River North barely seems to support the scale of designer Chris Smith's vision. Great sheets of glass, unfinished wood, black steel and stone compose the elevation--a Disney-esque naturalism continued into gigantic interior spaces. Floor one boasts a main dining room and cavernous bar, but it's not that simple; stairwells, passageways and balconies suggest intricate space, a complexity that's carried upstairs and to the stunning rooftop lounge. Waiters, who are also chefs, weave through the whole jumble, deftly handling skewers of meat and preciously composed bites. A diverse, well-dressed…

Drinks only !!
by toddl
So get over it people, it is a beautiful place with crazy views.
Just go for the drinks and the great space. You set yourself up for disappointment when you go thinking you are going to have a great meal and superior service. Just don't. Chicago has plenty of great places to go to after you have a few drinks here.
- Pros: Beautiful, stunning views
- Cons: Spendy, Surly, Snippy

Love the lounge area!!!

Oh my gosh! If you enjoy beautiful architecture and delicious food, you have got to go ZED. I love, absolutely love, the cranberry spiced old fashioned. And I can't begin to describe the food. I mean fresh grilled fish, perfectly medium rare meat (just the way I like it), perfectly moist cornbread. I really couldn't get enough...I even had to help myself to some dessert, which I have renamed chocolate heaven. This is the perfect place to come if you are in the mood to indulge in a great meal.
- Pros: Food, cocktails, architecture

BRUTAL service and so-so overpriced food.
by TPav20
Went to Zed451 to celebrate my wedding anniversary and was EXTREMELY disappointed. The service was lousy at best as our waitress not helpful at all. When we began our meal, the servers seemed to all flock to our table at once. After about 10 minutes of that, they rarely came back. We asked our waitress if she could send some servers over who were carrying the meats that we enjoyed most. They NEVER came. The salad bar was OK but pales in comparison to other Brazilian style steak houses. We dropped $150 and were COMPLETELY unsatisfied. If your looking for a similar style restaurant in this area, I'd suggest Brazzaz. Don't go to ZED451 if your looking for quality service and a wide variety.
- Pros: decor and ambience
- Cons: service, salad bar selection and value
The Details on Zed 451
Know Before You Go:
Smokers will be pained to discover that lighting up on the lush rooftop oasis is prohibited. That's right: You may not smoke outside.
Where to Sit:
If it is at all pleasant outdoors, get yourself to the rooftop. There, you will discover sodded sitting areas, excellent Konstantin Grcic stools, a cut-through to the bar below and cabana-like private booths.
The Extras:
The kitchen remains at full steam until 11pm---not terribly late for the nightlife area. But wait 12 hours and it opens again on Saturdays for an international brunch service
