class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"River_Roast_Golden_Hour_on_the_Chicago_River\"><\/span>River Roast: Golden Hour on the Chicago River<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Some evenings ask for a table by the water \u2014 boats sliding under the LaSalle Street bridge, a cold drink in hand, and a dinner that unhurriedly turns into night. River Roast calls itself a social house, and that is exactly how it behaves: loud enough to feel alive, generous enough to keep everyone at the table happy.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Concept\"><\/span>The Concept<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Housed in the historic Reid Murdoch Building since 2014, River Roast was dreamed up for Levy Restaurants by acclaimed chef Tony Mantuano around a nostalgic idea \u2014 the old-fashioned Sunday supper, where a big roast lands in the middle of the table and conversation does the rest.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_Order\"><\/span>What to Order<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Let the carving trolley set the tone: slow-roasted beef sliced at your elbow, a whole roasted fish for the table, or the famous wood-smoked chicken with its crackling skin. Add shareable sides, a round of craft cocktails or a local draft, and dessert becomes a group decision.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Space\"><\/span>The Space<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Two levels of exposed brick and river light, with a waterside patio that fills at sunset and live blues rolling through on Saturdays and Sundays. Downstairs hums like a lively tavern; upstairs and the terrace feel made for lingering.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_Its_For\"><\/span>Who It&#8217;s For<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Sunset dates, weekend brunch crews, family celebrations where three generations need to agree, and out-of-town guests you want to quietly impress with a skyline view.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Good_to_Know\"><\/span>Good to Know<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>How do I get a patio table?<\/strong> Patio seats are first-come, first-served in season \u2014 come early on warm evenings, especially Fridays.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is there bar seating?<\/strong> Yes, the bar welcomes walk-ins and is a great solo or pre-dinner perch with a river view.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is it kid-friendly?<\/strong> Very \u2014 the shared-roast format was practically invented for family tables, and early hours are calmer.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How do I get there without a car?<\/strong> It is a short walk from the Clark\/Lake L hub and right off the Riverwalk; valet and nearby garages cover drivers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Anything for lighter appetites?<\/strong> Salads, fish and vegetable sides balance the roasts, and staff handle dietary requests gracefully.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Opening_hours\"><\/span>Opening hours<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\">\n<table class=\"has-fixed-layout\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Day<\/th>\n<th>Hours<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Monday<\/td>\n<td>11:30\u201321:00<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Tuesday<\/td>\n<td>11:30\u201321:00<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Wednesday<\/td>\n<td>11:30\u201321:00<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Thursday<\/td>\n<td>11:30\u201322:00<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Friday<\/td>\n<td>11:30\u201322:00<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Saturday<\/td>\n<td>11:00\u201322:00<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Sunday<\/td>\n<td>11:00\u201321:00<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<section id=\"entity-gallery\" class=\"padrino-entity-gallery\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Photos\"><\/span>Photos<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.chicagoka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/69\/2026\/06\/river-roast-chicago-1.jpg\" alt=\"River Roast\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.chicagoka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/69\/2026\/06\/river-roast-chicago-2.jpg\" alt=\"River Roast\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.chicagoka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/69\/2026\/06\/river-roast-chicago-3.jpg\" alt=\"River Roast\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.chicagoka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/69\/2026\/06\/river-roast-chicago-4.jpg\" alt=\"River Roast\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.chicagoka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/69\/2026\/06\/river-roast-chicago-5.jpg\" alt=\"River Roast\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.chicagoka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/69\/2026\/06\/river-roast-chicago-6.jpg\" alt=\"River Roast\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<details>\n<summary>Show 2 more photos<\/summary>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.chicagoka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/69\/2026\/06\/river-roast-chicago-7.jpg\" alt=\"River Roast\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.chicagoka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/69\/2026\/06\/river-roast-chicago-9.jpg\" alt=\"River Roast\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<\/details>\n<\/section>\n<div id=\"comments\" class=\"comments-area wp-block-group\">\n<h2 class=\"comments-title\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Visitor_reviews\"><\/span>Visitor reviews<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ol class=\"comment-list\">\n<li id=\"comment-padrino-0\" class=\"comment odd alt thread-odd thread-alt depth-1\">\n<article id=\"div-comment-padrino-0\" class=\"comment-body\">\n<footer class=\"comment-meta\">\n<div class=\"comment-author vcard\">\n<b class=\"fn\"><span>Alexis Garcia<\/span><\/b>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"comment-metadata\">\n12 May 2026<br \/>\n \u00b7 <span>\u2605 10.0\/10<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<\/footer>\n<div class=\"comment-content\">\n<p>Went to River Roast to celebrate me and my partners anniversary.
