Average dinner experience and food
Had dinner here with friends last week. There was a big event happening that impacted staffing, and we were told it might also impact the wait time for food. Based on the servers' encouragement, we put in an order for half a chicken and then a

We had a dinner reservation at River Roast on the Chicago Riverwalk. We were running late, but they were accommodating to us having to push back our reservation. It was raining so we weren't able to eat outside. That was a bummer as we were look
Once we got a sever, our experience was incredible.
We love Lexi!! They have some great happy hour deals, and the the food is so good. You have to try the chicken bites from the appetizer menu, soooo good! You can't go wrong but I definitely recommend the burger and glazed carrots too. Long wait

We arrived with a reservation and got seated right at 11:00 when they opened. We sat inside by the window overlooking the river. An excellent view without the sun. Jimmy, our server, greeted us and took amazing care - never letting our drinks get emp

Great Place for Brunch on the River
My wife and I had brunch at River Roast with an 11:45 reservation, and we were seated right away. Annie was our server, and she gave great recommendations—convincing my wife to try the chicken and waffles. She loved it, noting the chicken was well-

The View
Very delicious. We visited in the winter but would love to come back and sit along the river. The portions are great but, as everywhere in downtown Chicago, they are expensive. it was our waiter's first day, and he asked my cousin if he wanted a
Don’t Skip This Chicago Gem!
I went to River Roast years ago on a business trip and took a chance going back on a family holiday. It was amazing!! The service and food were both phenomenal!
Best Place on the River
To start the evening, we were running late for our reservation, but called ahead and made sure we wouldn’t lose our table. River Roast was very accommodating and held our reservation until we arrived. We were seated in a very reasonable amount of
Discrimination by manager Ernesto - avoid at all costs
I typically only leave 5 star reviews, but had such a terrible experience at this restaurant that I had to leave this one star. I was planning a family vacation, and our last night was in Chicago. I knew my kids would love the location -- right along
Made our day!
What an awesome surprise! We came in with low expectations as many of the riverfront places are kind of snobby and all about the location. This place checks everything on the list. Good vibe, perfect views, great service, and the food was incredible.
Connect with users posting reservations for River Roast Chicago
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with River Roast Chicago. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to River Roast Chicago at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the River Roast Chicago page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* EternalAnt36, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* EternalAnt36 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to EternalAnt36 for any questions Peter may have as EternalAnt36 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* EternalAnt36 now uses their connections at River Roast Chicago to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If EternalAnt36 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, EternalAnt36 receives the $200 reward which is credited to EternalAnt36's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at River Roast Chicago!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
