Old Dearborn Bank Building

Brooke and Sebastian were exceptionally friendly and helpful. We were visiting from Columbus Ohio and stopped in for a quick dinner. The food is all made in house and spectacular. I had pizza and my husband had a burger. They were like no burger or pizza we had ever seen or tasted. Fresh, delicious, perfect. And the atmosphere was classy and comfortable. Miss Ricky is top notch all the way around!

Really great food! Service was a little slow but friendly. Pricing was reasonable for Chicago.

We had both an amazing dinner and a satisfying breakfast at Miss Ricky's. For our dinner we enjoyed the Tuna Crudo which was a delicious serving of yellowfin tuna on a plate perfectly spiced with chilis. We also loved the Seared Black Sea Bass and Charred Octopus. Both were unique dishes that were quite enjoyable. On our visit for breakfast we had the Avadcado Toast with two eggs Sunnyside up. This was enough to get our day started. Over all we were very impressed with Miss Ricky's as the service was top notch and their dinner was outstanding.

Wait staff was great, very kind & attentive. Atmosphere is cute, comfy couches to sit on inside & outdoor seating for warmer months. Food was good. Croissant Sandwich was very good. Shakshuka was good, but so hot the eggs were over cooked. Pita to accompany was great. Very filling.

Yeah I probably wouldn't eat here again. The food is average at best and pretty boring imo. Could use a lot more seasoning. This place is really cute inside and the service is phenomenal. I have noticed that when I'm in Chicago I feel like the servers are so nice everywhere I go (I'm from the east coast). The servers here are very nice. Ambiance was good for a business dinner maybe a liiitttllee on the tacky side. There's a led red light on the entrance hall and some sort of clothing set piece that makes it feel a tad bar like but in general it felt ok for business casual. Food was a hit or miss. The apps were generally passable, the curry cauliflower was pretty boring but tasted fine, same with the octopus. I felt like the bread we had was the standout. entrees totally a miss. My polenta was completely bland and the carrots were sweet but didn't taste like much other than just a cooked carrot. The short rib was very well cooked and super tender but when I bit into it it had zero flavor. Such a bummer bc the cook was perfect. Super juicy meat just no flavor at all. The entire dish was bland so I actually didn't finish it and snacked on the leftover apps. Wish I would've liked this more but very little could've helped, everything needed more seasoning beyond just a little s&p and hot sauce. Oh well. Overall there are so many restaurants in Chicago I would just go elsewhere.

Service was a tad slow. It took a while for the food to come out but certainly one of the nicer places to dine. The seats are comfortable, chic interior. There is something for everyone on the menu. We had some kids so we got the pepperoni pizza which was actually pretty good. We also got the chicken entrée which felt a little tad overcooked, but it was fine. The cauliflower appetizer was actually very nice. The Bolognese was presented well and the flavors didn't stand out too much. It was recommended By the staff. Certain items were a tad pricier than I would've expected.

What a perfect place for a team luncheon! For the Christmas lunch, the team decides on Miss Ricky's. What a perfect choice! For starters, the menu offers an array of brunch options: omelets, potatoes with bacon and sausage, spaghetti and chicken sandwiches. Ricky's Omelet stands out on the menu. It comes with spinach, brocoli, mushrooms, goat cheese and a side of fruit. It tastes fresh and perfect. My colleagues ordered breakfast items. They like eating the food. The service tends to be slower as we went as a bigger group. No problem! We talked about our pets, family and food. The ambiance feels relaxed. I really like the tie decor around the entrance. It gives the place a ton of character and it looks fun. A restaurant that serves good fun and it does not take itself too seriously. I describe Miss Ricky's as the perfect place for a business lunch or a place to take our friends to. Come to Miss Ricky's.

