We liked RPM seafood and decided to try Steak for my son's birthday. We had an 8:15 reservation to main dining which got bumped to 8:40 as tables were still occupied and eventually we got seated in the bar as we were told it would still be 10-15 minutes more for main dining. Calling early to shift the reservation was denied as the available seating was 9:15. We effectively got pushed close to that time. Suffice to say, an auspicious start. Bar seating is dimly lit and you're up against the bar patrons and the music is loud. We'd have been better off in main dining. We ordered filets and a ribeye medium rare plus and sides with poppers, shrimp cocktail and a Caesar salad to start. Apps were excellent. The steaks so-so ... no desert. And G&T and Chardonnay drinks All in all, ok. But not a wow night. Service was good. Watch for the 'Restaurant Charge' at 2.5% - our server could not explain it, only saying it's a carryover from Covid days - so she removed it. read more

My last visit to RPM Steak was another winner. It was a bustling Saturday night, which made it great for people watching. Our server and his team were fantastic. They checked on us often and made our evening fun. We enjoyed salads, steaks, tuna, fries and mashed potatoes. Everything tasted delicious. Of course we finished our meal with made to order strawberry cotton candy. read more

RPM Steak was good! Reservations can easily be made via Open Table, so I reserved a dinner date in advance. However, upon arrival, we still ended up waiting about 20 minutes past our designated time. I attributed this to it being a busy Friday night. We skipped appetizers and went straight for entrees and sides. I ordered the center cut filet + garlic and rosemary butter with sides of Millionaire's potato and spicy broccolini. My steak was amazing! Very well prepared, flavorful, and the perfect "medium" temperature. It was quite honestly one of the best steaks I've ever had. The potato was huge and very savory; I enjoyed it. The broccolini was definitely a bit too spicy for me, but still tasty and perfectly steamed. read more

We went here for a special date night and to be fair, we were expecting a little better for service. We have been to many other high-end steakhouses, so the service here was not what we had expected at all. Our server did not seem attentive at all, gave only 1 check in, forgot to tell us the specials, and did not walk through the menus at all. We gave benefit of the doubt that perhaps the restaurant was just busy (we had reservations), but it did not seem like that was the case. The table next to us had a different server, and they were way more attentive, and giving recommendations based on what is popular. To us, it felt like the service was not worth the price we paid for at all (~$400). As former food service workers, we wanted to give some grace, but at the same time, it is hard for us to justify the level of service for a restaurant that is supposed to be very nice. However, the food was delicious. The NY Strip was a little tough to cut through, but it tasted great. The fries however, seemed like they were cold, and perhaps a little old since they had a soggy texture to it. Ambiance was beautiful. We had reservations, and we were seated in a half-circle booth. The lighting was good, and no complaints about the noise levels. Would I come here again? Most likely not, but it was an OK experience overall. Maybe we just expected a little more from a nice restaurant, but the service could have been significantly better based on our experience. read more

Dim lighting, great music, and comfy booths with a view make the vibes 9.5/10. Service was amazing, friendly, funny, and attentive. 9/10 The steak had perfect texture, crispy outside, medium rare inside, a little plain in flavor though. 8/10 King crab mac & cheese was rich and truffle-y with perfect crab texture. 8.5/10 Parmesan risotto was comforting and creamy with generous amount of black truffle but not the most exciting. 7.5/10 Parker house rolls were warm and soft, pretty simple. 6/10 Chocolate cake was rich and humongous, perfect dessert. 9/10 Cocktails were solid. Carajillo Picoso was like a smooth espresso martini, Monte Cassino was sweet and high quality. 8/10. Such a great date night spot with amazing ambiance if you love steak! read more

Salmon? Great. Steak? Cut like butter. Sweet potatoes? Sweeter than an old lady. Crab cake? I'll take 10. No but seriously, I can't stop thinking about the crab cake. I don't remember what kind of sauce was on the top, but it was so flavorful! The salmon was delicious and melted like butter. Our steak was full of flavor and paired well with rosemary fries. I also ordered a zero proof drink that had cucumber soda and it was so refreshing! The restaurant had good vibes flowing all around, it's dimly lit and had upbeat music playing. We'll definitely be coming back and trying some other dishes. read more

This is a higher Inn restaurant in downtown Chicago that is limited. They seem very crowded and popular is best to probably Uber or valet. They have a daily cotton candy flavor, which is awesome for someone who has a sweet tooth. The burger was OK. The fries were extremely salty. My drinks were good set at the bar because there was literally no seats. Highly recommend you make a reservation there was nothing recommended or really outstanding about this place. Hope you enjoy! read more

Everything on this menu is high quality and delicious, even the least expensive item..the burger. Every time we are here we have a great experience.

