Editorial Review for Zed 451 – by Fred Schlatter
In Short
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 supports 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 eventually to the stunning rooftop. Waiters, who are also chefs, weave through the whole jumble deftly handling skewers of meat and preciously composed bites. A diverse, dressed crowd signals.

Insider Tips
Know Before You GoSmokers will be pained to discover that lighting up on the lush rooftop oasis is prohibited. That's right: You may not smoke outside.
Where to SitIf it is at all pleasant outdoors, get yourself to the rooftop. There, you will discover sodded sitting areas, excellent Konstantin Grcic stools, a cut-through to the bar below and cabana-like private booths.
The ExtrasThe kitchen remains at full steam until 11pm---not terribly late for the nightlife area. But wait 12 hours and it opens again on Saturdays for an international brunch service

Went to Zed451 to celebrate my wedding anniversary and was EXTREMELY disappointed. The service was lousy at best as our waitress not helpful at all. When we began our meal, the servers seemed to all flock to our table at once. After about 10 minutes of that, they rarely came back. We asked our waitress if she could send some servers over who were carrying the meats that we enjoyed most. They NEVER came. The salad bar was OK but pales in comparison to other Brazilian style steak houses. We dropped $150 and were COMPLETELY unsatisfied. If your looking for a similar style restaurant in this area, I'd suggest Brazzaz. Don't go to ZED451 if your looking for quality service and a wide variety.
Pros: decor and ambience
Cons: service, salad bar selection and value

I had a business meeting at Zed tonight and the service and food was horrible. I would not recommend this place to anyone. There are so many other great place to go in Chicago with much better service. Drinks and food are way over priced for what you get. The management is out of touch with what is needed for good customer service. We had an issue with food /drinks after spending $1000.00 and they were unwilling to discuss or address our issues. If you want a good dinner in the city avoid ZED the food/management is out of touch!!
Pros: nice roof top
Cons: service and food is way over price for what is delivered
