The 50 best rooftop bars in Chicago

Delicious food and generous portions — we tried the salmon, meat, and a roasted carrot starter, all outstanding. The atmosphere is great, and the rooftop view over Millennium Park is spectacular. You can grab a drink without a reservation, but I recommend booking ahead for the restaurant. Definitely worth the visit!

The rooftop in Chicago is definitely a place worth visiting. It has incredible views and a very, very pleasant design. The service is correct, and the food is just okay — nothing special — but that’s not really the point. What truly makes it stand out is the atmosphere: the views, the design, and the overall vibe of the place are amazing. It’s absolutely worth going at least once to enjoy the experience and take in the city from above

What a great spot. We only had drinks, but the atmosphere was great. We hung out for a good while and before leaving took in the fab view. Before you go all the way up, walk up one flight of stairs and take in the hotel foyer. Full of history. It used to be a male only club. Fantastic features.

Our favorite thing was the garlic bread, best one we’ve ever had! The scallops were good too. The tuna was different but good. My boyfriend also loved the oysters. Very nice view of Chicago

Gorgeous roof restaurant attached by an open-roof terrace looking over the park and lake. Their dishes are pretty average and servers tend to rush you through your ongoing meal but you don’t expect the highest qualities of foods or hospitality from a place like this so I’d say it’s still pretty acceptable. Go for the view and the vibe.

Cindy’s Rooftop has a beautiful panoramic view over Chicago and the park, which makes the atmosphere feel special and memorable. The drinks were well prepared and the staff stayed friendly and attentive the whole time. Even though the place can get busy, the service didn’t feel rushed or chaotic. Prices are higher than average, but the view and the overall vibe make the experience worth it. It’s a great spot for photos, casual celebrations, or just enjoying the city from above

Our experience was underwhelming especially considering the price point. For the positives, the rooftop is great with an amazing view. The food tasted good for the most part. Service was incredibly slow. We hadn't gotten our drinks until 40 mins after we placed the order. It took another 15-20 mins for us to get the food. Our waiter was very distracted and never once checked in with us during our meal. Cocktails were basic. I would rather just do the "bar and view" instead of dining, if I decide to come back.

it’s a great spot for craft cocktails here. It’s unique and fancy drinks. Good view facing the river. Good vibe. less busy than london house and Cindy’s.

The service was a little slow because they were busy, but nothing outrageous which was great. Despite the wait for an outdoor table, my friends and I had a great time. The food was really good and so was the atmosphere. There were nice areas to take pictures. The service was attentive. We had a blast.

Nice vibes + good food and drinks = a great birthday celebration. When our party of 8 arrived there was a long wait for the outdoor terrace so we opted for a cozy section near the bar. We had a great time.

I recently visited RAISED | An Urban Rooftop Bar. The service was great—friendly and attentive staff, and the vibe was really nice. Unfortunately, the food didn’t quite meet expectations. I ordered a burger and a type of steak stew, and both dishes were extremely salty, which made it hard to enjoy the flavors. I really wanted to love the food as much as the atmosphere, but I hope they make some adjustments in the kitchen. Still, a great spot for drinks and a view!

We expected a lot from Raised Rooftop bar and when it came to our loft drink expectations, the bar and service fully delivered....BUT we were deciding between a few roof tops bars for drinks and dinner and chose Raised.....this is NOT a rooftop....it's a patio, on the 3rd floor. We wound up just ordering fries (which were excellent) and moved on. Highly recommend this place but it is NOT a rooftop bar

Our business dinner at RAISED Urban Rooftop Bar was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the vibrant yet sophisticated atmosphere. The space strikes a perfect balance—modern and stylish with panoramic city views that set the tone for a memorable evening. The ambiance made it ideal not only for socializing but also for creating a welcoming environment where our team could truly connect outside the office. The food was excellent—beautifully presented, fresh, and flavorful. Every plate was crafted with care, offering a menu that satisfied both adventurous and classic palates. From small bites to mains, each dish exceeded expectations and paired perfectly with the creative cocktail selections. What truly elevated the night, however, was the customer service, which was second to none. The staff anticipated our needs without being intrusive, ensuring that everything ran smoothly and that our team felt valued throughout the evening. Attentive, professional, and genuinely warm, they transformed a great dinner into an outstanding experience. RAISED delivered on all fronts—ambiance, cuisine, and hospitality. It is without question one of the best venues in Chicago for hosting a team dinner, client gathering, or simply enjoying a night out in the city. We look forward to returning and highly recommend it to anyone seeking a top-tier rooftop dining experience.

Was in town for a work conference & wanted to experience a rooftop restaurant. RAISED didn't disappoint! Friendly service, good food & of course the views were amazing!

Definitely a place for the views but the views are outstanding! It was overpriced in my opinion for the amount of food you get. Food was decent. Although they were short staffed they did a phenomenal job of checking in and making sure we had everything we needed. The service and the views are what made this a good experience!

The view was beautiful . Charlie was the best! He was very accommodating & made sure we were well taken care of. We wanted to sit outside but the seats were a little wet & he made sure to get dry replacement cushions for us. Best service I’ve received, he was the absolute best & sweetest.

This is one of the best rooftop spots in Chicago, offering incredible views of Lincoln Park, the zoo, and the downtown skyline. The menu is small but the food is excellent, and the cocktails are crafted really well. The staff is warm and welcoming, which makes the overall experience very enjoyable.

We had a birthday celebration here. The staff were so very nice and overly accommodating. Such a relaxed atmosphere. We enjoyed the flourless chocolate cake and cheesecake. Very wonderful. So sad that they had no coffee. We all wanted coffee! Lovely view!

The food is great! Rooftop view is beautiful! Bottomless mimosas $25 per person! The only thing was our server Sebastian, was very slow and not very attentive. He also lacked etiquette like reaching over my food to pour my mimosa without saying excuse me etc. BUT other than that amazing!!! Fried donut holes for the table, my aunt had the smash burger, I had the huevos ranchero, my man had the egg sandwich.

Three well-dressed, non-revealing women tried visiting this place after having a wonderful brunch at Americano (adjacent to the Lincoln hotel). I already had doubts, about two years ago I had a friend who was murdered here, but since I didn’t realize where I was I hoped we’d be safe on a Sunday afternoon. However, to my surprise, we didn’t receive a welcomed greeting;, I get it was raining so uncovered tables shouldn’t seat patrons, but there was open seating. We were told the place had no seating and that we could go stand at the bar after inquiring (staff also went to confirm). Upon approaching we were handed what they claim to be an outdated menu which said Sun-Thur was happy hour, when we mentioned it to staff his unprofessional reply was “you can order whatever you want, just not at that price” WTH I didn’t create the menu. Bye Felicia we took our leave, I refuse to give you a dime. As most reviews say the drinks are overpriced and I didn’t see anything so great about the views. In addition, it’s obvious management could care less. I don’t recommend going here. PS - beware of the janky elevator it quickly closed on my friend, she could have gotten hurt.

my gf and i went here for a happy hour date. we were taken aback by the stunning views of the sunset and the lakefront. the glass walls and ceilings let you see every color of the sky. once the sun sets, you’re surrounded by city lights. we enjoyed delish espresso martinis for $10 and our waiter Abe was delightful! 🌇⚡️🍸

I visited Tanta Cocina Peruana recently and found the flavors really exciting — their ceviche was fresh and vibrant, full of bright citrus notes. The presentation was artistic and modern, which impressed me, though I felt one of the main dishes (the steak) was a bit over-cooked for my taste. Dessert was enjoyable, especially the balance of sweetness, but the portions seemed slightly small

Still going strong since 2013! They keep bringing inventive Peruvian cuisine to us. Their Unita Kaipa and scallops are new dishes worth digging into. Home to the best pisco sour but their Royal Pisco is unbeatable. So vibrant and lively! Perfect date night and service is lovely! Awesome location too. @chicagopescetarian

We tried several dishes at Tanta Chicago and overall we had a great experience. The drinks were an A+. The Pisco Sour was perfect and the Lima Llama cocktail was fantastic. Definitely two of our favorites of the night. For food, the Pulpo Acebichado was super tender and flavorful. The Lomo Saltado was excellent and perfectly seasoned. We ordered the Cebiche Trio which included the Clásico, Limeño and Nikkei versions and it was absolutely delicious. We also had the Empanada Trio and all three were great. The Causa Nikkei, which is their tuna tartare, was incredibly yummy and one of our favorites of the evening. The only dish we would skip next time is the Aeropuerto. It just didn’t hit the same level as everything else. Our server, Ivan, was very good and knowledgeable about the menu which made the experience even better. Overall, amazing flavors, great cocktails and definitely worth coming back.

We ate the chef's tasting menu on the rooftop patio, and I 100% recommend. Each dish displayed fusion, with a Peruvian base and some Japanese sprinkling, and featured traditional flavors that were unique--some unique to Chicago, such as authentic huacatay, and some made unique at Tanta, such as the lychee-inspired ceviche. Our favorites were definitely this ceviche, the ahi over plantain, and the steak and truffle. What's more: I've had multiple tasting menus at other restaurants before and often leave somewhat hungry. That was not the case here! We even packed some leftovers!

Great food ruined by terrible service and system! 1 star out of 5! Came in on fourth of July with my girlfriend. Our first stop of our trip to Chicago. I had a reservation for 5 pm and just in time to enjoy their happy hour menu. The host was friendly and helped us pick a table to sit down. The views were immaculate and the atmosphere was vibrant and modern. Our first problem which was unprecedented was the fact that we couldn’t order off the happy hour menu because it was exclusive to the bar. Then they told us that due to the holiday, they couldn’t honor their happy hour menu at the restaurant at all! After so many contradictions, they finally allowed us to order off the happy hour menu but we had to move our menus/ drinks to the bar. Unpleasant and baffled situation. Mind you, the restaurant had only 5 people dining in (including us) Once we arrived to the bar I explicitly addressed my gratitude and apologies because we Were not trying to be complicated which was unnecessary since i was just looking for the happy hour menu THEY ADVERTISED. To my comment, the barista just shrugged it off and did not acknowledged it. Very unhappy with that. Didn’t think much of it since i thought maybe he hadn’t heard me so i went ahead and ordered drinks On my reservation I specifically requested for them to do something special for my anniversary that day, which was not even acknowledged nor respected. At that point our reservation had already been ruined twice and i hadn’t even taken the first sip of my drink yet. I asked for a recommendation which we ordered: the pisco sour clásico and the ELCHINGON. The drink itself was nothing special but it was well presented. The pisco sour had an overly smell and flavor of egg so we couldn’t finish it. For our food, we ordered the ceviche limeño and the ceviche clásico. The food itself is very good. Full of flavor and depth. The leche de tigre is just the right amount of poignant and citrusy. Had the service been better, we would’ve order more! DISCLAIMER: the entree dishes on the happy hour menu are a-lot smaller than the normal dishes. Not a deal breaker since they are almost half the price but something to keep on mind. The barista was not attentive which was odd considering it was us and another gentleman at the bar. Most of the water refills and conversations were done by the friendly busser. When we had enough of the terrible experience, we requested the bill in which the barista responded with: “that’s it? only two little ceviches?! ” Which felt like a slap on the face considering he was one of the main reasons we were taking our business elsewhere. We left with grace and left an undeserved 20% tip. Would come back if the service, system was better but will stay away and opt for other great Peruvian places in chicago!

