Best Live Music Restaurants in River West

A great place for a celebratory meal. Vibe is Rat Pack with a side order of 21st century clubstaraunt opulence. Stellar service, hit all the little marks that a lot of places miss these days. Nicci is an outstanding server. Definitely a $$$$ spot, but I think you get better quality for your money than many other steakhouses downtown. Uniquely delicious sausage and peppers; best tuna tartare I've had in ages; over the top king crab pasta. Sunday night they have Prime Rib -- stellar portion and great beef quality. LOVED the coconut cream pie with chocolate mousse NA beverage menu includes zero proof cocktails, wines and beer, nice touch.

Really good experience with great food. Loved the free bread service which you never get anywhere anymore! Linguine and clams was a little too garlicky for me, but the mussels, lamb, small bites, and cauliflower gratin were fantastic. Service was great too.

My friends and I had a wonderful dining experience at Mastro’s to celebrate my friend James’s birthday. The atmosphere was elegant and inviting, creating the perfect setting for a special occasion. The wagyu meatballs were slightly undercooked for my taste, possibly due to my preference for a different beef type. That said, the sea bass stole the show, it was absolutely exceptional, the best I’ve ever had at any restaurant. The sides were also perfectly prepared. The staff and management did a good job of touching our table, checking in to ensure we had a great experience. For dessert, we were treated to the buttercake as part of the birthday celebration. My daughter had highly recommended it, and it lived up to the hype. We all had a fantastic time, and I’m already looking forward to my next visit.

Celebrated my boyfriend’s birthday last night. Our server Juan enhance our dining experience with his exemplary level of service and knowledge of Spanish cuisine. He guided us through the entire dining process from picking out the best steak for our tastes we anre heavy into dry aged steak. He suggested a steak that was a special for the evening and the sides to complement. I’m giving Asador Bastian 4 stars because I wish the portion of the steak tartare was larger. That was a disappointment. Otherwise, the service, ambiance, quality of cuisine was outstanding. Please request Juan to be your server.

I absolutely adored every single thing about this place. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was so warm and inviting—it felt truly magical. The food was beyond delicious, with every bite better than the last. The jazz music added such a classy and soulful touch, creating the perfect ambiance. The entire experience was simply unforgettable, and the decor was absolutely stunning. It’s a place I’ll definitely be raving about and coming back to