If you're celebrating a special event be sure to tell them, the staff takes care of you! read more

I recently went for my birthday and I had heard nothing but great things about this place. We let them know in advance that we were there celebrating my birthday. We were greeted and sat down to a welcoming menu that read happy birthday. We had a wonderful waiter who greeted us and was very enthusiastic about us being there for a first time. I had mentioned that I had only been there to pick up the wonderful chocolate cake for takeout. He remembered that. We started with the pop over rolls and kale salad as well as I ordered the Zero Proof drink called Waitlist. First the drink: it was very refreshing and lightly sweetened with a nice sparkle. The rolls were crispy with an airy and flaky inside. Came with a wonderful seasoned butter appeared nicely with it, and the textures were all on point. The kill salad was nice and fresh. The dressing on it was a little tangy prepared nicely with the fresh mushrooms, and there was shredded cheese. I was slightly dusted over it. All the textures were great and the crispy onions also were nice. For the main course, we ordered the double Wagyu cheeseburger and the creek stone center cut fillet. The fillet was cooked medium well and it was phenomenal. For someone that doesn't eat steak as often it had a very nice taste and texture as well as we paired it with a truffle sauce. The Wagyu cheeseburger was amazing with a soft pillow bun and amazing garlic sauce, and crispy onions. The meat on the burger was very tasteful and not too thick which I loved. The fries that came with those were seasoned well. Next for the sides, we ordered hen of the mushrooms and the golden plate of the night was the Japanese sweet potatoes. The mushrooms had a nice flair to them and tasted very fresh she had seasoned. The Japanese potatoes were flesh fried and had a crispy texture on the outside had were soft and pull away on the inside, and there was a nice glazed sauce on it. Overall, the textures and sauce combinations worked so well in this dish. This is definitely a sleeper item for anyone to try. Last I was surprised with a happy birthday cotton candy, which was very whimsical and nice for celebrating a birthday and the waiter remembered about my favorite cake and was able to provide the 14k chocolate cake and that was such a wonderful end to an amazing dinner thank you RPM for allowing me to celebrate my birthday in the most amazing way. The waiter was Ray, amazing service. Please ask for him next time! read more

RPM Steak has the best happy hour!!!! They have salad, black truffle fries, a burger & a few drink options on it all for around $12-$20. The truffle fries were amazing, not too strong of a truffle flavor and covered in parm! The salad came with lots of big parmesan crisps and whole leafs of lettuce - leaving up to you how chopped up you wanted it! They also brought us out their corn dish which might not look very appetizing but this ended up being my favorite thing I tried. Sooooo good left over too, I would not skip the corn!!! The inside is very dark and ~moody~ making this the perfect date night or cozy winter spot. We went right at 5 and it was empty in there, so our service was great. read more

Almost a 5 but I'll tell you in a bit how they lost a point. Beautiful place, one of the best in Chicago. Incredible drinks by great bartenders who can be creative, very friendly. I'm not a red meat eater, but went here with a work group. Started with a petite seafood tower which was fresh, great variety, just perfect. Everyone except me got different steaks and all were extremely pleased with their meals. The one had a "steak sampler platter" that gave her small portions of 3 different cuts of meats. Another guy had a ribeye called it the best steak he ever had. I had the miso black cod, outstanding, good size portions and very favorable. Great selection of sides and apps (bacon was my favorite). Few tables away from us was a "influencer couple", and so obnoxious as they would feed each other the entire meal, while looking into the camera. And, oh, wow, the camera was on a full size tripod. I heard the waiter ask once if they could move it, was in the way, but it never happened. Complete and total obnoxious a-h's. read more

Came here to celebrate our move to Chicago! We made a resy and started with drinks. Dirty martini was PERFECT - to the point I was going to ask them what they're doing that other bartenders haven't figured out yet. Went with the bone in ribeye, which they sliced for us and was cooked to perfection. This was perfectly seasoned, and was PLENTY for two people. We even had leftovers for steak & eggs the next day. Spicy broccolini could've been spicier, but still tasty (and some green on the plate!). Rosemary fries were subtle and crunchy. For dessert, we went with the blueberry cheesecake, which was divine and so light. The graham cracker crust wasn't overdone. A lot of tables near us were ordering the baked Alaska, which looked like an experience! Would definitely recommend for celebrating a special occasion out in Chicago! Would definitely read more

We were able to sit at the bar since we didn't have a reservation and the bar is open seating. I ordered the steak frites and my husband got a ribeye. My steak was great I ordered it medium plus. Next time I'll just do medium. It was charred with a delicious creamy sauce on the side. I was a bit disappointed when it didn't come with traditional truffle fries but more crispy chips instead. I could've asked but dealt with it. Husband enjoyed his 6 oz ribeye. The star of the show was the incredible Mac n cheese!!!! Bacon with thick pasta. Delicious! read more