The food is lovely and the atmosphere is great. The service is attentive. The only minor negative would be that the tables are very close to eachother especially for people in 2’s. We loved the tres leches cake for dessert and the salmon dish was amazing !

We got there at 5:30PM on Monday. It was nice and quiet since they’d just opened for the day. We got a chicha and maracuya juice to start, both were kind of off. The maracuya was weak and I can’t put my finger on what was weird about the chicha but I didn’t finish it. I ordered a maracuya sour and it was nice but it didn’t impress me. We ordered the ceviche which was delicious and fresh. So things were looking up. We then got the lomo saltado and arroz con pato. Both delicious and well done. We were really happy with how it tasted, I guess it was just the drinks we weren’t impressed with. The service was probably the best part of the experience. I wish I’d gotten their names to add to the review. They were checking in on how we were doing often and making sure our water glasses were never empty. Very professional, very friendly, just great all around. The rooftop is gorgeous and the music was great. As a Peruvian, I’d recommend this as a high-end place for Peruvian food.

Our last dinner before leaving was a great one. Although we had a slow start, waiting a good 10 minutes before someone came to the table, they quickly recovered and the food came out fast. All items were delicious. We will definitely return on our next visit.

First time visiting this spot at the Hoxton in West Loop. Great views and atmosphere although it's difficult to get a table on the patio, they go fast. Menu is seafood heavy, but still has good variety. The fried cheese over green beans, empanadas, and halibut were the standouts. Was not able to get good photos, but the presentation was excellent. Service was friendly and fast.

The empanadas were my absolute favorite, very flaky, well seasoned goat filling and delicious sauce to go with it. The steak saltado and the salchipapaa were also really good, balanced with interesting flavors. The Shrimp Tacu Tacu was not our favorite but it was something new and interesting to try. We came for bunch but plan to come back for dinner!

Our group has a great time! The vibes were great, with a DJ spinning some good tracks for an upbeat evening. Food was fantastic and had plenty of variety. Great for a date or night out with friends!

I had one summer bucket list item left- eat at a rooftop patio restaurant. Cabra was everything I envisioned and more- to my surprise, the food was so good, I probably could have been thrilled eating here if it was in the basement! Cabra feels like a patio even "inside". The view is beautiful, it's great to see the city, as the city is much more than just the lake. I had the salmon ceviche to start and literally I could have been done there in my delight. It was so good, I wanted to lick the bowl. After that, each item was somehow better than the last. I had the chicken, the dish with crab and potatoes, the halibut, and thennnnn THE SWEET POTATO DONUTS. 😍 I didn't mention the drinks, which were also lovely. Well balanced and delicious Ok it's not cheap. But what is to be expected when the FOOD & the VIEW & the STAFF.... AND the entire place. It's completely worth it for girls night, date night, or just for a moment when you want to feel like you're on top of the world and fed like royalty. 😋

Cabra is one of my favorite spots to bring friends when they come to visit. I highly recommend the happy hour menu. The pisco sour is phenomenal and a steal at $11 in the city. We had the chicken & goat empanadas (very good, chicken is better but try the goat), the salchipapas that had fries the same style as McDonalds, the spicy wings that are finished on the grill that had my friend licking her fingers, the avocado dip which as someone who does not like avocado was amazing, and finally the queso which I would say was the most lack-luster dish we had but was still decent.

Everything was just okay overall. My friend and I came by on a Monday evening around 4 PM. We started with the avocado dip and empanadas (one chicken and one goat). The empanadas were definitely the highlight—flavorful, perfectly cooked, and easily the best part of our meal. For entrées, I ordered the steak saltado and my friend had the halibut. The halibut leaned a bit on the spicier side, but it was seasoned well and cooked nicely. The steak saltado was decent but nothing particularly memorable. The best part of the night, aside from the empanadas, was watching the sunset from our table—it really added to the atmosphere. They also offer a happy hour menu, which is definitely a plus.

Me and my sister visited Offshore Rooftop at night to get a few drinks and enjoy the view. What a low key vibe it was. The views of Lake Michigan and the city were amazing at night throughout the establishment. The staff were amazing and the drinks were excellent. Super friendly and professional. Would recommend!!

My friend and i were looking for a place to try in Chicago and had a few options. Offshore had lower ratings but we wanted the view so said “eh let’s try it anyway!” We were pleasantly surprised with everything! Staff was very attentive and fun to interact with. Drinks were wonderful, food presentation and flavors were excellent and the view was lovely over the city. Thanks all for taking care of us and treating us to a wonderful evening!

I really enjoyed this place! The food was delicious, and the view was absolutely stunning. We were celebrating my birthday, and they surprised us with a complimentary chocolate plate with a candle, which made the evening even more special. The service was excellent, and the overall experience was wonderful. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a memorable spot in Chicago!

Fantastic breakfast with unbeatable views! A relaxing morning vibe with fresh coffee, delicious pastries, and lakefront scenery that’s hard to beat. The staff were warm and attentive, and the ambiance was perfect for a peaceful start to the day. Highly recommend for a scenic, satisfying breakfast in Chicago.

The view itself is sooo beautiful!! Especially at golden hour! The food was good and the chocolate martini!! OH MY, so good!! The music was good and I wish I went on a sunny busy day bc the outside lounge is so big and has fun games, would be awesome to celebrate and enjoy outside!!

Offshore Rooftop is a true gem in Chicago! The atmosphere is unbeatable—with a panoramic view of Lake Michigan, it’s the perfect spot to unwind and take in the beauty of the city’s skyline and water. What made our experience even better was the excellent service. Our server, Marla, was absolutely splendid—attentive, friendly, and made sure we were well taken care of without ever being intrusive. Her warm personality added a personal touch to our visit. We sipped on delicious drinks while enjoying the lake breeze and gorgeous sunset. Whether you’re a local or just visiting, Offshore Rooftop is the ideal spot for a relaxing evening with great vibes, drinks, great staff, and unforgettable views.

The Offshore Rooftop scenery was absolutely breathtaking, it offers a one-of-a-kind view of the Chicago skyline (located on the navy pier), and the restaurant is very spacious. The staff were enthusiastic and extremely friendly. We Ordered: - Bourbon Berry French Toast Soufflé - Raspberry Mascarpone Cheese, Blueberry Bourbon Sauce, Served With Vanilla Whipped Cream & Maple Syrup. - Scrambled Egg And Sourdough Bread. I genuinely enjoyed the French toast it would have been my favourite French Toast in Chicago if it was a brioche instead of a sponge cake. The French Toast base is fundamental it can dictate the entire experience. It was a large cube instead of the traditional rectangular shaped soft brioche which is my preference. However, everything else was lovely. Overall Offshore Rooftop is a restaurant I would highly recommend if you are visiting Chicago.

This bar is a cheap dump. I’m embarrassed for Virgin Hotels to have such an unimpressive, hooky, cheesy bar. The food is expensive $16.00 for steak fries with light sprinkle of cheese. The martini I ordered was watered down Kettle One supposedly but didn’t feel a thing from it. The views are beautiful and the Dj was decent. I can’t in all fairness recommend this rooftop bar.

We had high hopes for this rooftop bar, especially since it appeared on several “best rooftop” lists for Chicago. My drink, a tropical mix of mango, pineapple, and tequila,was one of those influencer-style cocktails and honestly, it was fantastic. Refreshing, flavorful, and worth mentioning. Unfortunately, almost everything else about the experience fell flat. We arrived right at midnight and were able to step outside and see the rooftop patio, which looked like the kind of vibe we came for. However, the moment we ordered and paid for our drinks,literally within minutes,they abruptly closed the outdoor area without any prior warning. If we had known the patio was closing, we wouldn’t have ordered at all,we would have simply left. That felt extremely misleading and left us stuck inside with our overpriced drinks. The indoor space was a huge downgrade: awkward atmosphere, bad lighting, and music that didn’t match the rooftop energy. My drink was good, but my friend’s was terrible, completely off balance. We thought maybe we could salvage the night by heading to the hotel lobby (since it’s part of the Virgin Hotels) to finish our drinks. They were served in plastic cups, not even glass, so we figured it wouldn’t be an issue. But just as we were getting on the elevator, a staff member stopped us and said we couldn’t take the drinks down. To top it all off, the drinks were nearly $50,$60 for just two, with a tip already included, and yet they still prompted for an additional tip. All in all, this place was a major disappointment. With so many fantastic rooftops in Chicago offering great views, vibes, and transparency, this one just didn’t deliver. I wouldn’t go back or recommend it, even though my drink was genuinely good,the rest of the experience simply wasn’t worth it.

Cerise Rooftop city view was breathtaking! The views were solid as the skylines lit up the nights sky. Creating an intimate and comfortable atmosphere. As we continuously looked for seats to relax and converse the pickings were slim. My advice would be to get there early for a decent seat. It was way too crowded for our taste — definitely not the spot if you’re into more secluded, laid-back vibes. Also, Security hovered the entire time, which made it feel less like a lounge and more like a club. Strangely, they checked our bags but didn’t pat anyone down, which felt inconsistent. And there wasn’t a DRESS CODE. It was also a mixed crowd with young folks, the mature adults and the life of the party folks! Our Drinks were a cup of red wine and a Coke & Jack. Drinks were overpriced and came in plastic cups — not exactly what you’d expect from a place trying to feel upscale. Wine in a plastic cup is distasteful, and Cerise excessively lacks wine etiquette. With half the space outdoors and no clear vibe, it just didn’t hit the mark for us.

I went for the first time it was great! I just wish they had speakers outside on the rooftop. They should also invest in a tent or overhead to be open all year round the rooftop part. Try the Mediterranean fries are bomb!

It is much overrated. Food is not really good. Drinks overpriced. The cloth napkins fabric fibers transferred to our clothing which was really irritating. Service is ok but not great. Views are not bad but better rooftops are available. We were celebrating our anniversary but really not what we were expecting in terms of type of service and experience. I recommend trump rooftop, great service and way much different level of service, experience, professionalism, better food variety and same prices.

