This place drips with atmosphere. It's massive on the inside and out; but the patio is where it's at. During the summer it is usually has a great breeze for sitting and enjoying the great food!! Love the burgers. Even at winter, the patio is great, they bring out those big heaters to keep you all toasty and light the massive fireplaces. The froo-froo drinks are killer...they do the booze right.

This upscale restaurant has great food, drinks, and eye candy. The canopies on the river in the summer can't be beat, and the crowd is always dressed to kill. If you want to get dressed up and have a chic night out, this is the place to start!

My mom and I ate there together, and we both agreed that it was an awesome restaurant. We sat at the bar first and enjoyed a couple drinks. The bartender was awesome. There was a dripping ceiling, which was kind of annoying, but the bartender tried to clean it as well as he could.
The waitress was okay. She wasn't overly nice, but that's maybe preferred. We made our own antipasto tray, which was fun and tasted good. My mom ordered a shrimp and fettucine dish, which came out before my pasta. That was a little annoying. I guess the idea is to share, but I don't like shrimp. So I had to wait for my food. When my pasta arrived, it was very good. Their marinara sauce is excellent.
I would recommend this place to anyone. It has some really good Italian food, good wine list, and fair prices.
Pros: Excellent food and drinks
Cons: Food comes when it's ready

Would highly recommend Keefer's for a party.
Was planning my mom's 75th birthday and stumbled across this restaurant on the web. Photos looked nice, etc. -- that's all I knew of the place. Our whole group was blown away by the food -- large portions, cooked exactly how each of us wanted. They had us in a private room with its own entrance (Keefer's Kafe), which was quaint and comfortable. Servers were personable and attentive.
Prices were excellent and they have the lowest "minimum" for a party of any of the restaurants I contacted. Downside -- they charge a $100 server fee and had a mandatory 20% tip. This put the cost of service at 28% of the total tab. The service was great but 28% is quite high.
Pros: Great Food, Awesome Environment, Excellent Service
Cons: 20% Tip Required on top of $100 Server Charge

RL has it all, from decor, service,food,to ambience and atmosphere.RL maintains a posh and elegant scene, our server was very helpful and on point.Now the food i must say was one of the best i ever had,from the crab louis to RL's steaks and sides.It's a place where you could dress up and won't feel left out or lonely, everyone here is pretty much dressed up. The only negative comment i have is the wait, although we had reservations we still had to wait a while, make sure you have reservations,i won't recommend walk ins especially on the weekends.
Pros: It's a Ralph Lauren restaurant,what else do you want!!!!!!!!
Cons: Wait time really.

My husband and friends wanted to take me out for dinner and drinks before meeting up with a bunch of people for my 30th birthday celebration. After finding out that the initial restaurant I wanted to dine at had a 3 hour wait, we stumbled down to Flatwater per the suggestion of a member of our party. Let me just say, what a blessing in disguise that the other place had such a long wait! Everything that we ate and drank here was wonderful! We started with the Gaspacho (sorry if that is spelled wrong), that was definately a loose interpretation, which, in our foody book, is always a pro! There was a hint of cinnamon which made it to die for! My husband and I decided to split our meals. I chose the seared Ahi Tuna, while he picked the Short ribs! YUM! Both melted in our mouths. The other 2 diners in our party had Short ribs as well, and the Pork Chop. My husband and I are usually not Pork Chop fans, but, this dish made us change our mind! Delicious prep, tender, and the fennel mashed potato garnish was amazing!
Oh, and we can't forget drinks! Blueberry Mojitos! AWESOME!!!!
The waitstaff was nothing but accomodating, and at the end of our meal, we made sure to tell our waitress how awesome the meal was. She said she would pass that onto the chef. She wasn't kidding! He came out to speak with us! Told us that their pork chop is custom cut from a vendor up north, that he frequents the local farmers markets for his produce, etc. He was just a joy for us to speak with!
oh, and don't forget the view! Being a chicagoan my entire life, I never get sick of sitting outdoors and looking at my city!
Def give this hidden gem a shot, I think you'll like it!
Pros: Great outdoor dining!
Cons: Noisy boats (and those aren't even that bad)

Tsunami is my go-to restaurant for family events, dates, girls night out and special occasions. The owners and staff are friendly and welcoming and always make sure everyone is happy. The food is great and reasonable. In the winter, cozy up by the fire. In the summer, hang out in the outdoor seating. I highly recommend the Tsunami Maki and the Tuna 4 Way (with mango sauce)!

I have lived in Bucktown for almost 4 years so we have lived about 3 blocks away from Feast. Unfortunately I only started going there this past year. Big mistake. Every time I have been to Feast the food has been consitently great! From the burger, to the chicken skewers to many more dishes then I can type here, we have never been disappointed. My only complaint is that the service, although quick, can be a bit impersonal, borderline unfriendly, however, what Feast may lack in service they make up for it in quality and consistency in food, after all, we don't always need to bond with our server to enjoy our meals thats what good company is for :)
Pros: close to home
Cons: service can be impersonal
