    Great service today. Used the 19.00 Groupon coupon during lunch hour and since Rivers only served apps at the bar, our wonderful waitress, Esther got us 13.95 off each.amazing dish! Customer-oriented.

    Amazing views. Food was good but there's definitely better in Chicago. Chilean sea bass was cooked perfectly but it's a hard fish to mess up.

    Roasted chicken breast is a standout w/ chipotle glaze & rich veal sauce. It comes atop garlic mashed potatoes and haricots verts with red peppers and shiitake mushrooms. Read more

    The food here is amazing and your on the Chicago River. What else can you ask for? Well... Maybe live a few blocks away... 215 West could be the perfect home for you. Green Luxurious Living

    There are so many good craft beers in Chicago these days. Sadly none can be found on the limited tap handles at Rivers.

    On Thursday nights, stop by the outside bar for a drink. Usually a good crowd.

    Here for breakfast? Cinnamon French toast is basic but good; bacon or sausage is included. Add fresh-squeezed orange juice for $3.50. Read more

    This is the spot to eat during the summer. Grab a table with a view of the river. It is Rivers afterall.

    Don't sit at the bar, unless you want to be involved in the never ending waitress/bartender shit talking gossip extravaganza.

    Wouldn't come back here at lunch. We waited 10 minutes after being seated and didn't even see a waiter.

    Not particularly good food or service. Also, their steaks are subpar.