Amazing atmosphere, the food is okay, drinks are good. Will definitely coming back. Sometimes there is a DJ party

Beautiful rooftop in downtown. Drinks were well made and delicious. Bartenders not in the best mood but still fine with us. Our server was so nice and attentive to all our needs. When we arrived at first there wasn’t any tables on the deck but after just 10 mins a spot opened up. Killer views. I’m surprised I haven’t gone before. Will come again in the Spring when the weathers nice again. :D

recently visited Z Bar at the Peninsula Chicago for a light evening of appetizers and dessert, and it was an absolutely delightful experience. The restaurant has a cozy and elegant ambiance, making it a perfect spot to unwind. The menu offered a great variety, and I cannot recommend the warm vanilla bean beignets enough – they were heavenly and a must-try! The service was impeccable. Sara, our server, was attentive and friendly, making sure we had everything we needed, while Julia, the host, greeted us warmly and made us feel welcome from the start. Overall, Z Bar exceeded my expectations, and I would highly recommend it for anyone looking for a refined yet comfortable dining experience in Chicago.

Me and my friend were visiting from out of town. Both of us enjoy to spend our evenings with good food, drinks and nice views. However Z bar, left us both underwhelmed and disappointed. When we first arrived we waited at the hostess stand for about 30 minutes and no one was there to sit us. We noticed two couples get seated before us and they arrived after us. When the hostess came towards us, she started asking us questions about our hotel room and if we were guests. Also she didn't ask where we would like to sit like the couples in front of us. None of these hotel questions were asked to the couples in front of us, which gave a hint of casual racism and discrimination. I've lived in many other big cities and would never expect to experience this service from Z Bar in Chicago. Definitely left with a poor taste. Although it was an unwelcoming environment when we first arrived, our server was polite and attentive. We enjoyed our drinks and the view. The oysters were okay. However I would not recommend them.

Fun and very creative cocktails, they also have a great selection of whiskey, and the view is wonderful. Very comfortable and chic atmosphere, they even have blankets and a fire pit.

Z Bar in Chicago, located in the iconic Peninsula Hotel, is a classy lounge with both an elegant indoor space — featuring a stunning central bar — and an outdoor terrace where you can soak in the beautiful skyline views. The cocktails are excellent, and I really appreciated the personalized service from the bartender, who crafted a custom mocktail just for me — and it was delicious! I’ll definitely be back for a night out with friends.

Uptempo vibe. Staff super nice. Adam behind the bar was friendly and playful banter. Cool atmosphere. Outdoor space too. Which was chic as you can see in the pics.

Having spent a long day shopping, we were looking for a pick-me-up in a relaxed atmosphere. The hostess Yulia went out of her way to seat us in a quieter section of the bar, and even gave us a rather generously spaced booth where we could set down our many bags. We were so grateful! Our server Melissa was no less attentive and professional. She knows the menu by heart and guided us to the right choices. Highly recommend the paloma (pictured), the seasonal sliders, the caviar potato bites, and the lemongrass mousse. Melissa is one of those rare servers who shows up just at the right moments: she kept our water and tea perpetually full, checked in with us about our food, and made some pleasant small talk. A truly wonderful experience and we hope to be back soon.

My friends and I went to the Z Bar at the Peninsula Hotel in downtown Chicago for some midday drinks and a terrace view of the city. The environment and service in there were fantastic, since it’s a five-star hotel. They even have fire pits outside. We didn’t stay outside long because it’s cold but we took some photos and went back inside. It’s a nice bougie and comfortable spot to hang out :)

We went to Aba for brunch and it was such a great experience! They recommend at least 4 items for 2 people, and every dish we tried was excellent and absolutely mouthwatering. The Mediterranean cuisine with a California influence makes the flavors so fresh and unique. Both the outdoor patio and indoor seating are beautiful , definitely a place worth visiting. I love their food and enjoyed every bite! Want to visit again during lunch time!

Through and through this is a 5 star joint. The food is incredible, well plated and paired incredibly well with the bottle of orange wine. The garlic hummus is a must try, the pita was fresh, and the steak frites was cooked to perfect temperature. This is a must visit place for me everytime I’m in Chicago. Make sure to make a reservation, but if not, put in your name and go down the street to grab a drink, this spot is well worth the wait! A bit on the pricier side, but the food is definitely worth the cost! Great place for a business meal, or just to try out some small plates with your buddies!

Alright y'all. This was one of the best meals I've had in recent memory. The moment you step inside this place, you know you're in for something great. Every single thing we ordered was delicious. We went for happy hour and tried the dip trio (hummus/feta/eggplant) and each one was amazing. Believe it or not, they do a great margarita too. Also, if you like lamb, GET IT! perfectly cooked (medium rare for us) and the flavor was incredible. Service was 10/10. You will not be disappointed. There's a reason why this place has a near perfect score with 6,000+ reviews. Cheers.

Let’s start off with the good. The atmosphere is gorgeous. The city view was grand. The lighting and the foliage were beautiful. I’ve traveled to Chicago a handful of times, and I’ve enjoyed Aba in the past. Every time I visit I try to make an effort to come here and eat! It was THE first restaurant my best friend took me too, and I wanted to celebrate here for my birthday—however it was anything but nice. The hostess was welcoming. Our server acted like she didn’t want us there. It was far from being welcoming. She rarely checked up on us. It seemed as if us being there was trouble for her. This was not how past experiences was. For me going to a nice restaurant I highly judge the service. This was not it. However the people who ran the food were lovely and kind. The food was not as good or close to good as I remembered. Maybe they were having an off night. We had hummus with the short ribs it was not as tender or big in portion size as I remembered. The pita bread was STILL SO AMAZING! The chicken thigh had a sour taste, and I felt as if the profile of the dish did not complement one another. The salmon was good but it wasn’t special …the steak frites were def the best of what we ordered but like it wasn’t amazing … the shrimp dish that came like escargot needs to be reevaluated…the shrimp was over cooked and just didn’t understand the presentation. I also had a mocktail and I felt like they used to be better. I truly wanted to love eating here and have a special time due to it also being my birthday. It was disappointing. Aba vs girl and the goat (though different foods same price range) I would rather spend my money at girl and the goat.

Pricey! But great service at the bar. Eddie is a cool, friendly server. I ordered the crispy chicken thighs and my partner order the steak frites. We took the green line here. The hostess was meh. I wouldn’t come back but I don’t regret trying this place. Ambiance is cool and dim-lit. Nice date spot or hang with friends. Keep in mind it’s busy on weekends.

Aba in Chicago was absolutely incredible! Definitely one of the top restaurants I’ve ever enjoyed. We were a group of four and ordered about 10 dishes to share, and every single one was spot on. The garlic hummus, eggplant, potatoes, falafel, whipped feta, fries, brussels sprouts, scallops, pork belly, salmon, and steak were all bursting with flavor and tasted fresh and authentic. The standout for me was how balanced and thoughtfully prepared each dish was. The only thing that wasn’t my personal favorite was the added sweetness in the Brussels sprouts, I’m more of a savory girlie and prefer salty over sweet, but that’s just me. The ambiance was lovely, lively, and warm, with such a great vibe throughout the night. Between the food, service, and atmosphere, Aba truly lives up to the hype and is a must-visit spot in Chicago!!

The experience here was *chef kiss*. From thr service to the food, everything was hands down amazing. When my group of 3 girlfriends & I walked in, we were greeted with a warm smile & bright welcome. They were super accommodating for us even though we were running behind (we did call in to let them know we were running late). The servers were super knowledgeable about the menu from food to cocktails. This was my first experience in a Chicago restaurant & they made it so awesome. Can't wait to come back! ☺️

Came here to enjoy an after work happy hour and loved it! We were a pretty big group but we were able to be seated fairly easily which was much appreciated. The drinks were really great! Had a wide variety and you’ll instantly earn cool points for having a Penicillin on the menu. Service was good too and this spot is absolutely beautiful - I walked in and was so amazed. I can’t speak to the food as we only tried the pizza which was good. Overall I’d definitely come back for drinks if I lived in the area.

Arrived at the restaurant and the host just directed me straight to the bar top due to just being one person which I assumed everything else was reserved. The bartenders are very knowledgeable and friendly. The drinks were very good. I ordered the cucumber gin and tonic which was really good. I also ordered pizza but that was a solid 7/10. The restaurant was very clean. Going to the restrooms was a bit confusing but was able to find it. The views are good but it’s all indoors which was good due to the chilly weather outside.

What a great spot for a rooftop restaurant!! There is both a lounge/sofa area and tables. We got a table by a window for a great view of the city. When making a reservation, you can choose which one to sit at. The website emphasized a dress code to the point where you could get kicked out, so we went dressed to the 9's, only to go in and see a lot of people dressed down and not being addressed about it, so that was disappointing. I would have worn more comfortable shoes 😂 I found the menu is limited, I just got the potatoes which were great but that was all I could eat. This place is clearly a highlight for the ambiance and view!! Service/our waitress was also great, my friend didn't like her drink and she took care of us.

This is a cool rooftop bar with a lively party vibe in the heart of Chicago. The drinks are excellent, and the service is outstanding. The bartenders and servers are super friendly. The music is loud and energizing, so if you're looking to stay hyped, this is the place to be. In addition to the main bar area with a retractable roof, there's also a lounge-style section where you can relax and enjoy your food and drinks. This area also offers better views. Highly recommend for a fun night out!

We came here for our Fourth of July dinner with family, and the experience was memorable in many ways. Located on the 27th floor of the hotel, the restaurant boasts a gorgeous and spacious setting with stunning views. The menu offered an impressive variety of cuisines — from pizza and seafood to sushi rolls, sashimi, and sliders. The food was overall quite good. I especially enjoyed the Spicy Salmon Roll, which had a lovely tenderness and a subtle hint of yuzu, and the Black Angus Sliders, which were incredibly juicy and complemented by flavorful sauces. However, I wouldn’t recommend the vegetable bowls; we tried the broccolini and mushrooms, but they were dry, overly charred, and not what we expected from a vegetable bowl. There was also a DJ playing some great mixes, which added a lively energy to the space. That said, the music was quite loud in the main dining area, with speakers positioned above each booth. At times, the bass caused our seats to vibrate, and we could barely hear despite sitting right next to each other, making it difficult to hold a conversation (this was for dinner ~7pm). This venue might be better suited for drinks and a vibrant pregame atmosphere rather than a quiet sit-down meal with family.

Got seated on time. Good views of skyline. Excellent service. Good drinks - ordered Expresso Martini, Mezcal Sour, Jalisco. Had Dip Tria for appetizer. Liked sweet pea and lemon ricotta - white truffle honey and red pepper hummus - toasted pine nuts, micro cilantro. Roasted eggplant was flat for my taste but good. Ordered Four Cheese pizza, Crispy Brussel Sprouts, S&P fries. Very tasty and good portion size for all servings. Recommended.

From the check-in with Eric to the fantastic service at the Rooftop bar with Brian, our stay has been nothing short of amazing. Alex got us all squared away with our valet of the car with swift and prompt action. Raymundo helped with our luggage and was helpful with a few suggestions for our stay. The hotel’s vibe is super cool, and my wife and I needed a break from the hustle and bustle. The rooms are spacious and modern, and the food at the bar was incredible. We tried the sausage pizza, which was fresh and delicious, and the Angus beef sliders were juicy and well-seasoned. The lobster tacos were fresh and just the right taste, and our first time trying oysters was a blast - the texture and freshness were amazing. The views from the rooftop bar are breathtaking, and we definitely plan to come back again.

