951 W Fulton Market, Chicago, IL 60607, USA- Spaces for 20-90 Guests

We remember when we were kids at a restaurant…seeing the kitchen doors swing open and closed, wondering what magic was behind them. Whether in a diner or a fancy white-tablecloth restaurant, the kitchen and the chefs were the hidden heart of the restaurant. And so at Roister we’ve built our kitchens to be the restaurant. Our chefs are an integral part of service. Roister’s food is rooted in primal cooking techniques combined with modern technology when it produces better results. The results are a combination of understated platings and vibrant flavors. It is the perfect environment for celebrating with a party, small or large, for dinner, brunch, or cocktails and snacks. We have event packages to fit each of these occasions. Supper Clubs are a Midwestern tradition and our St. Clair Supper Club is named after chef Achatz's home town in Michigan. Just below Roister we've created a comfortable spot to enjoy first class Prime Rib, Sweet Brandy Old Fashioned’s, Spicy Shrimp Cocktails, and delicious dishes and daily specials. This is a meat & potatoes spot, so if you prefer veggies as a main dish please visit one of our other establishments. But if you love Prime Rib, you'll want to stop in. We can't wait to see you.
