    Not sure what Lettuce is doing. Our waiter was nice but until the dessert, and after I complained she had zero interactions, zero recommendations, zero offer 0f a second drink, zero introduction to the restaurant (after onky asking if we’ve been before), zero mention of the birthday (wife’s), all bussers mysteriously all masked only clearing and not even asking if someone’s done. Mgrs abd wine guys might consider museum curator roles as they don’t interact with the tabke at all. In fact most waiters are not interacting with tables. Ours for sure should pick up the book “setting the table” and get a few pointers. What happened to welcome, etc etc. let’s do a bottle of wine since we’re celebrating, etc. the carbonara was flat at best. Great texture, no taste. I told mgr who comped that item but I feel it was a veer processed experience which really sucks since we’re Chicago fans. Will not return to this location and cxling corporate dinner plans there in July.

    I was prepared to love this place and just...didn't. The service was perfectly lovely, but beyond that, I don't have much good to say. It may have been an off-night there, but the food was mediocre. Things like, meatballs that were cold in the middle; fried zucchini that was really salty in one bite, but flavorless in the rest; and bland, chewy tiramisu. This place came high recommended, so like I said maybe just an off night, but I'll never originate a plan to go there again.

    The food was absolutely phenomenal and our waiter Daniel was so friendly and knowledgeable. Arrived on a Tuesday early afternoon (before 5) so it was very quiet. Bill was reasonable for the quality @ at $125 for 2 (bread, 'hot antipasti', 2 entrees & dessert). Great special occasion spot!

    we were there for a bday and there was 8 of us, it was my first time at RPM and it was a pleasant one for me. I like the ambience and layouts of the restaurant. We ordered pretty much everything on the menu and I have to say everything was exceptional, the bone in ribeye was done perfectly, and crusty and hint of salt covering the outside give an amazing flavor. The ink pasta was really good, seafood was fresh and tasty. We had a bottle of red wine My Favorite Neighbor, it was great! our server, Michael? I think, is excellent, he is knowledgable about the food and is really engaged with us. He took his time to give us a crash course of their menu and ingredients and recommendations. He's got a nice pleasant mature personality, just an overall nice guy. Our bill totaled $1,200 plus tips ($1500), pricey but good experience. The only thing I have to say about this place is the vallet parking is bit pricey $25+tip. I will def come back

    I chose RPM Italian for Mother’s Day because I have a gluten allergy and had read some good reviews. I noted the allergy on the reservation, and was surprised when I had to ask for the gf menu. Our service was slow and awkward, some people at our plates cleared while others sat with dirty ones. My husband had to ask for the cherries for his old fashioned, and again when he ordered a second.I continually had to remind our server about my allergy. At the end of the meal he gave me the coffee cake given to all Moms, and when I asked if it was gluten free he made a pained face and said he would be right back, but never returned. Neither will we.

    I booked this mother's Day rez three weeks out. We had to wait until all 6 were present to be seated so at 10 mins after our rez time (at 6 pm) I went to the reception to check us in and they sat us (with our kids) in the BAR. They said they gave away our table :( It was only 10 mins after 6 PM. The lobster caprese and garlic bread was AMAZING!! But both pasta dishes were under done (crunchy) we decided not to say anything since we wanted to finish up dinner and get out of the bar. I've been to the one in CHI and this one several times with great experiences. We are all single parents and were saving up our pennies for this nice meal out but sadly, I do not think any of us want to come back :(
