Chicago vacation in early Aug. few hotels available

Resurrecting this post with one last question. Looking for a place to eat on the river on Thursday with my 2 sons. We have been to O’Briens and the burger place in the past. Thanks for any advice.

There’s the Riverwalk Cafe in the lower level of the Equitable Building (401 N. Michigan). More of a cafeteria than a restaurant, but you can sit right out by the river walk.

There’s also Bridge House Tavern, and I think Smith & Wollensky might have river walk seating.