These brisket fries I had were like a meal, so good, definitely would share as an appetizer next time with friends. Went for happy hour, loved the $8 frozen margarit, do the swirl! Bar tenders, think names were Shawn and Tyler, were great, if you ever go, ask Tyler something dumb, dude is hilarious! Great service, great time! Good place for a date or to hang with friends for sure!

5 stars for Tyler the PM bartender Knowledgeable and charismatic. I also really appreciate that he asked if we had food allergies when taking our order. We arrived late evening seating in the main dining area was closed so we sat at the bar. It was a pleasant atmosphere. We ordered to go. The food was delicious. Very flavorful. I would describe it as Mexican Fusion. We ordered a Baja Burrito and a Spicy Chicken Burrito Baja was pleasantly seasoned and did not taste very fishy. Chicken was great. It was spicy and had plenty of cheese. Very good!

Seriously, what is going on with the staff at this location? I came here with two separate parties in the last 4 months and the wait staff is atrocious. The waitresses that helped us on BOTH visits seemed annoyed we didn't know what we wanted - and after we said we needed 2 minutes, they didn't say a single word, and walked away. This exact behavior has happened on BOTH trips to your location. In addition, the waitresses only communication with us was "what would you like?" "are you finished up?" - I genuinely do not think they said a single other thing. No "sounds great" no "how is everything?" no "how are you guys doing today?" Blank, agitated stares, immediate silent dismissals. Their behaviors were so off, the entire table would tense when they would walk over, waiting for the inevitable coldness and just discomfort. There was one time where the entire table laughed when the waitress walked away because we genuinely couldn't believe their outwardly and unprovoked hostile behavior as wait staff. Based off other reviews, this seems to be a trending experience at this location - absolutely go to any other Mexican restaurant in the area that will 100% actually make you feel welcome and not purposely ruin your meal by making it an inhospitable vibe for paying guests. Taqueria Moran. Manchamanteles. Estrella Negra.

Could not get a table for dinner yesterday, so went for lunch with the family. Book online as they’re busy during weekends. The cocktails were great. Tacos are delicious and the garbanzo bowl was tasty and filling. The creamed corn , watermelon salad, vegan street nachos ( amazing taste)and guacamole were delicious too. The taco ice cream and mini churros finished the meal very well. However we had to wait for a long time for the food. Cameron who served us was kind and apologised for the delay. All in all a great venue. It’s close to California station on the blue line metro

To preface, I really do enjoy their food, drinks, and ambience. Unfortunately the service at this location is abysmal. My family and I walked in for a late lunch on a beautiful sunny Sunday afternoon a couple of weeks ago. We intentionally chose to dine somewhere with outdoor seating. The host was immediately unfriendly, he somehow seemed bothered with us being there from the second we walked in. There were quite a few open tables outside, but he would not let us sit there because our party was too large (5 of us) and was unwilling to let us push two small tables together. No problem… we asked about the upstairs rooftop, which he failed to mention was an option. “It will be too sunny”…. Ok, let us be the judge of that? We told him we’d still like to check it out. He brought us upstairs begrudgingly where there were several large open tables, all in shade, because there is literally a canopy over the rooftop blocking the sun. It was clear he didn’t want us to dine there from the jump and I have no idea why. Our server also greeted us coldly. It felt like the whole staff was trained to make people feel like a burden that day. My whole family felt extremely put off by this experience

Vibes are immaculate, the music provides a cheery amicability that matches the bright and festive flavors of the food. The collabo with Bang Bang pie on the biscuits and (fried mushroom) gravy is a revelation, the metric coffee is rich and tasty and the crudo tomatillo salsa made me reconsider my position on red vs green salsas. The staff are friendly and punctual, the facilities are clean and I’ve never had to wait for seating. Easily a favorite for brunch or lunch and when golden teardrops is open watch out because you are going to be singing their praises too along with your favorite karaoke. 5 stars, came here to celebrate my engagement and if I’m lucky they’ll also host my funeral.

Food: I ordered the Fried Chicken Taco Bowl. With the exception that I wish the chicken wasn't as hot in temperature as I was hoping, but rather just warm, I thought the difference in textures and flavors in the bowl complimented each other really well. I was able to finish it in one sitting and wasn't over stuffed. I ordered the Chaco Taco as dessert: the horchata ice cream was the perfect compliment with dark chocolate and peanut-pretzel crumble coating. I'd easily order it again without hesitation. I additionally had the Lavender Lemonade 🍋 which was extremely sour which I don't mind personally, however it's lacking in much if any lavender 🪻 flavor. There's a bit of lavender buds on top as garnish but didn't pick up on it's flavor in the lemonade. Friends ordered the following: the Rodrigo Al Pastor bowl was savory and filling. The vegan Truck Nachos were very filling and can be eaten as a meal if not shared as an appetizer. Service: As for service in terms of waitresses, our waitresses popped in randomly here and there but not much attempt at interaction. Good recommendations and conversation from one of the bartenders downstairs at least. Atmosphere: Definitely a restaurant to visit during the day, it's too dimly lit in the evening to enjoy the warm sunset pinks and oranges of the walls. They have a rooftop patio that I would be curious to visit during warmer weather.

I ordered the Caesar salad with salmon and it was absolutely amazing!!! The customer service was fantastic! I went in the middle of the week during lunch. I ordered a strawberry margarita for a drink. Parking isn’t the best unless you opt for valet or a nearby parking garage. Overall, my experience was a 10/10. I will definitely be back!

Mother’s Day Afternoon Tea- Disappointing and Not Worth the Price We brought our mom here for Mother’s Day tea and were really disappointed, especially given the high price- even more than what we paid at the Ritz a couple years ago. The event was in a windowless, undecorated room, with a DJ playing loud music that made it hard to talk. The drinks were “bottomless,” but we sat with empty glasses for 20+ minutes because the bar was “backed up”- even though the room wasn’t full. The tea kettle had just one tea bag floating inside, tag and all. The food looked nothing like the photos- no scones or sandwiches, just deep-fried snacks and grocery store pastries thrown on a tiered tray. No napkins, no linens - nothing special. Our server was sweet and did the best he could with what he had. Not his fault. But overall, this felt more like a cash grab than a luxury experience. Definitely not what you’d expect from a hotel like The Gwen.

Nice outdoor terrace for dinner and/or drinks. The food was good, along with the service. (They were short staffed and the manager stepped in to help his servers, which was nice to see.) The inside area has tables and bar seating. The outside terrace has tables and couch seating, with some couches equipt with firepits. I highly recommend making reservations for either one because you can specifically reserve them, and they fill up quickly online. Food is reasonably priced for that area of the city, and so were some of the drinks. However, wine and premium liquors were very expensive. Overall, it's a great place to go.

Awful awful awful!!! Avoid the high tea experience- our group left feeling scammed! Very disorganized, they had no idea what package we purchased and had to reconfirm it a number of times as well as having to remind them of our friends dietary restriction. We paid $120 A PERSON!! for some nasty boozed tea, that none of us was able to drink. Pumped with sugar and just not tasty. The tower?! Literally all deep friend and sugary snacks… we didn’t even touch it. It was supposed to be bottomless. We asked more for the savory items but they only came back with 2 of the items and said this is all they have left!!! Unacceptable On top of the $120 we paid PER PERSON! We had to order brunch food bc the hightea experience was not filling and left ALOT to be desired. Truly disappointing! Stay far away, spend your money elsewhere. People were all nice though

Had brunch at the Gwen and had a fun time. The view and seating area outside on the terrace was amazing. I ordered the Smoked Salmon & Bagel and it was delicious, highly recommend it. Nice hotel connected to the restaurant on the inside as well.

Wonderful views, excellent mocktails and cocktails. The truffle fries are insanely good. Had a wonderful time.

Stopped in for Saturday brunch, waited about 15 for a table. Food was good but not great, service was slow at the beginning then improved. Rooftop terrace was a lovely experience.

$22 for 8 wings with no fries and the wings wasn’t a good chimi in all honesty. They up charge ranch for $2.50 and that should definitely be disclosed we spent $6 just on ranch. Green tea shot and cocktails taste great and strong average price.gorgeous rooftop but not for food, just drinks and vibes. Music is okay radio style .

I went here with my sisters for a birthday weekend and we were excited to try this place. It looked so cool from all the pictures. Here is how I feel about the place. First there is not enough shade on a hot day I get that it is a rooftop after all. The games were kind of fun the oversized cards are hard to hold for smaller handed people and don't play jenga when you food arrives as it tumbled into our dishes. I ordered the Al Pastor Tacos which said they were $13 on the menu. I didn't notice till we left that I was charged $15 for them instead. This was due to the fact that they are so lazy they won't let you split your bill (other restaurants did this too but one amazing place had a QR code to split it ourselves and we were grateful). The tacos were just meh, they came on corn tortillas that were disgusting and that detail was not on the menu or I would not have ordered them. The drinks were overpriced and small. Not worth the hype.

So I am going to start by saying I am in my 40's and so is everyone in my party. With the being said. The vibe was a cool outdoor beach bar theme. Downstairs security was rude and unprofessional. Music was loud and we couldn't talk. Beer's and drinks come in a plastic cub. I saw a bartender kinda clean a beer tower and serve it out. Dinner i had nachos. It's then picture. It was $30 which i thought was not bad. Lots of food. Nachos were good. I enjoyed them. The tacos were $13 for 2 pork tacos. They were ok, not good, just ok. Our waitress forgot about us and we had to go find her for refills and the check. The bathroom was not pleasant. I watched people my age walk up and then leave. It is not a place for people 35 or higher.

DONT EAT HERE. The food is not edible. the worst I ever had in life. $22 for 2 tacos. They were dry. Fries rock hard. Wings were almost worst than the tacos. The venue is super cute. Games were fun. I would recommend going to chill with friends but eat BEFORE you go. Server and manger were nice. I gave 3 stars because our server was a sweet heart. If not this would be a 1 star review

My boyfriend and I came in right before the rain started today but still had a decent time. Got a new drink (includes Cognac & Amaretto Sour) made by the great bartender Alan. 10 out of 10 recommended. Great music, drinks, & views!

We went on a slow day. It was empty. But they have photo props & games to play. The food was decent. Service was amazing.

Fun spot for drinks, we tried several. Their corn ribs and fried pickles were really good. The loaded fries were really soggy with no flavors. They have some group games to play. We spent some time on the roof and it was really fun

Had a great time Friday night! The service was impeccable! We were very disappointed that the rooftop was closed. That was the reason for our visit. But our server, Chase was amazing and the manager, I cant remember his name, was so pleasant. They made sure the birthday girl had all the extra attention she deserved. Hopefully, when we return the rooftop will be open.

