Might be the best Lobster Roll I have ever day! Sorry Boston MA and Milford CT lol. The lobster was fresh and cooked perfectly and the roll/texas toast was buttery and toasted perfectly. The Fries were salted perfectly as well. This place is always crowded (so plan ahead) luckily got a seat at the bar. The Ralph Lauren brand is distinguished and classic and the restaurants layout and vibe definitely embodies the brand.

I've come here for many special occasions: anniversaries, dinner dates, and even my 21st birthday! It is very up-scale and classy, but there isn't pressure to be dressed to the nines. The patio is amazing to utilize in the summer. The food and service are amazing, as well. I stick with a burger and fries, but they do it really well. I also tried the crab cakes which were delicious. I like coming here because they have a vegan burger, so my boyfriend and I are able to dine together. Can't wait for my next visit!

Didn't know RL had a restaurant next to their store! A must if you can get a reservation. - All the food was great! Looking at some of other Yelp reviews, I noticed a few things that were not on the menu. Just ask! Like the crab cakes and the apple pie! - Service was great! We closed out the restaurant and they let us stay till we finished our meal and drinks. - Great vibes inside, the front bar can get packed but it was nice to enjoy a drink before our table was ready.

You would think that this restaurant is catchy, but it's absolutely not! It has a wonderful location and the decor is so tasteful! - The cuisine is fresh and delicious. I enjoyed the extent of the menu. - The service is kind and welcoming, as well as appropriately paced. I very much like the energy in the dining room.

Waiting for the day Mark Lee comes to visit~ RL is a real gem, especially during the holiday season. The interior feels warm and cozy, like stepping into a luxurious dining room. It's an inviting space, though it can get a bit crowded at times. For me, the burger was cooked to perfection. RL delivers on ambiance and taste, making it a great spot for a special meal, despite the mild claustrophobia. -AT

My daughter and I enjoyed dessert & wine at RL after dinner at a nearby restaurant. We walked in without a reservation, unsure if they'd be able to accommodate us. Luckily, there was an open table, so we were seated pretty quickly. I chose the Key Lime pie, and my daughter selected the RL brownie. Both were decadent! It was a fabulous way to end a great day!

Perfect for an afternoon lunch. I came in one afternoon after some shopping with no reservation, they were quick to accommodate us. Service: 5/5 professional and attentive. The staff here elevated our lunch and upheld the RL name Food: 4/5 I found my veggie burger to be absolutely delicious. As well as the bourbon chocolate cake at the end...my only comment would be maybe the inclusion of another vegetarian option Overall would highly recommend this restaurant. I would definitely come back here again

This is RL so of COURSE the decor and environment is sophisticated and lovely. But I was curious whether the food would match the surroundings. One bite into my juicy, flavorful burger convinced me that the RL restaurant is totally legit and not the brand's fancy afterthought. Such addictive fries, too! Enjoyed a lovely ladies lunch followed by take away coffees from the adorable café connected to the front of the store & an obligatory pic with the RL bear! Will be back the next time we are shopping on Michigan Ave and hope to score patio seating!

RL BURGER 8.3/10 (Tomato, Lettuce, Onions, Pickles, Cheddar Cheese & Crispy Bacon with Hand-Cut Fries) - order mine medium and came out very very pink. Good burger but would probably get something new next time DOVER SOLE 8.9/10 (Pan-Seared with Meyer Lemon Butter Sauce) - love the lemon butter. Great light fish. SIDES 1st Green Beans with Shallots - delicious! 2nd Mashed Potatoes - didn't have any garlic or butter flavor though 3rd Hand-Cut Fries Staff was kind. No reservations and no wait Sunday 8:00 pm ish

I had been wanting to try this place for quite some time; however I was really underwhelmed by the ambiance. The decor was beautiful, but it was very brightly lit and loud inside to give off touristy vibes. People were clearly stopping in from out of town and shopping along Michigan ave, so I guess I should have expected this vs a more romantic atmosphere. Service was still great though. We had a couple of drinks, including some delicious glasses of wine with our seafood tower. The seafood was very fresh and excellent quality, which I would expect for the price. Because of the atmosphere though we decided to have our entree elsewhere. Next time I'll have to see if the patio is better for my taste!
