And you thought old Ralph Lauren only sold clothes and brewed perfume! Plush and wood-trimmed, RL aims, and succeeds, at achieving a sophisticated, club-like atmosphere. Here among the darkly dressed walls, you can experience Ralph's taste in things gastronome. Menu items include insalata romana—romaine leaves, parmigiano and classic caesar dressing, and fettuccinealla trapanese—homemade pasta,...

Editorial reviews from the web (6) view all

"Jackie O would be at home" at this "elegant" Gold Coast American, a Ralph Lauren production that "solidly delivers" with "delicious", "stylish" dishes in an "old-school" wood and leather space where you can "rub elbows with Chicago society"; if it's "expensive", that just makes it a "special event" kind of place.

Power brokers, moneyed locals, and Michigan Avenue shoppers keep the revolving doors spinning at RL, the initials of designer Ralph Lauren who lent his name and signature soigné style to the eatery that adjoins his Polo/Ralph Lauren store. Inside, cozy leather banquettes are clustered under hunt-club-style art hung on wood-paneled walls. The menu of American classics, including crab Louis,...

RL Restaurant Review

RL (appended to the Ralph Lauren store) is a retro-classic restaurant that’s --- surprise, surprise --- impressive. The atmosphere is as clubby as you’d expect, the walls papered with pictures of every size and style. As for the menu, it’s awash in familiar American dishes, like shrimp cocktail with gin cocktail sauce, bone-in rib-eye and bananas Foster. Sharp, tuxedoed waiters do a lot of the...

RL is a bona fide class act all around, but would you have expected anything less from the master of American designer apparel? Ralph Lauren's eponymous all-American steakhouse is housed in his multilevel boutique in the heart of the Mag Mile, and most diners look as though they've stepped out of one of his ads. The venue's dark wood accents, roaring fireplace and elegant dining room/lounge fit...

The food was absolutely delicious and the ambiance was wonderful. Our servers were very accommodating. I would recommend this spot to anyone looking for a good meal or in need of a restaurant for a special occasion.

Design of space typical Ralph Lauren, which is not necessarily a negative ... food was not particularly inspiring - I had fish fingers & a traditional sundae ... a few of staff on pretentious side, which is not unusual for a Ralph Lauren environment...

Tips about this business (3)

When to Go

During the summer months, the outdoor sidewalk cafe is the place to be. These coveted spots go fast – as do the reservations in general.

Where to Sit

In wintertime (or when the weather is frigid), snag a table in front of the warm fireplace. It’s the coziest spot in the house.

Look Good

Dress to impress; everyone else does at this spot. Business suits and dresses rule.
