I live right across the street from RA and also like the atmosphere and food. Just for clarity, it isn't actually on Rush but State Street.
My personal favorite is probably Ambria. Both the food and service were amazing.

My new "favorite" Chicago restaurant is Ra on Rush Street... fun sushi bar. Upscale but tasty. Trendy but fun. Loud but not obnoxious. Love their fishbowls and the infused sake bombers are a blast!
For "Lettuce" fun that is less pricey than Tru, I love all three of the Water Tower joints... Wow Bao!, Mity Nice Grill, and FoodLife. Three different experiences... three places I love to go.