We really enjoyed our dinner here last night! (Located on the top floor of our hotel Kimpton Gray). We had great service and suggestions from the bartender and had a seriously delicious dinner in the dining room. Stylish and cozy with tropical plants dotting the area, it has a lovely atmosphere. Right now is Latin Heritage Month there was an additional menu. I had the corn with cotija cheese, chili and fresh lime-I’m going to have to recreate this at home! I had the fresh seared salmon with lime cilantro rice and mango salsa, and my husband had the grilled octopus. The food is sublime, you must try Boleo 🤩

Boleo is a must if you come to Chicago. Our server Chace was amazing, made our anniversary evening feel very special here. Food was amazing drinks were even better and the atmosphere... chef's kiss.

Didn't mind the visit here. Food and service was good. Although it's a rooftop location, it's enclosed.

The pictures and website do a great job of getting you there. The bar area has ripped chairs, the food is ok, and the atmosphere is a hotel restaurant. To call it “roof top” is a stretch. More like skylight.

had a wonderful meal, and the staff was incredible. Shout out to Chace probably some of the best service, and friendliest staff i have ever had at a restaurant. Highly recommended and will be back!

Boleo offers a neat rooftop bar, but we missed out on the main draw due to rain. The atmosphere indoors was pleasant enough, but it felt like just another restaurant without the open-air vibe. The food was decent, but not particularly memorable. The empanadas were definitely the highlight, while the ceviche could have used more seasoning. The remaining dishes were satisfactory, but nothing stood out as exceptional. Service started off strong, but unfortunately tapered off as the meal progressed. It's unlikely we'll return, but Boleo could be a convenient option if you're already staying at the Kimpton Gray Hotel.

Been here a few times and the vibe is always good. The truffle fries are always good so I’d definitely recommend those. We also ordered the popcorn shrimp, whipped ricotta, and some queso dip (not the best). The bartender was friendly/attentive and took good care of us he made “Vu From The Sidecar” was refreshing and well balanced. Had to ding them on service because the security guard and the host weren’t the friendliest and made it seem that they didn’t want to be bothered by our presence. But the bar back, busser, and food runners were very kind and I felt they went above and beyond.

Great views and patio area. Terrible food, servers were great but the cook staff you pick the food up from could careless. Had the hot chicken sandwich that was over fried and greasy. My friend ordered the same thing ate two bites and threw it out.

I recently visited VU Rooftop Bar and unfortunately, my experience did not meet expectations. While the space itself is stylish and offers a nice atmosphere, the service and food timing left much to be desired. We had an 8:30 reservation, but the pacing of our meal was extremely disorganized. Our appetizer didn’t arrive until nearly an hour later, and by then, one entrée had already been served. My companion received his chicken sandwich first, followed by our appetizer about 10 minutes later. Meanwhile, I was left waiting much longer—my burger did not arrive until almost 10 p.m., nearly 30 minutes after he had already been served. This created an awkward dining experience, as one of us was left eating alone while the other waited. In addition, the cocktails were underwhelming. For the premium prices charged, the drinks tasted overly diluted, with more juice than alcohol, which did not feel like a good value. Overall, the atmosphere has potential, but the service flow, food timing, and drink quality fell short. At this price point, I expected a more coordinated and polished dining experience.

Terrible service. Waiters didn’t even check on us. Took forever to get our orders placed. Food was not good. Everything was undercooked, tuna was spoiled, potatoes were raw, $45 half chicken was by far worse than a $5 chicken from Costco. On top of that they charge 20% service fee and $10/person for reservation and STILL have the balls to ask for tips. 100% should have gone to subway across the street. Would have been much better, and cheaper. Do NOT recommend.

The staff was amazing!!! They were kind, attentive, accommodating,informative! They did not miss a beat! The food was ok. It was good but there wasn't a flavor that stood out. I had the crab salad, truffle fries, and flat bread. All very good but they don't get the Amazing Angie Award!!! Overall, we had a great time celebrating my sister's 50th birthday!!!

I had a private event here and leading up to the event Monique was incredibly helpful and responsive. The day of, Oscar and his team were attentive, quick and overall great. We had an open bar and the bartender was quick and knowledgeable. Without a doubt I would have another event here. The views, furniture, and amenities were great.

We only stopped in for drinks (so no opinion on the food). But cocktails were fun and delicious and our server was attentive. There was an event that evening so we didn’t have a view table but the overall

Rooftops in Chicago have some of the best views and Kennedy Rooftop is no exception! Located at Hyatt Place in Wicker Park you can see the entire skyline. Along with the views, try the delicious food menu and drinks. I really recommend brunch here. Pancakes, eggs or other goodies are available. And of course brunch cocktails! Don’t get me started on the trio of mimosas haha exceptional service! Definitely a must visit.

Kennedy Rooftop on the 7th floor of the Hyatt in Wicker Park is an absolute gem! The views of the Chicago skyline are stunning and create the perfect backdrop for a night out. The cocktails were delicious, and the vibe was just right. It was lively but still comfortable. I had good service from my waitress, Fernanda, who was attentive, and friendly. If you’re looking for great drinks, a great atmosphere, and some of the best rooftop views in the city, Kennedy Rooftop is a must-visit! A plus that’s it’s located in the hotel and free and convenient parking nearby on the street.

Beautiful rooftop bar with panoramic views of the Chicago skyline! My daughter, her fiancé and I visited the restaurant / bar one evening while staying at the hotel for their wedding. Very nice vibe, comfy seating and great service from Nicole. Chicken kabobs, caprese, and a rooftop burger along with a couple NA beers - all good. Piped in music made it a little hard to have conversation and it was little pricey. But you can’t get views like that every.

Had an amazing evening at the Kennedy Rooftop’s heated igloos in Wicker Park! The cozy ambiance combined with panoramic views of Chicago’s skyline made for an unforgettable experience. Sipping on their signature cocktails while nestled in a warm igloo was the perfect way to enjoy a winter night. The staff was attentive, and the menu offered a delightful array of options. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking to enjoy the city’s beauty in a unique setting!

Kennedy Rooftop is such a vibe! Located in Wicker Park, this spot has some of the best skyline views in the city. We ordered a mix of bites, including buffalo wings, a Caesar salad, fries, and a charcuterie board—everything was so good, especially paired with their killer cocktails. The atmosphere was fun and lively, making it the perfect place to catch up with friends or just enjoy a night out. With a stylish setup, plenty of seating, and those unbeatable views, Kennedy Rooftop is definitely one to add to your list!

Loved the view from the rooftop and the ambiance with the heated lamps, fire pit, and the live music playing were all a great touch! Food was pretty good, we ordered the carne asada, el pastor, and chicken tinga tacos from their Taco Tuesday $3 deal and they were good. We also ordered the mango ceviche which my partner loved so much, the beef sliders were so delicious and warm, and the blueberry cheesecake was a good finish.

Kennedy Rooftop is such a great spot! The views of the Chicago skyline are absolutely stunning, especially around sunset. The atmosphere is super chill and perfect for catching up with friends or just enjoying some time outdoors. The food was really good—everything tasted fresh, and there were plenty of options to choose from. The staff was friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. Overall, it’s a place I’d definitely recommend if you’re looking for great vibes and amazing city views. I’ll for sure be back!

they must be known for their absinthe because that was the largest part of the menu. also many good cocktails… a little confusing tho because the server wouldn’t let us order certain drinks because “they weren’t good”. the popcorn was cute but was a very small portion for popcorn (i mean, popcorn is really cheap to buy and to make). however the room was really pretty and the views were nice.

This place looks like a wish.com version of a stylish Miami rooftop aka the AI photos they have posted. The patio is something reminiscent of if Motel 6 and Arby’s had a baby during the apocalypse…. it’s a barren concrete slab with patio furniture that looks stolen from a liquidation sale at a failed Chili’s. Do not go. Instead, go to an abandoned parking garage roof and drink a four loco. Same experience.

Came for the rooftop vibes, and it didn’t disappoint! Located on the 24th floor of the Pendry Hotel, it offers a nice view of the downtown area with comfortable seating and a stylish atmosphere. The service was excellent from start to finish. The lobster roll was delicious, and the drinks were just as good. Perfect spot for great food, drinks, and city views.

Romantic and cozy night place to grab drinks, def try the lychee martini! Limited roof seating, staff were friendly, quick and welcoming

This place honestly sucks. $20 for Chicago’s most average cocktails. Dusty plastic plants, no vibes, music feels like I’m shopping in Walmart. Service was friendly and fine. Literally go anywhere else.

I absolutely loved this place ! The views of the city are great, the service was lovely and the food was nice. Keep in mind that the outdoor seating is limited so make reservations during summer, the inside seating is really beautiful too. It is pricey but worth it in my opinion. They don’t have a big menu but they serve small appetizers and wine and cocktails as well.

Booked the Chateau Carbide experience on OpenTable to celebrate my husband’s birthday and our anniversary. The whole setup is super cute and something different to do but would say poorly executed. They really need to insulate them better. It was about 35 degrees on Saturday night while we were out there and trust me, we felt every bit of it despite having blankets, coats on, and the fire. It was still something fun and different to do but would have been much better if it was 15 degrees warmer. They also said that they couldn't turn the string lights in the garland on so that was disappointing for the ambiance and also confusing because they were on in some of the other chateaus. I would still say 4 out of 5 for experience alone though. So in order to book a chateau, you agree to a $300 food and beverage minimum. The issue here is that the menu is pretty limited. We really struggled to find enough things to order for just the 2 of us to get close to that amount. Unfortunately the drinks were not good. We tried multiple cocktails including the Apres Ski Party and the Star Crossed and glasses of the Cabernet. All were unpleasant to drink. We also got multiple rounds of glasses of Cab (again to get to the minimum) and each time they came in totally different wine glasses and tasted completely different from each other. Mind you that there was only one Cabernet option on the menu. The food was very mediocre. We got the lobster roll, the sliders, and the short rib. They were all fine but nothing special. We also ordered the s'mores platter which was probably the best thing we ordered and I would recommend for cute marshmallow roasting with the fire. Finally noting that we had a 7pm reservation but we were not seated in our chateau until 7:30 because they were running behind with the reservations and they were all full. It is supposed to be a 90-minute time limit so they were likely behind schedule. But just something to note, we were flexible on time so it was fine but you may not want to book before anything that you have to be at by a certain time.

Visited Nobu Chicago and had a mostly great experience with a few hiccups. When we arrived, the management was hesitant to seat us, even though plenty of tables were available — which was a bit frustrating. That aside, once we got seated, everything improved. The service was excellent and the staff were friendly and attentive. Food-wise: • The shrimp dish was delicious, cooked just right. • The variety of sushi was impressive — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully plated. One of the best parts was the rooftop view of Chicago — a stunning atmosphere that adds a lot to the experience, especially in the evening. Overall, a solid 4-star experience. Great food, wonderful ambiance, and service — just wish the front desk had been a little more welcoming from the start.

