River Roast offers striking views of the Chicago River along with whole fish, tender roast beef and apple wood-smoked chicken carved tableside. Add on some comforting sides like mac & cheese with garlic herb breadcrumbs and crispy fried potatoes, but save room for a massive slice of carrot and parsnip cake layered with cream cheese icing and crowned with golden fried carrot shavings.
