River East Plaza

So a bunch of girlfriends and I went on a Friday after work. We were all starving but the menu left us with very limited choices. After ordering 4 or 5 appetizers we were still starving so not the best place to go if your hungry even though the food is tasty. The mixed drinks were kinda pricey which is pretty standard for most restaurants but at least if you ordered the big beer you got a souvenir glass to take home. I would definately go again maybe just not on the same night of highschool dance bc the place flooded with teenie boppers screaching at one another.

This long warehouse was originally designed by Christian Eckstorm in 1920. Booth Hansen & Associates successfully converted it into the busy North Pier complex of dining establishments and offices in 1990. Then ultra-touristy Navy Pier came along and blew North Pier into near-oblivion. It was rechristened with little fanfare as River East Plaza in 1999 and has Dick's Last Resort, Fox & Obel, and the River East Art Center as the most noticeable tenants, but it is a far cry from its North Pier heyday.
