The Kitchen American Bistro Chicago Reviews from The Last Year
Went her for drinks and apps.
Waiter asked if there was any allergies(which is always appreciated) and we let him know that there was a sesame allergy. We ordered the burrata and he told us he would double check with the kitchen about the allergy. He came back and let us know we were all good. Then after consuming the burrata I started to feel a reaction and looked closer to find that there were sesame seeds on the burrata. I'm not sure if there was a miscommunication with the kitchen but was extremely frustrated. Ended up having to end my night early due to this reaction. Didn't say anything at the time because I didn't want to make a scene. But if you are going to ask about an allergy and tell the customer the dish does not contain sesame please make sure you are correct! Allergies should be taken seriously and paid close attention to.
I sat outside with a friend and the service started out
I sat outside with a friend and the service started out awesome with our server Eddie. Eddie was so kind and welcoming & made sure we got a great view of the river. Unfortunately, the service took a dive after that. I had the Bartenders choice (it was a moscow mule today) & my friend had the aperol spritz. We liked our drinks but could not get a second one for the life of us, so after about an hour we gave up and left. Great views, good drinks, hit or miss service- I'd honestly go back again simply because the views were so great!
This was a beautiful place to eat walking distance from
This was a beautiful place to eat walking distance from lots of hotels in the area. You walk along the river. They have big beautiful windows. They have a coat check, nice for those heavy winter coats. Food service was also great and nicely paced. We just got (many) small plates, most of the vegetarian options since we had recently had a lot of meat. They were so good. IMO it can be hard to find places that serve great vegetables that are not trying to be meat and are not just breaded and deep fried (because of course veggies are great deep fried). I remember carrots, broccolini, beets, cauliflower--all wonderful. The crab fried rice was mediocre but not bad, just not elevated to the same level. The big disappointment was dessert. We had a mousse dome and some meringue thing. They sounded great and looked beautiful but weren't enjoyable to eat. The meringue thing didn't have much flavor and the dome was waxy. Would go elsewhere for dessert.

Had the most wonderful meal and dining experience here! The service was so on point, without being intrusive. The food was across the board absolutely lovely. We enjoyed this meal while overlooking the Chicago River, which added so much to the already well-appointed, comfortable ambience of the restaurant! Highly recommend this place to everyone!

So, funny story, I booked a reservation here on what I thought was St. Patrick's Day (Saturday celebration) and ended up being the ACTUAL St. Patrick's Day. I didn't plan to go back into River North after the shenanigans of St. Paddy's Day, but there's a booking fee if you cancel, so I came. I had a delightful brunch here! Great atmosphere. Good view of the river. Seating was not the most comfortable thing of my life, but that's literally my only complaint (and quite minor). I'd come back!

AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS!!!!!!! I understand that my friends and I attended this restaurant on an extremely busy time but the blatant disrespect, unprofessional manner this place conducted themselves is absolutely baffling. First off they ran out of a menu item which we understood and then had to pick other food options. They had mentioned they aren't doing modifications because it was so busy but are willing to accommodate allergies. My friend DOES NOT eat pork or red meat and asked to have the bacon removed off the breakfast sandwich. Our waitress said pick something else and they cannot do that. Mind you we did not ask for substitutions or modifications but asked to not have something on the food item due to food sensitivity. After she asked us to choose something else she then proceeds to say "any other allergies other than the one?" so she could recognize there were allergies and would not accommodate that? Absolutely disgusting service and extremely disrespectful to their own paying customers.