Nobu rooftop is located on top of the hotel in West Loop, which is very convenient, if you stay in the hotel. There is also a restaurant on the 1st floor. Not sure if there is a parking for those who is staying in hotel, but it was pretty hard to find parking nearby on the street, probably on weekdays it’s easier. Rooftop is very nice, it has tables for 2 and for company of people. We’ve tried sushi, few cocktails and mochi on dessert, everything was tasty. I didn’t like mochi a lot though, I would try different dessert next time. There is also a good music and nice view on downtown.

Great summertime Chi Rooftop Happy Hour! Beautiful rooftop with indoor and outdoor dining. A few shaded areas with couches and high top seats. Great variety on happy with with bites and drinks. Wagyu Sliders 10/10: Chefs kiss! Ordered per slider, trust me get at least 2! Salmon Dry Miso: 10/10 great flavor and fresh Brussels: 10/10 nice and crispy. Not soggy. Great flavor. Will be back for great views, good and service any time!!

The food was ok. Nothing stood out except the crispy Brussel sprouts. The service was average and most of the staff seemed nervous even stressed. Nice views though.

Nice spot for drinks. Lobster tacos get a 1. Who thought to make these lobster tacos so damn small. Other than that beautiful views and nice drinks.

Great view, charming décor, good service and food. The only downside is the cocktails — not worth the price and should be revisited by the bar.

Nobu delivered an unforgettable date night! From the moment we arrived, the rooftop vibes were immaculate—beautiful views, great music, and a live DJ that set the perfect tone for the evening. We started with amazing drinks: I had the passion fruit mojito, super refreshing and smooth, while my man went with the Yuzu Sunset—a bold, citrusy mix with Casadragones Blanco and a hint of spice from Aji Amarillo. Absolutely delicious. For food, we shared the wagyu sliders (juicy and flavorful), the creamy spicy snow crab (rich and melt-in-your-mouth), and the lamb chops anticucho—tender, well-seasoned, and beautifully plated. Every bite and sip was 10/10, and the atmosphere made it even better. Nobu is definitely an elevated date night spot we’ll be coming back to!

A fantastic venue with exceptionally beautiful views. Two of us recently went here for some non alcoholic drinks. We had phony negroni & lust for life lite and both of those were very tasty. We haven't had any food, so I cannot comment on that. If you are out and about in Chicago and want to experience spectacular views whilst having a drink/chat, this place should be in your list 👍 Thanks

Great spot for small bites & views of the city! We loved the chorizo stuffed dates - they were a must try.

Great rooftop with great views! While food menu is limited, the offerings are great! We got the salmon tartar- highly recommend! The steak and French fries. Overall great environment and great staff!

Definitely a mixed experience here! Great service and beautiful atmosphere. A perfect place to get drinks with friends and family or to celebrate a special occasion. The food was a little of a let down, nothing was particularly bad but also nothing that stood out to us. For the prices, the portions were very small (pizza is a very small flatbread) and there was nothing special about the food to us that made the prices justified. Would maybe come back here for drinks and social events but will not be coming here specifically for the food.

Visited with my colleagues on a work trip to Chicago and really enjoyed the experience. The view and atmosphere make for a great casual hangout. We ordered one large plate and a handful of appetizers including fries, crostini, octopus, artichoke, and roast fish. Of them all, the roast fish large plate was the most memorable. It was seasoned perfectly with the right amount of crisp. To wash down the bites, we ordered a few rounds of cocktails. A table favorite was one that included hibiscus, which made the drink a bright pink. The cocktails were well-balanced, fusing flavors without losing the essence of the base liquor. Overall, a memorable experience. If you’re okay paying a little extra for the view, give it a go.

Decent experience. Topped by the view. Service was a bit slow. 25 min for an order of fries. Drinks took about 20 min. 52 bucks for 2 drinks and fries, which were over seasoned. Serving food boards way past acceptable for a high-end place. Probably won't be back.

Such a cute bar! I've been wanting to go for a while and it was definitely worth it! It's fully covered outdoor seating which makes for beautiful views. The drinks and food were fantastic as well. The service was friendly and fast so would recommend to anyone looking for an upscale bar with some beautiful views of the city from River North!

Views are amazing from all around. One of the best rooftop views in Chicago! Nice music, quick service, you can't go wrong.

Rooftop season is here! We kicked it off at Aire Chicago at the Media Launch Opening Party in the Hyatt Centric Chicago Aire Chicago is an oasis in the urban jungle of Chicago's loop. Rejoice in the spectacular views of the iconic city skyline. A good vibe that was enhanced by the music of a live band: "pure soul" with modern pop dance music played during their breaks. A mixture of ages among the customers makes for a well-balanced atmosphere where everyone feels welcome. The dress code was casual to business and some came party-ready. They have excellent crafted drinks. The aire old fashioned: well balanced and flavorful Up in the air: fruity and sweet with a hint of lime Bahama colada: dangerously sweet. A frosty perfect for those hot summer days. The beef barbacoa tacos had an excellent taste with mouth-melting beef. The carnitas tacos: the hard-to-resist smokey sweetness of roasted peppers, with meat stewed close to a melting point, are very hard to resist. Pesto shrimp flatbread: what Sicilian pizza ought to be Spicy chicken wrap: a complete healthy meal on a hand wrap. On Fridays they have a DJ mixing it up, and on Sundays they offer "Concerts Under the Stars" with live music that will be varied. From Abba to Sinatra, Lizzo to Beyoncé, is sure to be amazing. We highly advise that you get your tickets online in advance as tickets sell out quickly. We had a wonderful time here and can't wait to return!

Drinks were good and pretty well-priced for a rooftop bar. The vibes were pretty bland (could be due to the private events also being held on the rooftop), but honestly you are here for the views and they do not disappoint. Will definitely be bringing more friends up here to enjoy the skyline!

Great place food was good and drinks were great. Service got a little backed up but still great place

Morgan, our bartender, was absolutely amazing. She was fun and professional. We ordered an extra tropical colada because they were so delicious. The tacos and wraps were top notch. The view and ambiance were outstanding. We took many panoramic pics! In summary, Morgan made our visit to Aire an extraordinary experience 😀 ✨️!!

Beautiful view, had the chicken tinga tacos 🌮 which were excellent, but the salsa and guacamole were from a jar. Service was very slow, had to wait a very long time for our food and check.

I didn't try the food here, but the drinks were not great. They did something with the Maker's and coke. It had some weird plastic after taste. I raised this to the waitress and she insisted that it was correct and there's nothing wrong with it and said it's because it's Pepsi. I've had Maker's and Pepsi before and that's not what it tastes like. What a waste of money. The views weren't great either. We were seated across the vacant office building and they were blasting I don't even know what kind of music. The best view is the side you come up to the bar. The rest of the views are meh.

I had an amazing breakfast experience at NoMI today! The food and service were truly incredible — definitely a 10/10. I ordered the steak and eggs, and the steak was perfectly cooked and super tender. Everything from the atmosphere to the attention from the staff made the meal unforgettable. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a top-quality dining experience in Chicago!

This restaurant truly impressed me! The chef crafted an incredible meal, especially the fish, which was exceptionally fresh and flavorful. It’s clear they prioritize quality over quantity, and that care shows in every bite. The service was warm and attentive, making the whole experience feel special.

I visited here for the first time on a certain day in September 2025. We ordered a glass of Berry Smoothie, a glass of Iced Latte , a Lobster Roll Sandwich and a Fried chicken and French toast. Those were very delicious. The staffs were very nice and helpful. It was a nice day. We had a lunch outside.

Went to brunch with my friends and the atmosphere at Nomi was perfect—stylish, relaxed, and great for catching up. I had the Eggs Benedict, and it was delicious- the eggs were cooked perfectly, and the flavors were spot on. My cocktail was a nice surprise, smoky and sweet, with a balanced flavor that paired well with the meal. Service was smooth, the presentation was beautiful, and the overall vibe made it a standout brunch experience. Definitely planning to come back soon!

Located in the Park Hyatt, this high end resturaunt on the 7th floor has beautiful views of the city, including an outdoor patio for lunch and dinner. Our stay let us try breakfast & lunch, each with an abundance of options for all diners. Their Caesar salad may have been in my top 5 off all Ive tried...very delicious. They also have excellent service and friendly hosts.

Richie took wonderful care of us as we enjoyed an early dinner on the rooftop. The meal was beyond delicious - the fried okra may be my favorite appetizer ever - and the drinks were fun and sophisticated.

I went to have lunch the atmosphere was calm and very clear to be today Thursday I loved the soft music and the calm atmosphere the waiter gave me the best attention very helpful and polite the food everything I ordered I loved it I rate it 1000/10 everything very delicious if you are thinking of yourself go and enjoy you will love it and you will have a new experience I will definitely come back but on Saturday or Sunday morning they offer a better breakfast menu

Gene’s is amazing butcher shop with rooftop deck where you can enjoy eateries no freshly prepared sausage from the below store. Only annoying thing - roof restaurant is all cash.

What an amazing 2 floors of fantastic imported food and wine. There are so many lovely choices of German food including a phenomenal butcher shop and deli. There are imported chocolates, spices, honey, fresh produce, fruit juices. Everything you could want. But for us Germanophiles the Brat selection is amazing.

This is a small Germany market. Clean and organiza. I bought sausage and cheese. The second floor has diversity products like beer, wine, pickles, pastas, and others. The sausage are delicious 😋

Gene's Sausage Shop is a Lincoln Square staple that never disappoints. Stopped by on a Saturday afternoon around 2 PM and grabbed a bratwurst with sauerkraut and a side of German potato salad. The brat was juicy and flavorful, and the potato salad had that perfect tang. The rooftop beer garden is a hidden gem—great spot to sip a cold one and enjoy some live music. Service was friendly, and the atmosphere was relaxed. Only downside? It can get busy, so be prepared to wait a bit.

Great German shops with plenty of authentic German options.

I saw so many great reviews of the rooftop of this place but ended up finding it underwhelming. About 10 beers on tap thats fine, not one gluten free or cider option on tap, got one cider in can, not very inclusive. They have sausages but they aren’t grilled on an actual grill or anything just a flat top next to the beer taps. We couldn’t try any food because we came at around 6:30ish and they close at 8pm, so the grill was off. Which is also fine, but the staff behind the bar almost yelled at us for asking for sausages?? He was like “My grill is cold, I’m serving beer and nothing else!” I never faced such rude service anywhere honestly. Also don’t sit on the bar stools in shorts or skirt if you don’t wanna get tetanus real quick because they are as rusty as it gets.

This is an amazing grocery store in the heart of Lincoln Square. They have a great selection of groceries, the second floor adds in a large wine liquor and beer selection, and finally the butcher can't be beat. From fresh cut lamb chops, to as many brat varieties as you can think of, to freshly made pasta salad, they have it all. A must visit if you are in the area!

