Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

- Potomac_11Potomac, MD495 contributionsThis is a beautiful venue for a concert. We saw a performance of chamber music which we much enjoyed.

- IrinaUnited States14,602 contributionsLocated it the Cathedral District of downtown Chicago (not far from N Michigan Ave), St. James Cathedral is a historic Episcopal Church, that was founded in 1834. It is the oldest church of the Anglican Communion in the Chicago area, and it belongs to the group of 125 churches -- the Episcopal Diocese of Chicago.
Rebuilt after the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, the church later received the status of cathedral, formally in 1955.
Originally designed in Gothic Revival and Victorian architecture styles, St. James Cathedral is strikingly beautiful. The nave and sanctuary are very spacious, the architecture details -- arches, trusses, artwork, decorations of the walls -- are beautiful and exquisite, as well as the finely painted glass windows, that date back to the 19th century.
During my visit to the cathedral, I had a chance to see Spoken Eucharist (Noonday Eucharist) service, done on weekdays for the neighborhood community. I also talked to a custodian, who couldn't be friendlier, and gave me a printed brochure about St. James Cathedral, which is very informative and descriptive.
St. James Cathedral is also actively involved in hosting various cultural events -- concerts, special series, art exhibits.
My visit to St. James Cathedral was very enjoyable -- a visit to historic site, a place of worship, a center of cultural events. Thank You!Written 23 June 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Tom SYpsilanti, MI196 contributionsAttended the Turnpike Troubadours show 5/31. The staff were uniformly polite and helpful, even with our minor ticketing challenge. Good and plentiful food and beverage choices. Nice, new, and big bathrooms meant minimal waits even with a big crowd. The setting is very nice— right next to the river with Chicago skyline views. Perfect weather the evening we were there. Don’t know about when it rains. Decent sound and visuals. Most attendees stand the whole show, but there are some places to sit down. I’d go back.Written 2 June 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Sara B1 contributionOne of my favorite experiences I’ve gone to in Chicago this year! I would absolutely add this to my list of things to do when in Chicago. My whole family loved it, and after everyone was talking about “oh so and so would love this, I’m going to have to go again with them!” Nothing says incredible, like needing to go again. Beyond talented actors, musicians, and tap dancing which was my personal favorite! Fun for anyone, even those who may not consider themselves theater lovers.Written 29 April 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
