“To our delight, out come 2 excellent desserts: a crème brulee and a chocolate/hazelnut ice cream.”
“I'm surprised to see bad reviews on here, we thought the food was delicious and our waiter was really nice.”
“We took out time deciding which was no problem at all since our server, Tony, was without a doubt one of the best waiters to ever work in a new and trendy restaurant.”

Great experience!. Overall- GREAT dining experience. The service was impeccable. Very attentive staff and the food was out of this world. The bill was $150 before tip for the two of us... only 3 drinks were ordered... Great for group dining... or a romantic date for two. Very cool scene too... the bar was hoppin!…
Great food, amazing service.
I have probably been to Epic about 4 or 5 times since the opening in October of 2009 and have always been a fan. And it's because of their scallops.
Probably one of my favorite things about the restaurant is that it is a little of everything, a great cocktail lounge and bar, restaurant, and now with the addition of Epic Sky, a rooftop as well.
Other notable menu items to try are the House Gnocchi made with lamb sausage, swiss chard and a fennel beurre blanc-which is outstanding (and has been ordered as an entree in the past-because why not).…
Citysearch Editorial Review. Everything about Epic is decadent, from the massive downstairs bar always packed with trendsetters, to the upstairs restaurant draped in dark wood and floor-to-ceiling windows. The River North restaurant feels rich and luxurious, and the same can be said of chef Stephen Wambach’s menu of contemporary American dishes with a French twist. The menu is reminiscent of a steakhouse with a raw bar and a light and refreshing tuna tartare for starters. As would be expected, the selection of steaks is top-notch (strip, rib-eye, filet), but fish gets its due with the halibut en croute, garnished with artichokes. Most of the sophisticated diners end the meal with something sweet--the raspberry-filled sugar dusted doughnuts, perhaps--before heading downstairs for a cocktail in the lounge.…
An Epic Evening. I brought my parents into Epic while they were visiting Chicago and we had an amazing time! I'm surprised to see bad reviews on here, we thought the food was delicious and our waiter was really nice. My favorite thing was the house made gnocchi , it was melt in your mouth good. I think this place is going to get really popular really fast, go on a weekday before it fills up!!…
Bad News!.
Last night-A man pushed a woman down that was dancing too close to him. I told security, but they allowed him to stay after they realized how drunk the girl was. Really? The jerk & his friends were
making rude comments to me the rest of the night and trying to intimidate me...I told a manger and he said the girl was really drunk & the guy was not, so they had to believe him over her.
I told them I didnt know either one & my whole group saw it happen...and I said "If you think the girl is too drunk, why are you still serving her more to drink?!!"
This place is a joke!…
