About this business
Editorial fromA cut above its churrascaria counterparts, this surprisingly intimate restaurant gets buzz on account of the roomy (and super-stylish) rooftop lounge. But the real draw, of course, is the food, which begins with trips to the aptly named…

Super Pretentious – The food was ok, atmosphere nice, but the rude service was too the extreme. Made people in our party feel awkward. The upstairs staff was so judgmental after our party dropped over $1000 on our bill...they wouldn't let them go upstairs on the deck. There wasn't a line at this time and the deck was not full. They will find when the summer ends, their hotspot will be a new spot. Too bad they didn't treat the locals nice enough to want to go back! All around disappointed!
Swank, Nice Bar, Food Service No Big Deal – I dined at Zed 451 on a recent trip to Chicago and while a beautiful restaurant, the experience overall was, EHH! The concept reminds me of Brazilian Style dining, however, the food offerings didn't excite me - nothing was super delish, just a dressed up salad bar and meat. The bar and upstairs scene was very cute and good for people watching although a little crowded.
Great for Drinks and Appetizers, NOT FOOD – I don't recommend this as a destination as much as I recommend it as a "stop along the way". This place has a gorgeous rooftop terrace (be prepared to wait as much as an hour as they only allow 2 - 3 people in at a time, based on capacity) and the specialty drinks are delicious. The scene is great and there are always good looking people coming to relax after work. During the cold months, head inside to the bar on the 1st floor to sample the nice cheese and meat platter near the fi... read more
EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING! – I have eaten twice at the Zed in downtown Chicago and both times had a disapointing experience. The "head" waiter was young, inexperienced and completely untrained...the rest of the dining room staff was much better.. on both occasions, the hostess at the front desk told people in my party that we had not been seated and directed them to the bar, where they sat waiting for us for 20 minutes. the only problem was: both times we had been seated. is this some ploy to get people to spend more money at ... read more
Great food, harvest bar and drinks – I've never been to a churasceria and I don't even actually eat red meat or pork but I still think Zed 451 is a great place to go on a date or with a group. The atmosphere is cool and the roof deck is impeccably designed for relaxing and socializing. As for the food and drinks, the cocktails are refreshingly made with fresh juices and fruits that are delectable. The harvest bar has so many salads, fresh charcuterie, cheeses and vegetables that you need to be careful not to fill up. As for ... read more
Awesome brunch spot! – If you're looking for a new brunch spot, I would definitely recommend ZED 451. It's the perfect kind of food (and a lot of it) when you're making this your biggest meal of the day. Pairing it with a Bloody Mary is also the way to go. My friend had another "brunchy" cocktail and we both were in heaven. Honestly, this is the place to be to sit back, chill out and start your Sunday off on the right foot!
Following an interminable renovation, a sprawling, high-design buffet emerges--meat-wielding servers intact. – River North barely seems to support the scale of designer Chris Smith's vision. Great sheets of glass, unfinished wood, black steel and stone compose the elevation--a Disney-esque naturalism continued into gigantic interior spaces. Floor one boasts a main dining room and cavernous bar, but it's not that simple; stairwells, passageways and balconies suggest intricate space, a complexity that's carried upstairs and to... read more
Bring your appetite! – I came here with a friend the 2nd night it opened. We really were only going for drinks but the food looked so good we decided to eat there. All I can say is wow. Generally I'm the type to wait at least a month before trying a new place while they work out the kinks but I was seriously impressed. Not ony was the food ridiculously good and interesting, the service was excellent. The price for a churrascaria is generally about the same (here or anywhere else) in this city so I don't know why anyone would... read more
Great Service and Atmosphere, Meat not worth $49 – My wife and I went to Zed 451 last night to celebrate an early Mother's Day. When we arrived at the restaurant, we were impressed with the atmosphere of the restaurant and the staff was very friendly. There was a slight mixup when we were looking for a table (waiter told us we could sit at a table that there were people already sitting, but were at the firepit area getting salad, cheeses, etc.). When we did get to our table, the waiter also failed to mention what the protoco... read more