Our son chose RPM for his celebration dinner. With reservations, we were seated immediately at a nice corner booth. The ambiance is modern and upscale. Scott was our impeccable server. Along with a super-attentive support staff, our table was well-cared for. One of our guests has a peanut allergy. In an abundance of caution, our food was prepped separately which resulted in a bit more wait, but Scott kept us informed. He then checked on us often. The food was meticulously presented and beyond delicious! The fresh popovers with the rosemary Nordic butter were so good. The steaks and my cod were melt-in-your-mouth perfect. The shared sides were fantastic -- the Bacon Mac & Cheese was a favorite. For dessert I shared the Coffee Crème Brûlée with my husband -- LOVE! It was a perfect evening. We hope to return at our next visit to Chicago. read more

RPM STEAK was an interesting new experience. The food was absolutely AMAZING! From the dirty martini to the filets, the food was incredible. That being said, the service was just OK. When we arrived, none of the staff were smiling, least of all at us. No one said "welcome", not until we got to our table. It was pouring rain outside so our choice to dine there should've been acknowledged. It was my birthday and I told them this. They did wish me a happy birthday, but did nothing else that made our visit special. We were sat in the bar, which was fine, but the music was really loud, which made conversation difficult as my husband has hearing aids. So we asked to be moved where it was at least a little better. On a couple of occasions the air conditioning turned on so high that we were freezing! The lady at the next table over from us had to ask them to turn it off! We had to flag our server on multiple occasions when we needed something. She didn't check in with us often enough. Two glasses of red wine, a martini, a Coke and two filet steaks with two sides: $300.00 before tip. I didn't mind paying this for a special meal, but I would have been much happier with friendlier and much more attentive service. read more

RPM Steak in my opinion sets the bar for Chicago steakhouses. I visit this restaurant once or twice a year, and I am floored by the quality of food. The steaks are tender, flavorful, cooked perfectly. They also offer interesting cocktails (and in my opinion the best Paloma and G&T in the city) and the wine list is spectacular. They offer a wide Japanese Wagyu selection and caviar. As a guest, you get to enjoy these top-class foods and drinks in a formal but warm and inviting environment. It is truly an elevated experience with a friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive staff. If you do visit, please order the baked Alaska. Tastes great and is a memorable show as they flambé it at table side. Of course, the consideration is cost. RPM is in a similar price range to Maple and Ash, and both are considerably more expensive than other steakhouses in the city. Still, I think RPM is a great experience and visiti. read more

RPM Steak - Steakhouses Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

RPM steak reminds me of Quality Meats in NYC as they both have a few different restaurants retaining their first name followed by the cuisine they serve (e.g. Quality Italian and RPM Italian). This was a massive restaurant going for fancier vibes though they did have TVs showing live sports which seems antithetical to the elegant decor. The service was good. I never felt like my glass of water was ever less than 50 percent full. Since this was our first dinner in Chicago, we discovered too late that the portion size was bigger than NYC's. We enjoyed the wedge salad though we would've appreciated more tomatoes and avocado. We didn't realize the wagyu burger would come with fries so the additional orders of the ribeye with sides of broccolini and the whipped potatoes were excessive. We could've skipped the whipped potatoes. The butter we put on the ribeye really added to the flavor. We didn't have room for dessert. This was definitely a good option if you find yourself in Chicago. read more

Came here for a work-related dinner on a weekday. For a hard of hearing person, the noise and acoustics of the place is not good. I couldn't understand the front desk nor the waitress when they talk. They speak English but I cannot comprehend. The ambiance and decor is very 1940s, classic and austere. I get claustrophobic vibes. Great for a business dinner but rather drab for a personal trip. I had the wagyu and was a bit chewy. The parker house rolls was delicious, the brussel sprouts and rpm ceasar salad options were on the salty side. Hamachi crudo was fresh and flavorful. read more

Amazing!! Best meal I've had in the U.S. and one of the top meals ever. Went for my birthday (either it's just about everyone's birthday or they love giving out the birthday dessert). Went with hubby and kids, wasn't sure if it would feel like a high end chain as it's lettuce entertain you. Food- every single dish was amazing- king crab, beef tartar, French onion soup, popovers, Kobe, A5, ribeye and salmon. Kobe was just like what I had in Japan. So so so good. Everything was fresh and cooked perfectly. Dessert of baked Alaska, creme brûlée, chocolate cake, all were perfect. Our server was excellent, really helpful and good with kids! The ambience is loud enough that they could play on their phone and talk, no problem. The length of time between apps and meals was a little longer but nothing to damper the experience. Ambiance is very nice- like a blend of old school steakhouse with a combo of current trends. Would definitely come back and recommend!! read more