This restaurant is located just next to virgin Hotel. We wanted to grab a quick dinner before going out for the night and Miss Ricky's was a great choice. The service staff is very attentive. They seem to phase out servers aggressively as we basically had three different servers throughout our meal not to worry as service was outstanding throughout. We started with a half portion of the salad. The server suggested we get the smaller portion and it was a perfect choice. We shared a mushroom cream sauce skillet served with crunchy rustic bread. The dish could use just a touch of salt but was very good quite rich. We share the pork scallopini and pasta carbonara we did not go hungry as the portions are pretty large after dinner. We popped upstairs to check out the bar in the hotel very cool space. Great evening

This was my favorite breakfast place we tried during our trip to Chicago on our last morning in the city! As a frequent vacationer to Mexico, I love chilaquiles and was so excited to see them offered at so many Chicago restaurants for brunch, but the ones I had here were some of the best I ever had! My husband had the eggs Benedict with the pastrami smoked salmon which was also some of the best smoked salmon we have tried, and we enjoyed our cold brew coffees and mimosas here as well! Service and food overall were excellent!

Miss. Ricky's never disappoints! The stuffed French toast and coffee are heavenly The decor is retro virgin!

Very well decorated and comfortable indoors. The service is attentive and quick. The food was fine, but pricey for the quality, which was a little above average. I do like for the egg white omelet that it didn't taste like it was from a mix, as it didn't have that powdery aftertaste. The coffee was delicious!

Came here last weekend for dinner but was disappointed from the moment I spoke to the hostess for my table. I had a reservation at 9:30 and arrived 10 min late. The guy at the hostess stand was immediately sarcastic and appalled I arrived and asked me if my reservations was for "today". I was like... ofcourse for today. He proceeded to give me the table but I also noticed the female waiter rolled her eyes because of the time and that I was seated. Honestly, If you're going to treat your customers like that, just decline the reservation. The menu seemed promising though, me and my partner ordered pastas. The presentation of the food looked great but the taste was unfortunately bad. Also ordered a Cesar salad that was average. Dinner was over in 30 mins and I will not be returning there. Hard to find bad tasting food in Chicago, but this was one of them.

Such a good Brunch spot! Right in downtown. The quirky entrance instantly boosts your mood. The inside itself is more upscale than I expected. The staff is super friendly. I loved our waitress, she was so upbeat and had all the recommendations. I got the chicken and waffles and it was delicious! The chicken had good flavor and the waffle was crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside. It came with an egg, which I appreciated because most Chicken & waffles dishes don't come with one. They had high quality maple syrup, another way this dish was enhanced. The Mimosa was perfect (wink wink). My friend had the Salmon benedict and really enjoyed it her meal. I would love to try more dishes next time I am in town.

The food was fine but the service was exceptional to the point that it brightened my day.

Looking for a breakfast spot near our hotel and discovered Miss Ricky's on YELP. The place was so nice in ambiance, seating and helpful wait staff, we ate here twice in 3 days (would have been 3 if I'd discovered it on the first day!) I had the BEST LOX I've ever eaten- so buttery and soft in texture served on an everything bagel with pickled red onions and capers. And the side of fruit was fabulous- someone is selecting sweet ripe fruit to serve- yum! Breakfast pizza is offered with 3 toppings. For lighter fare, my other friend ordered a pancake ala carte one morning, and the waffle the next- perfect. While cappuccinos are not listed on the menu they do serve. Wish I had a Miss RIcky's in my neighborhood. :-)

Had the Pappardelle al Salmone--light dill, fresh flavor, and delicate pasta. The place was busy and a bit loud, but it had a lively atmosphere that's perfect for a larger group.

Miss Ricky's was one of the few places within walking distance of the hotel to accommodate a group at the time we needed. It's a bright, open spot in the Virgin Hotel with large windows to the street and a bar opposite. At the time we arrived it was at the end of the happy hour, it wasn't too busy. We all ordered one of the drink specials. Because none of us were particularly hungry right then we opted for some of the happy hour food specials but a few also picked some things off the main menu -- most of which was Italian inspired.. The service was outstanding. The waitress really did a great job for us and accommodating our group. The dinner menu isn't that large and that's makes it much simpler to choose. What Miss Ricky's does do, they do well. The only ding for me were the happy hour special drinks. They weren't that good, and I didn't see that any of us finished it.

