Artichoke pizza was delish, black bean burger left a little wanting but fries made up for it. I’ll be thinking of the pizza for a while! You order at a window and get seated by a hostess at an open table and the food will be brought to you. Lots of seating, we didn’t have a reservation but were able to sit right on the river which was absolutely stunning. For two drinks, pizza, and a burger: 60. Very reasonable for eating right on the water.

This is a nice Mexican restaurant with good food and views. I went here and was satisfied with my experience. This restaurant is located on the Riverwalk and it only has outdoor seating, so all of the seats have a beautiful view of the Wrigley Building, Trump Tower, and all of the other adjacent skyscrapers west of the DuSable Bridge. This restaurant has tables with two and four chairs as well as a row of hightop seats with a view of the Chicago River. I walked by here at 10:00 am and the restaurant was blasting Romeo Santos, so I decided I’d eat lunch here so I could eat with an excellent view while listening to some exquisite music. However, when I came back here at 12 they were playing Cumbia music instead, so I was a little disappointed. However, I still got my food from here. I got the Thai Shrimp Taco for 6, which was a purple tortilla with shrimp, pico de gallo, and some other stuff. The tacos tasted amazing, but the portion was pretty small so I got a second one. The second one tasted as good as the first. The tacos shells tasted good, the shrimp tasted excellent, and the sauce used in this dish tasted excellent as well. I gave this restaurant five stars because it has great food with a great view for a great price. I still got a good deal even after buying two meals.

Fun experience and delicious margaritas. They had a DJ playing 2000s hits and I loved it. The atmosphere was incredible and the night was perfect. So much fun for our last night!!

I had the house made black bean burger with vegan cheddar and vegan mayo. It was incredibly delicious! My Omni daughter even ordered one, and was impressed with how good it is! You can also get a Beyond version as well. The service was fast and friendly! It was really fun sitting on the River Walk watching boats pass by while eating dinner.

Great drinks and food right on the river!! Great service as well and great prices honestly. The view is spectacular while you eat! Careful for bees outside in general because they stole one of those tacos in the picture.

Beat kitchen is one of very good restaurants near Riverwalk. We got table reservation adjacent to waterfront in river walk lane. It’s really amazing place! We enjoyed the great evening moments Enjoyed Pop music songs and Asian songs Make sure you should reserve a table near waterfront which is excellent look. Trump tower was clear view from our table Must visit the place in Riverwalk Staff service very good!
