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.

A great location, close to theater district, shopping and the Magnificent Mile…Basically the heart of Chicago.
The food and service were perfect. End of sentence..
WE ordered the Wild Mushroom al Forno as an appetizer, great flavor and presentation accompanied with warm Rosemary focaccia.
For an entree we selected the Duck Confit, fig jam and goat cheese pizza, cooked perfectly.
A reasonably priced bottle of Red Wine
All the servers were attired in well pressed uniforms, and we asked and received honest responses to questions regarding food and suggested pairings.
A perfect night in a casual upscale restaurant.
Well Done

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 the 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.
Since we loved this restaurant, so much, I made reservations the next morning for brunch just for my husband and I. Maddie was so sweet and made sure that we were seated at around a booth as requested. This time our server was Kelsey. She was engaging and friendly and provided very good service, always checking back on us. Kelsey made sure my cappuccino was topped with a bear in the foam to put a smile on my face. She also made my husband one of the best Bloody Mary’s. My husband had the chicken and waffles, which was insanely good. The waffle was light and fluffy and that chicken was tender with a very crispy coating. I had the Ricky’s Omelette, which was an egg white omelette with vegetables served with fresh fruit. I also had a side of crisp bacon.
The service was great at both dinner and brunch, the food was delicious and I loved the atmosphere, especially the round booths. This is a small restaurant, so make sure you make reservations. We’ll definitely be back. There’s so much on the menu that I want to try everything!

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!

We arrived without reservation, and they offered us to sit outside. We accepted (great mistake). We were waiting for 45 minutes without any assistance. After we and the clients on the next table complained twice, they finally came to take our order. The explanation from the manager, our server was too busy inside. Finally, our appetizer came after more than 1 hour and 15 minutes of been seated. The appetizer, ibericos bruchetta was delicious. The lasagna entrée in an Italian restaurant is usually a big plate, but in this case the size was like an appetizer for $29. My wife risotto Frutti di Mare was good. Due to my experience, I definitively do not recommend this restaurant.

Friendly and prompt service and food came quickly. Food was good, but not a #1 in Chicago kind of good. But the bump down to 3 is because I’m 99% certain they served me a regular pizza crust instead of a GF crust. I was sick as a dog afterwards.

We had been in Chicago for two days and everything up to Miss Ricky’s had been great. Unfortunately, the run ended there. Upon arrival, we noticed that the noise level was so high that we had to repeat everything we said to the hostess twice. Eventually, we were shown to a “couch” with room for five with a single chair even though we were two! After changing tables, we ordered two coffees - a double espresso with cream and a Mochachino. When the double espresso arrived, it had no cream. For five minutes, we waited for the cream until the double espresso was cold. Five minutes after that, we asked for the cream, which required a meeting between several staff members in the kitchen to determine how to proceed. Eventually, the cream arrived but our sense was that it took an effort considered insurmountable by the staff. We then ordered two meals - the Shakshouka and the fried chicken with waffle. The fried chicken with waffle arrived 15 minutes later but the Shakshouka arrived 15 minutes after that. By the time the Shashouka arrived, the fried chicken and waffle was cold. When the Shakshouka arrived, the eggs were raw and it had to be sent back. Even the second time, it was terrible and tasted like an egg in barbecue sauce. We had spent several weeks in Istanbul having Shakshouka every morning and this bore no resemblance to that.

We had a wonderful meal at Miss Ricky's last week! Brookie was our server, and she was so friendly, helpful, and accommodating. I was there with my very picky 13-year old eater who tried to embrace ordering new menu items. She wanted to try the pasta carbonara, and when it arrived both my mom and I sampled it and thought it was amazing, but my daughter didn't like it at all, so Brookie was kind enough to bring out a new dish (spaghetti pomodoro) within 5 mins or so, and take the pasta carbonara off our bill. We so appreciate Brookie's patience and attentiveness. My mom had the lobster ravioli and thought it was the best! I had gnocchi with zucchini and eggplant and thought it was so good too. The Caesar salad portions are very large, even with a half order, so save room for dinner! Thank you for a wonderful evening. We will be back the next time we are in Chicago!

Each day of our two day college buddies reunion got off to a great start due in great part to Kelsey’s energetic and engaging service. All food ordered by the eight of us was well prepared, tasty, and presented nicely, but Kelsey made our breakfasts special, even knowing what we had ordered the previous day. Only two warnings: if you want decaf be prepared to wait because it comes from the coffee shop on the other side of the lobby and think twice before ordering grits this far north.

We love the Virgin Hotel in Chicago. It exceeds expectations on so many levels. The restaurant experience was delightful too. We enjoyed a lovely Crudo (yellowfin tuna, calabrian chiles, caramelized onion, lemon, aged balsamic, capers, cilantro olive oil) and a Grove Salad (mixed leaf salad, avocado, strawberries, pear, gorgonzola cheese, candied walnuts, mixed berry-citrus dressing).
The staff was attentive and we made it our first stop here before going to Mariah Carey’s Black Irish Holiday Bar on the 2nd floor.

PERFECT! Everything was fantastic- bread, salad and pasta. Jeremy provided great service! Went with the family, including a 10 year old. They did not have a child’s menu, but they were able to make a kid friendly pasta for him that he LOVED. As for my husband and me, I recommend the risotto- phenomenal! Highly recommend it here!

Such a cute and intimate place with bright aesthetics and decor. Our server, Stoli, was amazing! He greeted us at the host stand, sat us down and took care of our orders. He can do it all! We had some questions about the menu, he accommodated all of our requests and our food was delicious. He was very attentive and enhanced our dining experienced with his service!

We went for breakfast and the food was pretty bad. We ordered undercooked scrambled eggs and they arrived dry, then French toast which also arrived dry and salty. I wouldn't recommend this place. We couldn't order a coffee, they told me I had to go next door.

We dined there before we went to the theatre, and the food was delicious. Then, the hostess asked us to finish up our food or box our food so they could have the table. I understand the need for restaurants to turn tables, but being directly approached to pack it up and leave was offensive, especially since we had been there 1.5 hours, which is not a long time. It was nowhere near closing time, and we were not being disruptive. Because of this, we dug in our heels and stayed longer. When we left, there were no customers waiting to be seated.

My wife and I made it a point to have breakfast on our last day in town at Miss Ricky's.
We were seated quickly, although we had a reservation it was not needed on this midweek morning. Our server was engaging and efficient; our orders of country sourdough avocado toast were promptly delivered and nicely presented. The two avocado lathered bread slices each had heirloom cherry tomatoes, roasted pepitas, wild mushrooms and as requested eggs over. This was a tasty treat; the toast was crisp and the ingredients had a nice textural blend. Just as important - the coffee was hot! We recommend a stop at Miss Rickey's; be sure to get the scoop on the eclectic ties and mini-skirts on display as you enter.

First time visitor’s from Boston. Love Italian food so we followed the reviews to try Miss Rickey’s. Food was outstanding, we started with the bruschetta, delicious flavor, small serving but outstanding tastes! Next we had the mushroom risotto and the lasagna. I never order lasagna in an Italian restaurant, but again after reading the reviews gave it a try. It was served with three pieces of delicious bread and almost like an Italian dip, very unique and savory! Our waiter, Jeremy was outstanding, before ordering he asked us questions about what we like and offered suggestions. He was attentive, interactive and a fun person to complement our evening. Don’t go if you’re expecting an Italian trattoria, but if you like excellent food and service don’t hesitate.
