About RPM Seafood

RPM Seafood is a seafood restaurant along the riverfront in Chicago, serving fine dining with pasta, steaks, and a full premium bar. The setting pairs a fashionable interior with views of the water, and the menu spans 46 items across mains, with a focus on seafood prepared for a special-occasion meal. The RPM Grand Seafood Tower leads the menu as a signature centerpiece, while Spanish Branzino offers a popular cooked-fish option and Banana Cream Napoleon closes meals as a layered dessert. Because the riverfront space draws both regulars and event guests, booking ahead is advised, especially for tables near the windows. The restaurant also works as a caterer, extending its seafood format to private events beyond the dining room.

Customer Review Summary

Reviewers consistently highlight the branzino as a standout dish, describing it as light, fresh, and cooked to perfection, with several calling it the best thing they ordered. The RPM Grand Seafood Tower and banana cream napoleon also draw repeated praise, the latter called unique, light, and a perfect ending to the meal. The riverfront patio overlooking the Chicago River is singled out as a highlight, with several diners noting the view as a defining part of the experience and suggesting a reservation ahead of time for patio seating. Service is frequently described as friendly and attentive, and many mention the restaurant works well for special occasions, from anniversaries to graduations. A few note the entrees do not come with a vegetable, so adding a shared side is common. One reviewer found the food hit or miss, and another felt the Greek lemon potatoes were too fried and not very crispy.

  • Dmitry Kolyaskin
    Can’t beat the location — the patio overlooking the Chicago River is excellent and easily the highlight of the experience. If you want patio seating, definitely make a reservation ahead of time… which, to be fair, is probably obvious for …
  • Keira Herr
    Beautiful restaurant nestled right next to the river and with a trendy “I want to be there” vibe, with popular edm blasting and everyone dressed up a little more than they usually would. …
  • Lisa Clarke
    If you are looking for a restaurant with vibe, great food, chic atmosphere and decor, waterfront River location, lounge music, this is the place! This restaurant does everything right! This is why it is so tricky to get a reservation here as it’s one if Chicagos “must” spots to eat! Celebrating graduation after a long road of dedicated work and exams, it was the best place to celebrate in style!
