What people say, in short
RPM Steak is a recurring choice for a modern steakhouse rather than an old-school room. One diner specifically praises its steak, oysters, chilled seafood and caviar service, while others rank it among their favorite Chicago steakhouses. A diner who has tried its New York strips describes both excellent and blander cuts, so the praise does not amount to a consistency guarantee. Its steaks should not be confused with those at the separate RPM Italian restaurant.