The food here was great, and I would return. It seems like they really know Italian food, more than you'd think from the cutesy name and "hotel restaurant" status it occupies. At first, it was a bit annoying. They are understaffed, and it is apparent. One host (?) was going over a takeout order with a woman for 5-10 minutes without acknowledging our party or anyone behind us. I always find waiting in line for a while just for host stand acknowledgement a bit off-putting. Still, when the host got to us, he was polite and sat us right away without us needing reservations. I think the service was a bit uneven. My husband ordered his drink while I was in the bathroom, so it certainly makes sense that he got it first. Still, after I ordered mine, it took about 10-15 minutes (the women next to us seemed to get their main courses 15ish minutes apart from each other too, which is unfortunate). It is definitely a creative drink, with honey, lemon, and other ingredients I forgot, plus a sage leaf to garnish! But it tasted a bit strange to me, almost like dish cleaning solution. Still, taste is subjective, especially with cocktails, so you might enjoy it and find my opinion to be "out there." BTW, the bathrooms are indeed outside of the restaurant and upstairs, then in a badly lit second floor without much signage. It's not great! I'm still giving four stars because the food is amazing!!! The Caesar salad was a hit, with a bit of celery for some nice texture and variety (I can't believe we ordered it so soon after the Ides of March...have we no shame?!?). The pappardelle Bolognese was tremendously good, on par with what I've had in Italy. It smelled amazing, was in a sensible portion, and so packed with flavor. I think their pasta dishes in general are supposed to be terrific! And I think the waiter noticed how uneven the pacing had been for our table and others, so the main course turnaround was surprisingly quick. This is overall a great option in the Loop without being touristy or overly pretentious - just well made food! :)

Ambiance - Inviting Service - Great Food - Latte - delicious They have a full espresso bar - order away Shakshuka with pita - really good Country sourdough toast with avocado, mushrooms, peppers - really good Would visit again

Everything was over the top delicious. Jeremy, our server, guided us through the menu and was attentive and lighthearted throughout. The ambience complete with seating on plush sofas felt opulent and casual at the same time. Miss Ricky's was an ideal place to dine prior to my wife and I attending the theater. For appetizers, the focaccia melted in our mouths and the ample sized farmer's carrots made for yummy root vegetables. Our entrees were all flawless and creatively dressed to the nines, including lobster spinach ravioli, risotto di fungi misti, and charred octopus. My wife enjoyed Prosecco and, they make a mean martini! We topped the meal off with delicious tiramisu and a cup of cappuccino. We will be back; highly recommended!

Great service, delicious food. Staff very friendly. Comfortable seating, nice decor. My 5 year old loves it and wants to move to Chicago bc of Miss Ricky's. ¨

$9 oatmeal was portioned for a two year old. No extra anything. Just 7 spoonfuls. Ridiculous. I've ordered oatmeal all over the world and I can honestly say this is the absolute worst. Oh, if you are paying your tab using your room number the gratuity is included. They don't tell you this so you end up double tipping.

Go here!!! It smells like a dream when you walk in. The staff (especially Brooke ) are so friendly and nice. The food is fantastic - the omelette is no joke one of the best I've ever had. We eat breakfast out quite frequently and this place is especially cozy, friendly and delicious. The coffee was hot and strong and the breakfast pizza was just a joy.

Egg-ceptional omelettes (I tried Ricky's Veggie and The "L"). Also, enjoyed the Chicago spin on Shrimp & Grits. Super staff -- kudos to hostess Jenny and waitress Maddy.