Very cute inside but I went for brunch and it was just kind of middle of the road. I would maybe come again for dinner if I really wanted to be on the water
Service wasn't well.
Waited over 30minutes for simple mimosas. Out of multiple food items when we wanted to order. DO NOT RECOMMEND coming here. I understand they are high volume establishments, but plan ahead of these things to accommodate your customers.
The best dining experience of my life is thanks to Andrew
The best dining experience of my life is thanks to Andrew and Josh at The Kitchen. The food itself is 12/10 but no dining experience is complete without its service. Andrew felt like family from the moment we arrived and gave us the most incredible atmosphere for our meal. His recommendations were spot on but beyond that he was patient, friendly, professional, and made the meal that much better. We would return for his service alone. Josh as well, who continuously checked in on us and supplied us with food we will talk about for weeks to come. Both of these kind men deserve raises, promotions and a lifetime of good luck.
Been meaning to dine here for a while so Valentine's Day it
Been meaning to dine here for a while so Valentine's Day it was....the hostess was kind enough to seat us by the window with a view upon request. The ambiance is trendy, drinks are expensive but good and food is mediocre. We really liked lamb sausage in pastry puffs with greek yogurt on the bottom. We liked it so much that we placed a second order , the crab fried was very dry and crunchy? chicken was moist but lacked flavor, the sashimi salmon with egg yolk on the bottom was tasty but needs an adventurous eater. The desserts were ok, our server brought out a complimentary peanut butter chocolate mousse which was delicious and our order of Pavlova which was a huge disappointment. Overall the experience was definitely underwhelming.
Chill Space, Good Food & Service
We went for Chicago Restaurant Week and had a four course meal for $59. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and professional. The food was excellent. Our only regret is that we didn't order bread to sop up the extra sauce from our dishes. It was a shame to leave something that good on the plate.
Solid brunch place. Good for large groups as well. Service is top notch!
Had brunch with a dozen of my wife’s coworkers. The location is ideal and overlooks the river. The service is great and our server nailed everyone’s orders correctly. Brunch menu is fairly small but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. We loved the breakfast potatoes. I had the Turkish eggs and my wife had the Benedict. Both were great
Great view, solid lunch
Gorgeous spot on the river. Get a table by the window. We visited when it was too cold to sit outside. Had the halloumi naan which was fabulous, the fried chicken sandwich was nothing special. Nice ambience.
Eat outside overlooking the river if the weather is nice
Weekday lunch outside overlooking the river, what could be better? We had the halal cart chicken and the fried chicken sandwich, both were nice and the service was friendly.
A nice summer evening dinner along Chicago River
We spontaneously stepped in on a Sunday night and enjoyed a delicious mix of plates to share, along with a nice bottle of wine. Definitely one of the very good places we have been overseas for dinner during our travel in US and Canada. Sitting on the terrasse, we had a nice view and mostly quite dinner (a few lowder boats passing by) close to the Chicago River! Hostess+Waitress very welcoming and friendly 😊 Absolutely delicious goat cheese cake!
Excellent brunch
We stopped for Sunday brunch. Even though we hadn't booked, we were seated after waiting half an hour. Well-kept place with excellent views of the river. Unfortunately, as it was a rainy day, only the internal spaces were usable. Average prices in Chicago with smaller portions than in the USA. Good choice on the menu between sweet and savory. Good selection there cocktails. Helpful staff
Must go!! Excellent restaurant
Excellent food, place, view, and staff!!! Food was incredible, tasteful, perfectly and carefully prepared. Staff was so polite, careful and attentive!! The ambiance is amazing and with lots of seating options and a wonderful view to the lake!!
Decent chicken halal sandwich for lunch
The Kitchen Bistro had a decent chicken halal sandwich for lunch, with an interesting mixture of vegetables and spices added to the grilled chicken. The tomato soup & chocolate chunk cookie were also good. The views of the river traffic were also enjoyable.
Great spot on the river
My first time here and really enjoyed it. Loved the atmosphere and the food was good. Will be back my next time in Chicago.

Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.

Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it? |
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid? |
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted. |
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from? |
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered? |
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.

I have some reservations coming up tomorrow that have gotten lots of views but haven’t sold yet. I haven’t made a sale yet since I just joined this week.

Just looking for a little reassurance. Thanks!

This app is a catfish and overrun by people programming “bots” and algorithms. It makes it frustrating for someone not well versed in this to have any movement. I thought this would be a fun side hustle, but unfortunately it’s become like any other “side hustle”. Don’t waste your time with this crap. Not a question, just a suggestion. Also don’t pay these fake “gurus” hundreds of dollars to teach you. Might as well sign up for a software class. 😕
