Best Kid Friendly Restaurants in River North (Chicago)

Service was attentive and food was delicious! Had a birthday brunch here on a whim and will definitely come back!

Be careful to go to the correct location! Luckily we arrived early & had time to get to the correct location. They had no interest in accommodating us. Once we aren’t at the Streeterville location we had a great experience. I would definitely recommend this Beatrix location. It is slightly less busy & just has a better vibe. I enjoyed my latte with the cool design and the lemon pancakes. My partner had the ham & cheese croissant and it was also delicious. The food didn’t arrive very quickly but I’m ok with a slightly slower delivery on a Sunday when I want to enjoy my food & the experience. The tables are a bit crowded which is why I gave it a 4/5 for ambiance.

The meal began with the Wagyu Beef Carpaccio—delicate, melt-in-your-mouth slices bursting with rich flavor and perfectly balanced seasoning. The Foie Gras followed, decadently smooth and expertly prepared. For the main course, the Dry-Aged Ribeye was exceptional. Cooked to perfection, it boasted deep, robust flavors and a buttery texture that showcased the quality of the cut. The accompanying pastas were equally impressive, crafted with care and full of bold, comforting flavors. Dessert was a standout with the Chocolate Mousse Cake, a rich yet airy creation that was the perfect sweet finish to the evening. Complementing the meal, Maple & Ash’s expertly crafted cocktails elevated the experience even further. Each drink was thoughtfully prepared, balancing creativity with classic elegance. Throughout the evening, the attentive service ensured a seamless dining experience—every detail was handled with care, from knowledgeable recommendations to perfectly timed courses.

Great atmosphere. Lots of choices for children and adults. Customer service could’ve been better but due to automatic gratuity it wasn’t acknowledged.

We were looking for a quick/late dinner and the food was amazing. We were a little shocked by the bill it was $82 for 2 create your own pizzas - not knowing it was additional for each item included on the pizza, and $2 charge for a cup of ranch. We had 2 drinks before leaving. Our waiter was awesome - Pablo.
