Classic, clubby American dining with polished service and standout staples in a tight, lively room; reserve ahead and expect premium pricing.

Why this grade

RL Restaurant ranks among Chicago's most celebrated dining establishments, delivering exceptional food quality anchored by signature dishes like the RL Burger and Dover sole, paired with attentive service and outstanding design appeal that defines its iconic clubby atmosphere. Tight seating at peak times and occasional consistency dips prevent grade A+ territory, but the restaurant's loyal following and Mag Mile prestige reflect its standing as a destination-worthy steakhouse.

One caveat: Room is tightly sat; expect bumps and a loud crowd at peak hours