It was my first time dining at Miss Ricky's on Saturday night. My cousins pick the place for dinner. I'm so glad they did. It was fabulous. This restaurant is in the Virgin Hotel. We started out with cocktails, a couple of old fashioneds, a dirty martini and a comfortably numb. The old-fashioned was so tasty, with tobacco bitters and tea in the cocktail. The comfortably numb with mezcal and grapefruit was smoky good. The table share the housemade focaccia served in a little skillet. My husband had the tortellini special for Saturday night. The tortellini was perfectly cooked to al dente, and it had added texture from the crispy parmesan. I had the charred octopus with purple rice and avocado purée. This was amazing! The table shared the tiramisu for dessert, which was so creamy and light. Our server was Omar, and he went out of his way to make sure we got out on time to see our show at the Chicago Theater. Service was great, food was delicious and I love the atmosphere, especially the round booths. This is a small restaurant, so make sure you make reservations. We'll definitely be back!

A nice hidden gem in the Virgin Hotel with a range of options from salads to pizza to pasta to steak. The seating is comfortable with "couches" or traditional tables, and the staff are great. We had a well-paced, relaxed meal and every dish was quite solid. The seafood risotto was nice prepared and the truffle steak fries excellent - flavorful and not overly greasy and salty. It's worth a visit as the ambiance is great for a business or catch-up meal, and the service amazing.

The hostess was extremely nice. It's a cute and cozy spot with great food. The waitress made me feel very special on my birthday.

It was meh. Too salty Frozen avocado. I had to scrape off some cheese. Bagel was toasted but cold.. I wouldn't want to come back. Their chicken and waffle was good though.

Had both dinner and breakfast here on a recent visit. For dinner, the mushroom risotto was amazing! Breakfast sandwich the next morning was perfect. Friendly atmosphere, knowledgeable wait staff, a big success.

Very small portions for such a high price. Service and ambiance were good though. Omelette was okay, pasta was so underwhelming, everything else was also just okay.

Dined on a Wednesday night and it was a slow night but picked up by the time we left. The beet salad was earthy and fresh, with tangy and bright goat cheese. I ordered the margarita pizza and it was flavorful, well seasoned with a crispy yet chewy crust. Not pictured is the cheesecake which was creamy and dense in just the right way. Served with a berry compote and fresh berries. Our server was absolutely delightful, checking in throughout the meal and promptly with our drink service too. This is a little gem, will definitely visit again while in Chicago!

I met a friend for breakfast at Miss Ricky's and we really enjoyed our meal! For starters, our waitress (unfortunately, I didn't get her name) was friendly, efficient, and very helpful.  She did everything with a smile, including offering us spot-on recommendations. Tip: Parking here is pretty typical; you have a choice of valet, metered parking on the street, or a pricey, nearby garage. Our food was excellent, especially the delicious French Toast; it also had an enormous portion size.  My friend said her omelet was heavenly :-) Highly recommended!.

Maddy gave us a wonderful experience at brunch and made sure our coffee cups were always full. They also had perfectly crispy bacon and eggs

I didn't see many recent reviews about the dinner but it was solid. Husband got the lamb, I got the salmon pappardelle and these were the standouts. I would skip the Cesar Salad it was pretty dry. We got the octopus to share as well and it had this delicious purple rice with it. Server was great but service was a little slow towards the end of the night. Overall, solid dinner and would recommend to eat at while staying at the Virgin

Amazing food, cooked exactly how i wanted, nice service, not a long wait! The stuffed french toast was the best desert i've ever had, the restaurant was clean and elegant, i had a very nice and professional waitress named Christina. I would visit again for sure.

Overpriced! I don't know if they are short staffed or not but I saw people countlessly ask if they were supposed to seat themselves. It's not clear and they weren't friendly. No hostess present and it took them a long time to acknowledge every party. I wouldn't come back again based on the service and especially with all of the choices available in Chicago. I ordered the breakfast sandwich, it was ok. I think I would have rather gone to Starbucks.

The food is amazing and the service is impeccable. Our server was so welcoming and funny as anything! They made great recommendations and the food did not disappoint. The Bloody Mary is well seasoned, and the lobster cake benedict was to die for. I'll definitely be back!!

