And last but surely not least, RPM Seafood is taking dinner-goers on a $55, three-course deep dive complete with options like Red Chili Ceviche, Housemade Linguini and Clams, Roasted Norwegian Halibut, and Hazelnut Praline with salted caramel. Over at RPM Italian, dinner guests can trade $55 for a diverse four-course selection of antipasti (think Prime Beef Meatballs, Guiliana’s Italian Salad), handmade pastas, luxe entrees like Suckling Pig Porchetta and Eggplant Parmesan alla Mioni, and Bomboloni for dessert.

Make like a Martini-sipping Mad Men star at RPM Steak’s snazzy $25 three-course lunch (Cauliflower Veloute or Baby Gem Salad, Roasted Spanish Dorade or Grilled Chicken Brochette, Nutella Bread Pudding or 14K Chocolate Cake) then stick around for the three-course, $55 supper, teeming with succulent options like Tuna Crudo, Local Strip Loin, and Wild Mushroom Risotto.

River North’s RPM trifecta is at it again this Restaurant Week, presenting their high-brow takes on modern chops, Italian classics, and ocean-fresh seafood for low-brow prices. “From Bronzeville to Chinatown and Devon Avenue, you can go on an adventurous gastronomical global tour without ever leaving the city.” HaiSous “Chicago Restaurant Week offers residents and visitors alike a unique opportunity to experience the unparalleled culinary and cultural richness of our great city and its neighborhoods,' said Choose Chicago board chair Glenn Eden in a recent press release. The 15th annual dining showcase brings together over 300 standout restaurants throughout the city and suburbs, serving multi-course lunch and prix-fixe dinner menus at unbeatable prices from Friday, March 25 through Sunday, April 10. Patrick’s Day river-dyeing ceremony and baseball’s (alleged) return to Wrigleyville comes yet another seasonal celebration: Chicago Restaurant Week.

The weather is warming, slowly but surely, COVID-19 restrictions are loosening their grip, and the air is finally starting to swap snowflakes for ragweed pollen-yes, springtime in Chicago is upon us once again.
