    i know everyone loves this restaurant, and there are many things to love about it... howeever, i had a turkey burger that was a dead ringer for a frozen patty one from Costco with some weird sauce on it... my dining partner had the lobster rolls which were good... but then she had the chocolate thing for desert - maybe it was old but it tasted like a chocolate sponge.. not cake, just the sponge.... not for me...

    We had a lovely window seat in the lounge area of this beautiful restaurant. Food was outstanding and they even made me a dish that I love that is usually only on the lunch menu. Our server was warm, funny and excellent. I have been here many times and will continue to come as often as I can. Thank you RL!

    We had a wonderful lunch at RL in Chicago, yesterday. The service is sometimes more important to us than the food, but RL knocked it out of the park with service AND food. Molly Castellanos, the manager, has trained her staff well, and it shows! We used to live in the city and would go to RL regularly. We now live in the suburbs, but RL makes us want to go to the city more often.
