   Excellent food and service. Fun place to be. Gorgeous night with the windows open (a bit chilly for that but it eventually warmed up with the heater). Food choices were Cod, Salmon, Snapper and Fish & Chips. All outstanding. I was less impressed with the appetizers (shrimp very stingy for the price, and I didn’t like the octopus preparation). Desserts are tasty and HUGE. Definitely one to split for a table of 4 is enough.

   Went to RPM Seafood for a business dinner with four guys. For the positives… We had a shrimp cocktail, hamachi roll, salmon sashimi, and grilled octopus and all were great. Two of the guests had the black cod and I had the wagyu NY strip which was outstanding. Mushrooms, broccolini, and crispy potato sides were all great as well. As were the drinks. For the negatives… the service was hit or miss throughout the night. The server was very good but then inexplicably would disappear for long periods. He never asked if we had dined at the restaurant before (we had not). He never explained the menu or made recommendations. He never came by the table after the entrees were served. He was generally slow in taking orders, getting drinks, following up, etc. The restaurant has club music playing. Not exactly the vibe we were looking. I appreciate it’s a seafood restaurant and not a classic steakhouse but at that price point, I expect something more refined. Finally, the restaurant charges a 3.5% surcharge for employees. Not explained or anything, just right there on the bill. Overall the food was great but will definitely not be going back. Too many other great restaurants in the city to enjoy.

   We got married at RPM Events last year, and we were so excited to celebrate our first wedding anniversary at RPM Seafood. From the moment we arrived, Jason, the manager, went above and beyond to make the night very special and memorable for us. He even helped us recreate some of the magic from our wedding day by letting us relive our first dance in their event space. We’re incredibly thankful to Jason and the entire team for making us feel so celebrated.

   We went for Easter brunch and I called prior and asked if they’d have a special menu or specials and was told yes. We arrived and there was 1 special. Food is SEVERALLY over priced and the service was terrible. First time I’ve been there and I will not be going back.

   Was surprised that there was no acknowledgement of the special occasion noted in the reservation notes (engagement); kitchen was out of dover sole; drink order was wrong; and steak was overcooked. Learned later that family called ahead and filled out the form to pay for our tab but that didn’t work out, as there was no acknowledgement and I paid. Otherwise everything was fine, nothing special.

   Food was ok, but nothing special at all. Expected more for the price point. Service was good

   The food was good. Natalie was GREAT! I'm not sure we liked that security kept his eyes on our table.

    Fabulous dinner. The patio is Chicago at its finest. Fresh seafood as if you’re on the coast.
