingredients and skillful preparation. The meal also included three sides. The mashed potatoes and bread stuffing were outstanding, the green bean casserole was just okay. Perhaps for future Thanksgiving meals, they may want to offer patrons a selection of five or six sides, for which each table selects three. For our desserts, my husband had the carrot cake and I had the pecan pie (or rather, we shared both). Oh my. Talk about yummy and delectable! Chicago would be well-served if RPM Steak opened a bakery next door. All and all, our first visit to RPM Steak was exceptional and memorable. All the more to be thankful for on Thanksging day.

We had a great time. The food was delicious and service was impeccable. A special thanks to Zia.

First visit since the place was converted from Ben Pao.. Beautiful feel (reminiscent of our beloved LEYE "Avanzare" restaurant). The music level was, in our opinion, too loud to maintain a pleasant conversation. It id not seem to affect other diners. Your Italian wines list is superb. We tried a bottle from Sicily (on our own but with approval from your in house sommelier).
