Why go
Book RPM Steak when a River North table wants a substantial steak selection without limiting everyone to beef. The current menu also covers seafood, salads, a cold bar and shared sides; order from the restaurant menu rather than its separate events packages.
In River North, RPM Steak works best when the group wants a classic steakhouse dinner with room for different appetites. The current restaurant menu runs from The Duke ribeye cap and dry-aged New York strip to filets, wagyu, cold seafood and steak frites.
Choose the steak first, then add a salad, a cold-bar starter or shared sides. Parker House rolls and Gruyère popovers are on the restaurant menu too. Seafood and other non-beef dishes make the place workable for a mixed group without recasting it as a tasting-menu restaurant.
The 66 W Kinzie Street restaurant takes reservations through its own site. RPM Events lists separate catering and station menus; those packages should not be mistaken for the regular dining room offering. Check the current restaurant menu before booking if a particular cut or dish matters to your table.
RPM Steak presents a composed, business-minded dining room that leans on classic steakhouse signals. The bi-level layout and a large, wraparound marble bar create a defined, clubby center, while polished black, white, and warm-wood finishes temper the space with quiet luxury. Semicircular booths line the walls, designed for sightlines and low-key privacy, and the usual full-house evenings feed the restaurant’s sense of importance: it’s a place where visibility and tradition carry as much currency as what’s on the plate.
This is a destination for business dinners and milestone meals. The design, deep booths with clear sightlines and a commanding central bar, is calibrated for conversations that matter, and the River North location anchors it in the city’s professional and hospitality circuits. Evenings are busy, so it’s best for groups that want to be seen, clients or colleagues sealing a deal, or anyone marking a special occasion where ambiance and a serious steak program matter as much as the food.
RPM Steak lists nearly two dozen beef cuts, so choose by cut and size before adding sides. The 24-ounce Cowboy Steak is a 28-day prime dry-aged option; the 14-ounce Bone-In Filet offers a different style and portion. The menu also lists sauces and butters, including peppercorn sauce and garlic-rosemary butter. Ask the team which cut and accompaniment best suit the table, and check the current menu before visiting.
Warm, sleek, and moneyed vibe with polished black-white-and wood décor, mahogany walls, giant leather booths, and moody lighting creating a sophisticated yet energetic atmosphere.

Peter Luger Steak HouseNew York CityPeter Luger has been dry-aging USDA Prime beef at its Brooklyn address since 1887, and the Porterhouse remains the reason to book. Cash only, near-impossible to get on weekends, and worth it: particularly for a midweek lunch when the room is calmer. Pearl Recommended in 2025, Michelin Plate, and ranked No. 25 on Robb Report's 50 Best Steakhouses in North America.
IlisNew York CityIlis is Mads Refslund's Nordic-American tasting menu restaurant in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, ranked #61 on OAD North America 2025 and Esquire's #1 Best New Restaurant in 2023. The four- and seven-course menus rotate with the seasons, drawing on regional sourcing for dishes that run earthy and precise rather than rich. Booking is relatively easy for Manhattan fine dining, with dinner service Tuesday through Saturday.
Chapter OneLondonChapter One in Locksbottom holds a Michelin Plate and OAD Classical Europe ranking while charging £££: well below the ££££ of comparable London fine dining. With decades of consistency, it is the most compelling special occasion booking in Southeast London. Book Thursday or Friday lunch for the best value; Saturday dinner for full atmosphere.