The rooftop prices are vastly different than the downstairs prices. At least during happy hour. That doesn’t stop you from buying the bucket of $1 beers and bringing them up to the roof and enjoying them. The roof is nice for happy hour but typically gets really busy. Never been on any of the lower levels so can’t comment.

This club looks great for your instagram story but it’s really not. I took my sister for her birthday with a few friends to check it out and it was genuinely one of the worst clubbing experiences I’ve never had. The DJ only played tik tok music (he literally played Messy by Lola Young; love that song but for the club??) and was extremely rude when I requested a Bad Bunny song (straight up gave me a dirty look mouthing the word NO!). The staff were also rude. The bottle girls shove into you (sometimes they straight up shove you), don’t say excuse me, and look like they hate being there. The security guards are on power trip. The club itself is small and gets easily overcrowded. I’ve been to a few clubs in Chicago that have been smaller, overcrowded, and hot but have had a blast. Definitely wouldn’t recommend. At least the sports bar is decent.

$20 Saturday night cover, bouncers frisk guys at the entrance. Big UFC fight night on first floor. Bar seating was full, tables set aside for big spenders. Pretty fun dance floor upstairs but getting up there is a 50/50 chance due to limited space, especially later into the night as it gets super crowded. Might not be best for groups larger than 5. DJ mainly plays TikTok songs for about a minute each. Music is WAY too loud, wear earplugs or you will absolutely get hearing damage. Loud music is fun, but these levels were excessive and honestly dangerous, my watch picked up 120dB. Impossible to talk to anyone, had to communicate with the notes app haha

The crowd is mostly very VERY young frat boys. Music is alright, drinks are good. If you are looking for a pre club space, this might be a good spot, but if youre looking for a more elevated club experience just skip it. Maybe fun for your first time at a club with no experience.

Myself and a few friends stopped in during the Octoberfest on Saturday. We had purchased tickets and had a ticket for a drink at Joy. Entering we were physically patted down. None of the other bars required this. Once in we presented out drink tickets to the bar tender. She got the drinks and then tried to charge us for the drinks. I reminded her that we gave her the drink tickets and she acted as if we were trying to get a free drink. The bouncer didn't like one of my friends and my friend said something negative when leaving that the bouncer overheard. The bouncer then followed him out to the street where the fest was going on and attempted to kick him out of the fest. He even called the cops. Cops showed up and let him stay but sounded like the bouncer was in the wrong profession if he can't handle a negative comment at a bar. Wasted CPDs time. Will never go back.

I came down to celebrate my birthday week and was told by my promoter that my group would have free access to the second floor. However, when we arrived, I was asked to step out of line with my friends. The bouncer began harassing me, accusing me of doing something to a police officer, something I had absolutely no knowledge of. He spoke to me in a very aggressive manner, making me feel intimidated and genuinely scared for my safety. After that, my friend brought me back to the line, but we were then told we had to pay $20 to get in, despite the promoter’s earlier promise. Ladies, please be warned this is not a safe space. The experience was extremely uncomfortable and frightening.

I was told by a friend to visit Joy and I had high hopes.I went on a busy friday night on Halloween. From their posts I expected more on the second floor. It was packed. Anyways, As I was trying to leave to catch up with my friends I got caught up in a line with the bottle girls on the second floor. I was trying to walk past the bar to go downstairs. I tried to say “excuse me” to a bottle girl and she told me to “Get back”. I apologized and let her know it was my first time there. Another bottle girl said it was ok… but Immediately after a security guard walked me out with no explanation. I couldn’t grab my jacket or my camera that I left inside. And I had to wait for my friends in the cold, like I did something wrong. Other than that the vibes were kind of cool. VIP was really dark and crammed with drinks spilled everywhere. Bartenders ignored me when I asked to use my eventbrite promo for a free drink. Staff seemed very irritated. Bathrooms were dirty and packed.

Cute rooftop, great vibe. The service was polite but pretty slow. We had to ask for our waiter to bring us water. Liked the calamari.

Food- decent to average bar food. Drinks- disappointed, They fill their glass up with ice, less variety, and there are much better cocktail bars in Chicago. Their bartenders are not generous on their pours. Service - was good, servers were polite. Views- good. Overall- an Okay experience. Would i go back? Maybe not. Given you can get better drinks elsewhere and that there’s plenty of rooftops in the city.

Pretty place, nice views. The food was quite good,spinach and artichoke dip and the salmon ceviche were very good. Service was quite slow. Drinks were not good whatsoever, and there ton of ice to cover up the fact that they give you a quarter of liquid. La vaquera tasted like cucumber w club soda.

Bought a day pass on resortpass. For roughly the same cost as a ticket to the aquarium you can relax at the roof top pool. The unique views of the city and the surrounding architecture are what make this a great spot. Youll be able to take in views of the lake, and see some of the finer details of what makes Chicago architecture great. The breeze is nice, the setting is well thought out. The plants and small flowers placed throughout the roof top are pretty. The pool itself is small and its hard to tell from the photo. Its about only 3-4 ft deep and 15-20 feet in length. The pool heated up by around 1 but was cold in the morning. The food was good, cocktails are expensive but given the property it isnt out of line of what would be expected. The devereaux wont be open, but you will walk through it for the bathroom. There is a small separate bar for the pool. My plans werent for later in the day so this was a nice filler to relax. They also held my bags all day while I was out and about. The food was good! I would recommend the fish and chips over the fish tacos.

I would make a reservation if you want to sit outside, be aware it's a $40 deposit that goes toward your bill to reserve a spot. Overall the rooftop was pretty small but great views from gold coast, the pool adds to some great ambiance at night. The fire pits and seating all around are great, but the seats are some of the most uncomfortable for a rooftop. Overall the drink selection is ok, but some frozen drinks make it fun on a nice night. If you have a group of 4 or more you can rent a fire pit. Overall we had fun but not sure if I'd come back, leaving it as a four star as service and location were a ton of fun, but unfortunately it wasn't anything special.

We came here for a quick drink before close to check out the view. The bar team was super friendly and made our experience special. The rooftop has a great view, fun cocktail menu and hip vibe. The food menu didn’t had many options, we just had a french fries. The wine they recommended was really good. Looking forward to our next visit!

Cute lil place for a drink and chill. My date and I froze on the rooftop thanks to Chicago's mercurial weather but we still enjoyed (they do have blankets & firepits 😊). I would absolutely return in the summer to enjoy the pool.

I will start with the service, I felt that they had an attitude and wasn’t somewhat friendly. They never asked if we are there for any special occasion or anything. The waitress was nice and kept asking if everything is fine. The food was not good, for the price the taste was not what expected. The atmosphere was fine not that rooftop that to expect its on the 4th floor the power cables were visible so don’t expect a lot. When we enter the floor the bathroom doors were open and even when we left they were still open which is not a pleasant sight to see in an expensive place. You can use the parking garage next to the building and then use the elevator to the 4th floor to the bar.

We had reservations for Saturday night. I highly recommend having a reservations. Your reservation is confirmed downstairs before getting access. FYI, a deposit is required while booking the reservation. The service was great, our waitress was super pleasant and she recommended a few of her favs from the menu. The vibe was very chill. There was no actual DJ but the playlist was decent. The views of the city skyline at night were beautiful. It definitely had a lounge feel. I just know brunch time is a good time. We kept our food order light because it was late. I had the octopus and my friend ordered the tempura roll. We also ordered the truffle fries. Please keep in mind it’s a small menu (you can checkout the menu on their website). Everything we ordered was so good! I would for sure return when I’m back in Chicago.

Our experience was phenomenal and the staff/management were VERY supportive and accommodating. We were celebrating my sister’s birthday and decided to give Godfrey another chance. The servicer we had was VERY nice and kept checking on our table throughout our whole stay. My entree dish was missing chicken and she had a new one remade while also offering us free champagne for our whole group for the inconvenience. The food could have been a little bit better considering the price we paid but it was still edible. I ended up taking my entree home and when I asked for a plastic bag was told they “ ran out of bags” how does a well established restaurant in River North run out of basic necessities like plastic bags. I still would DEFINITELY recommend to anyone looking for a great place with great vibes and amazing views just remember to bring your own plastic bags if you plan on taking your food home.

Absolutely loved this place! We stopped in for drinks and appetizers, and everything was delicious. The views are stunning, the ambience is fantastic, and the atmosphere has a cool, upbeat, upscale vibe. It was an extremely hot day in Chicago, but this rooftop was exactly where we needed to be. Getting to the rooftop was a bit of a hassle — the front desk attendants gave poor (and unfriendly) directions — but once we made it up, the experience totally made up for it. Sadly, I deleted my pictures. I’ll definitely be back!

The entire experience was great from checking into our reservation on the rooftop to exit. The hostess was inviting. Our server, Jennifer, was energetic, attentive, timely with her service. Additional wait staff were exception in there services as well. Bring out orders and collecting empty dinnerware. The food was delicious, with amazing portion sizes. Ordered the Wagyu Beef Sliders, Steak Salad, Dragon Maki Roll, Avocado Toast Signature Black Truffle Fries, Mango Daquiri, and the Frose All Day. The rooftop itself was beautiful. Nice crowd, perfect weather, and cool views. As a first time experience, my expectation were exceeded. I will be back.

Drinks and food were great! You can’t beat the location, views and vibes. We celebrated D’s 21st. And she had fun time!

I love this hotel I came to work for a Halloween 🎃 party to be dressed up as one of their scary characters and scare people. I love the design and how they decked this place out for Halloween.

I cannot recommend Celeste enough as a venue for those looking for a small, intimate, lush, memorable space to hold their dream wedding. From the moment we walked through the door for the initial consultation all the way to the moment we left the reception, we were met with the highest possible level of attention, care, and generosity from every single member of the staff. Kassandra handled our entire event and is truly an angel of a person - she made sure our every need and concern was addressed and was such a calming presence throughout the entire (often stressful) planning process. She made everything so easy, made things that seemed like impossible ideas become simple realities, and was so flexible every step of the way, allowing us to transform the rooftop, cocktail room, and disco reception space each into exactly how we envisioned them to be. Coordinating and corralling 40 people back and forth into three different levels in the span of 6 hours is no easy task, but Kassandra and her staff kept us on schedule and hit every checkpoint of the night with such ease. On its own, Celeste is also just such a beautiful space with a ton of charm and served as the perfect backdrop to our wedding. The food was excellent, the drink package was perfect, and all of the little details were handled with such grace and ease. We will be forever grateful to Kassandra and her staff at Celeste for allowing us to have the perfect wedding!

I have never had a bad time here. Ladies— if you need a place to chill, come sit at the bar. Especially if Sammy is working. You’re going to have an amazing time. I always feel safe and comfortable here.