Sometimes, you just need a simple brunch with an easy to understand menu, and chill service. Miss Ricky's is located in the virgin hotel and is exactly that. When you're downtown, there aren't a ton of laid-back options for breakfast, especially if you don't want to opt for a chain restaurant, but Miss Ricky's fits the bill. I was able to get in on a Saturday morning without a reservation and was seated within about 15 minutes. The menu is very simple with your favorites like French toast, avocado toast, and chicken and waffles. I ordered their two egg breakfast with potatoes and bacon and added a side of French toast. I always like to say that if a restaurant can do basic breakfast items well, then you're in good hands. Miss Ricky's does not disappoint. The eggs were soft and a little creamy, the bacon was perfectly fried, and the potatoes well seasoned. The French toast was deliciously sweet. Lastly, I got a mimosa to wash it all down, it was unexpectedly strong, but I didn't drive, so all good If you are visiting Chicago, and just want a simple, lowkey breakfast, this is the place!

This place was just down the street from our hotel and was absolutely scrumptious. Their pancakes and maple syrup were delicious as well as their cream cheese french toast. I will say their cream cheese french toast is very unique, definitely on the more savory side. But if you have a sweet tooth you can always opt to drown your french toast in syrup!

Great hospitality, delicious food and a pleasant ambiance. We had: _mushroom risotto - 4 starts _angel hair like spaghetti with spicy tomato base sauce that was delicious - 5 stars _Santa Spritzer - 5 stars They take RSVP

Dinner was amazing. I am surprised this place wasn't packed. We ordered the Spaghetti Carbonara, Pappardelle Bolognese, and the Lasagne for dinner, and we each thought our dish was the best of the three... so needless to say we were all very happy with our meals. The fresh made pasta was such a treat. We topped it off with the Apple Pie and Tiramisu, and argued again about which was better. Winners all around! The ambience was warm and inviting, and casual and cozy. There was an enticing cocktail menu and over fired pizzas also which we didn't have time to try - but hope to on our next visit. Kid friendly as well as great for a date. Special shout out to Tony, Earl, and Pierre for their friendly hospitality and excellent food and wine recommendations.

Re brunch. Fairly empty on a Saturday AM. It's interesting they hand out TripAdvisor cards and are rated the #1 restaurant in the city because of that. It's fine and no major complaints, but the food is very average. Bloody Mary was good and the service was excellent. My lox bagel was subpar the bagel was hard and the lox wasn't the best quality. The shakshuka was enjoyed by my family. The shrimp and grits less so.

Great everything. Unique atmosphere. Hope food will be as good. Service is very good as well.

The location was good and I really wanted to like it, the food was decent, not earth shattering and the service was mediocre.

I had the Ricky omelet and my husband had the Farmer - both were excellent! The breakfast potatoes were deliciously seasoned. I would definitely come back when we are back in Chicago.

Fantastic service, Jeremy was great! The lobster spinach ravioli was sooo good. And the focaccia bread was amazing. Definitely recommended and will be back!

Service was slow. Seemed like each server maybe thought a different server had us, while none of them did. Standard breakfast fare. Tasty, served warm and bloody mary's were on point!

Cute little breakfast spot with a lot of choices and nice staff. The food is good, I can't say that it stands out in a unique way, but I also can't complain. I've had the garlic spinach and french-style ham eggs benedict, as well as the breakfast sandwich. All three were pretty good and fresh. The coffee and orange juice here were good too. Service is good, though a little bit slow because they only had 1-2 people in the room, which is totally understandable. The biggest selling point for us was the convenience of having this cafe inside the virgin hotel!

I was scrolling online and came this early morning breakfast spot and couldn't pass it up. The idea of being hungry at 8 am on a Saturday didn't sit right with me so I decided to pop in. Thankfully, the restaurant accepted walk in's, so getting a table and grub didn't seem too far fetched after I was ushered to my table. Parking was typical, valet, street meter parking or a high priced garage. Food was amazing and the Bellini was the perfect beverage to work in concert with my meal. Pricing was affordable food and morning cocktail under $30 bucks so I'll take it. The staff was pretty nice too, I don't remember my servers name but everyone was smiling and very pleasant early on so I'd definitely recommend this spot!
