Best Live Music Restaurants in River North (Chicago)

We got the last 2 seats at the bar - last minute - and had a wonderful time. Full jazz ensemble, right volume, delicious food and the bar tender was awesome. We will be back!

What a true and absolute delight! My daughters and I loved La Grande Boucherie! It was one of the highlights of our recent Chicago visit. The food was wonderful, as were the wine selections (and mocktails!) and the beautiful holiday decor. We had oysters, the fromage board, a beautiful salmon, French Onion soup, salads and more. I had a lovely Sancerre, and we topped everything off with profiteroles. But the best part of the experience was the impeccable service. From the moment we left our coats at the front hosted stand to the last moments after dessert and a quick personal tour of the gorgeous second level, we were enchanted. A special thank you to Rachid from Paris for his terrific recommendations, allowing us to practice French and being a bright spot of our entire trip. Attentive, funny, kind! A server can make or break a restaurant experience, and in this case, the service shined bright! We would love to come back when we’re in the city again! Highly enjoyed!

I always have such a great experience when dining at maestro’s. The food is impeccable , it’s always so good. The customer service is beyond amazing . We had 3 waiters bringing and serving our sides , we didn’t have to fix our plates at all. The ambiance and aesthetics is just as great. The singer sang us soft beautiful music, while we ate and enjoyed our meal in a dimly lilt environment. My husband and I always enjoy ourselves immensely….. Keep doing a great job and I will continue coming back… if you haven’t been there please go , you will enjoy it all

Ummo is always a wonderful place to spend a couple of hours and enjoy high quality food. Ingredients and their provenance are a plus in this restaurant. Staff is not always in line to the expectations - need more professionalism and probably additional training

This place was great! The location is right off the river and has a nice outdoor seating area. Our party was visiting for a business training and we wanted to a spot that really highlighted the city. Not only was the location perfect for sightseeing in the city, the setting by the river made it an ideal place to spend time with friends, and the food was delicious! Additionally, the service was excellent and the servers were very helpful and made the experience really enjoyable. We were talking about and recommending River Roast throughout the business trip, and it was mainly because we were so impressed by the service.