Had dinner at RPM this week and thought the food was good. We were seated right away and our server was very accommodating . We ordered the octopus as an app and I thought they could have kept the potatoes and give me more octopus. Had a really nice flavor with a little bit of spicy. My colleague got the Mac and cheese with a Caesar salad while I got the ribeye with spicy broccoli. Good experiences, good food with an ever better atmosphere. I would diner her again read more

There is valet parking available, some street parking and a parking garage close by. We had a reservation and were seated quickly. It has low lighting, rounded booths with a few larger tables. The service was great. Our waiter checked in often. The thick cut bacon was fantastic - it was juicy, flavorful and melted in your mouth. I loved the flavor of the Caesar salad - the dressing was lite but flavorful and the crisp Parmesan was excellent. My filet was okay but a little overcooked. I liked the French fries, they had the perfect crunch and thickness. The Brussel sprouts were good but the curry flavor was a little too much for me. We did enjoy the cotton candy as well. read more

We had reservations for 915p. It took about 10 mins to get a table ready for us. Ann was our waitress. The way she carried herself I thought she was the manager at first checking on us. Although, I do love the aesthetic of the place it was just a bit too dim. We really couldn't read the menu. We both had the bone in grass fed ribeye. I had mine with rosemary and garlic butter. My friend had truffle butter. We shared brussel sprouts and parmesan spinach. We each got a millionaire's potato.... Everything was delicious. The steak was seasoned well and cooked how I wanted it. The potato was a highlight as well! It had the right amount of truffle and cheese. I wasn't disappointed with anything, except they don't give out a dessert if celebrating a birthday because everyone gets cotton candy. read more

Had a wonderful dinner experience at RPM in Chicago! Lots of choices on the menu I went for the ribeye. My Caesar salad was delicious as well.

An amazing steakhouse is @rpmsteak. The steaks were well seasoned, the seafood was fresh, the chicken was juicy, the sides were delicious, and the desserts were delish. The sides we got were the Millionaires Potato, the Crispy Brussels Sprouts, the Bacon Mac & Cheese, and the Rosemary French Fries. The Bacon Mac & Cheese is a must have and was definitely one of my favorites. The main dishes were the Cowboy Steak, the Center-Cut Filet, the Ribeye, the RPM Steak Frites, and the Roasted Chicken, respectively. The shareable plate was the Petite Chilled Seafood Tower which everyone enjoyed. The dessert we got was a chocolate cake and complementary pink cotton candy for the table. All the food was top-notch and some of the best you could get at a steakhouse.-@bellieeats read more

A good bar tender goes along way in elevating your dining experience, especially if you're waiting for dinner guest to arrive. Maddy the chill and engaging bar tender does just that. She is also confidently aware of the menu and had recommendations based on my preferences! Most, if not all Lettuce Entertain you restaurants are quality establishments, this included. Pricing is expensive but on par with other steak houses. Service is of course second to none and very unobtrusive. My water glass just fills itself without me noticing. The Bernie Miller chop, spicy broccolini, miso black cod and Japanese sweet potatoes were fine. Special mention however goes to the delmonico ribeye, parmesan spinach, Lobster Mac and cheese - these are reasons to come back. Another reason is the caramel bake Alaska that we didn't have time to order. So I guess I'm really coming back. Caramel backed Alaska are you kidding me? I'm in. The Complementary cotton candy at the end was very nice. read more

Great dining experience. Food was delicious. Extensive wine selection as well. Prices on average with similar steakhouses.

We came here for happy hour immediately at 4:00 and we were so impressed!! Our favorite of the night was the tartare, we could have had several orders but everything we got was tasty! The happy hour menu is enough for apps not necessarily a full meal, which makes it perfect for a start to GNO!

Impressed by RPM Steak. We've tried most of the highly rated Chicago "steak" restaurants and I'd put RPM Steak up with the best of them. The service was impeccable. Our server was very knowledgeable of the menu, gave great suggestions and had an entertaining personality. The food was amazing. During this dining experience we had a group of five guys, so we tried a bunch of appetizers to start. One app to suggest was the thick cut bacon. One of my favorite thick cut steaks I've had. It was so tender, you could cut it with a fork. Top that with a perfect blend of sweet and savory flavor. Definitely worth trying it. Everyone had different cuts of steak for the main course, ranging from the Delmonico, cowboy cut, and filet. RPM Steak had 5 different cuts of wagu being sold by the ounce on the menu. We tried two different varieties in a few ounces each as a preface to the main steak course. The general consensus was the snow wagu was the favorite, super marbled and melts in your mouth. We also had a few different side dishes to share. The Japanese sweet potatoes were the table favorite. But the millionaires potato, which is a loaded twice baked potato was also a highlight of the sides After this first experience at RPM Steak, I put it on my top 5 steak restaurants in the city, based on the ambiance, service, and of course the food and wine list. read more