Nestled in the heart of downtown, Celeste offers a unique speakeasy experience with its three-floor layout. I particularly enjoyed the cozy ambiance of the second floor, perfect for a romantic date night on chilly winter days. We started our evening with a delightful selection of vine and Caesar salad, and to top it off, we indulged in some crispy fried chicken bites.

Yeah, be prepared for a good night of dancing and stairs. 100% recommend if you are into good music. Chicago House rules.

Super fun tri level bar! Each level has a different bar on it eith different drink options and the top two are for dancing. The cocktails were delicious no notes, and if you reserve a table downstairs you can still go up to dance!

Haven't been to a "club" in ages so its just not for me. Each level has a different ambiance which is nice and the music is different in each one. If its ur thing, than go for it. Getting a drink isnt hard and people are mainly there to enjoy a night out.

My friends and I went to Celeste to see a DJ friend who was performing last night, but our first experience there was terrible. The place was extremely crowded, there was no air circulation, and it was impossible to move. At one point, I grabbed an ice cube from a bucket next to me because I was literally struggling to breathe. Then four security guards surrounded me, and one of them pushed me and started yelling at me, telling me to leave. It was humiliating and completely unnecessary. I even took a photo right after the incident to show how chaotic and disrespectful the situation was. No one deserves to be treated like that. I can’t show their faces, but they are the same people who work at the front. Be very careful and don’t waste your time at places like this.

Excellent experience, great drinks and the view is fantastic. Wife and i stopped in for a few drinks. 530pm on a Tuesday and it was perfect. Plenty of space and no crowds. We tried the mixed nuts and olives, both were a good snack. I had a whistle Pig 15 and she ordered a Zen Garden. We also tried an IPA and she did a Mocktail. Temperature was a bit chilly but we still enjoyed the view and service was great. Staff was friendly professional and accommodating. Highly recommended.

Thanks to Google Maps for helping us find this rooftop bar. We walked in at about 5 pm on a Saturday as it was just starting to fill in. We had a great view and fine cocktails. Despite how busy it got, our server was very helpful and communicated with us often. The “black diamond” cocktail was fun, but the smoke aspect loses a little bit in the high winds at 13 stories up. The views are lovely and unobstructed. It was just a perfect place to hang for an hour or so and just enjoy Chicago.

Rooftop gem in Wicker Park. The drinks here are on point every time I've come here. This visit got the excellent Negroni which was superb 👌🏽 9.5. This is not a large place but the views at the top is worth the visit.

Great cocktails and service, unbeatable views of the city! Skyline, Honey Heights, and City Glow cocktails all well-balanced and on point, especially the cream cheese foam in the Honey Heights, a must-try!

The Up Room NEVER Disappoints! Ever! Wanted to clarify from another reviewer, AUTO GRATUITY is ONLY on checks for 6 or more people. Not EVERY check. We have been there for 2 of us, and 7 of us. The only automatic gratuity was our big group. With that said, be a good human, tip your servers and bar staff at least 20%! Now! On to my own review! NEVER have we had a bad experience here. Not once. We've been at least a dozen times since moving here. Indoor service, outdoor service, bar service. Always perfection. We love the little charcuterie boards here too. The cheeses, meats, nut mix is yummy, as are the olives! The cocktails are literally to die for. SO GOOD! AND they have those absolutely beautiful clear huge ice cubes! Gorgeous in an Old Fashioned! This lounge has very talented and skillful bartenders, who are literally so creative and artistic! It's a blast to go there and say, "Surprise me!" and then be served something incredible! The staff here are also SO friendly and helpful. And QUICK. We have never been left waiting. In the dozen or so times we have been there, we have had experiences with Audrey, Demetrio, Alice, Emma, Seth, Jesenia, and Managers Keke and Germaine. All absolute professionals. It's rare to find so many incredible people are in one place. I guess this is how you end up with "our favorite spot!" How do I know all their names? Because that is JUST HOW GOOD the experience is there. Worth remembering! Oh! Almost forgot, THE VIEW!! WOWOW!!! Take that view in! It's so worth it!

Great spot above the Robey Hotel. Very jumping. Can be a long wait to get a table but we got lucky and were seated immediately. Greta views of the city and a great cocktail menu. Great ambiance and music choices as well.

Spectacular nighttime views to enjoy a glass of champers. Lounge music vibe. Mixed aged groups. A must see for your out of town guests. No food. How much you spend depends on your drinking tolerance.

Great place. Went on a holiday and couldn’t really get in anywhere downtown. Found this West town gem and am so happy we did. The staff is amazing. The food was next level. The space is elegant and welcoming. I’ve never had Portuguese food before - and it was an absolute winner. Our waiter was Hector, and he made sure we only had the best dishes, drinks, and experience. I’d go again in a minute.

Oh my was this a huge disappointment. Have been wanting to check this place out for a while. Ordered small plates and temperanillo. Vibe is cute but that’s sort of where it ended for our experience. The wine was the only part of the meal worth buying. I knew the second the ‘summer salad’ was brought out that we had made a mistake. $14 for a single tasteless underdressed tomato+ an orange sliced up and missing other ingredients, it was laughable. We also got the potatoes (fine, nothing special) and the broccolini. The saffron cream tasted awful and the broccoli I was barely cooked. It was inedible. I got 2 tacos, which were better: carne and pork. So my thought is they do meat well, so it could be entirely different if you get an entree; but otherwise I wanted to cancel the order and leave. It was $100 for tasteless overpriced. I rarely go out to eat lately, so the fact that this was that bad was really disappointing. pros: wine list and atmosphere, otherwise not worth it. Won’t be returning and will no longer be recommending.

Homestead on the roof is amazing. I appreciate the staffs and managers kindness to me even though I have autism and their food is amazing and really good. Owner Scott is very nice. The restaurant is in good condition. Amazing pork confit. Must come back. 10/10.

Very very disappointed in the food this year! We had papo secos, ceviche, oysters, grilled octopus, broccolini and potatoes. Truly nothing was good, just okay and in some instances not good. So bummed. We go once every summer

We had our October wedding at Homestead and it was truly magical. Sam our venue coordinator was above professional - she reassured us in the last few weeks before our event and kept things running absolutely perfectly on the day of. Every member of the staff crushed and our guests raved about the food and service. Beautiful space, beautiful food, beautiful day.

Beautiful atmosphere, with lighting just right. Went for a family members wedding and the food was so good. The staff is so polite and kind, shout out to you Mikayla (girl I hope I spelled that right💔) you were so funny and kind, hope to come back soon!

Came in for the Filipino food iteration. Beautiful rooftop space. We shared the pandesal, papaya salad, sinigang, and the shrimp and pork lumpia. We had also ordered the manok but didn’t eat that on site. The food and drinks took an extremely long time to arrive at the table. Our server remarked on that fact a number of times. It was extremely loud on the rooftop with both the music and a number of large parties so it was hard to communicate with our server. He did his best given the circumstances. When the food finally arrived, it was delicious. However, the wait times were so long that our server brought our check before the Manok had arrived at our table. We took it home in takeaway boxes. Additionally, someone bussing a table nearby spilled water on me and only remarked “it’s just water” and walked away. They did not help clear the spill on our table nor offer me a towel/napkin to remedy the situation which was rather off putting.

A truly wonderful place that makes you want to come back. One summer evening, my friend and I went to the bar. Unfortunately, I didn’t catch the manager’s name, but he was incredibly attentive: he took photos of us together, and when a heavy rain started, he kindly offered to move us under shelter, brought all our food over, and even gave us umbrellas. You don’t often see this level of care from management — he did everything to make sure we were comfortable. The rain passed, but the memories of that lovely evening and the staff’s kindness stayed with us.

The space is nice and the staff are kind, but the food and cocktails are nothing special! I expected much more especially from their bar, but the cocktails we ordered were not as good! Also, their website says they close at 12 but they closed at 11 while we got there at 10:15 and as soon as we sat they said the last call for both food and drink is at 10:30.

Where to start? They called us 10 minutes before our reservation saying “the kitchen was broken” but we could still come have drinks. This was on a Saturday evening on a holiday weekend, so we weren’t sure if we’d be able to sit down anywhere else, especially with a larger group, so we asked if we would be permitted to bring in outside food, to which we were rudely told no. The host continued to have an attitude towards us. Then we were informed the kitchen was working again and were taken to our seats where we were reminded multiple times we had 2 hours and no more to sit and eat. Our group had made 2 reservations but one of our groups was sat at the sofas, which is super ineffective for actually eating food. Most of us had to eat with our plates in our laps, which for the price and “experience” cost is unacceptable. We were also seated behind plants and a concrete barrier so we couldn’t see much of the “rooftop” view. Additionally, one of our groups was asked for a card to hold, the other was not. Incredibly unprofessional, this should be a policy for all guests or no one. I paid $16 for maybe 6 oz of a cocktail and $24 for an average burger. Maybe happy hour is more worth it but dinner is certainly not, especially considering the less than stellar service and the fact that your rooftop view comes with blaring sirens.

Pretty expensive for what you get, considering the "rooftop" bar is only on the 3rd floor of the hotel. My $24 rum drink was served with small ice cubes which watered it down quickly, and the $24 chicken appetizer was two small skewers. It's also quite windy, so be careful about flying menus and spilling drinks. Service was okay, but slow and unenthusiastic.

Streeterville Social is a hidden gem in the heart of the city — a rooftop that truly lives up to its name. The outdoor ambiance is absolutely beautiful, with stylish seating and greenery that creates a relaxed, inviting atmosphere. It wasn’t crowded when we visited, which made it the perfect spot to unwind, enjoy some cocktails, and have easy conversation with friends. Service was excellent from start to finish — attentive, friendly, and never overbearing. Everything felt clean and well-maintained, adding to the overall comfort of the experience. The cocktails were well-crafted and refreshing, and the food hit the mark too — satisfying without being overly heavy, which is just what you’d want for a rooftop setting.

Well, it’s pretty rare that I decide to post a negative review to tell you honestly I got there larger plate steak and their grilled coconut shrimp. The steak and potatoes were cold and rubbery and not great at all. The coconut shrimp by the way was pretty decent. The waiter asked me how my food was going and I said it’s actually not very good at all and he said oh OK and walked off. I would definitely not recommend coming back unless you’re just looking for a drink

A friend and I patronized Streeterville Social this past Sunday and were appalled by the service. Our reservation was at 2pm. She arrived on time and was able to be seated. I arrived shortly after at about 2:15 and by that point she had not received any service. After I arrived, we sat for another 10 or so minutes and still no one even looked our way. No hello, no waters, nothing. It was especially disappointing to see a table who arrived after us be immediately greeted by a server and given waters. We ultimately left and surely will not be returning.

The service and atmosphere make this place more than worth it to come back again. We got some drinks and ordered some bar food. The bartender/waitress was really cool. Food is just ok. But the atmosphere and service make this place a must stop for lunch.

Had a great time visiting this place for the first time. Came solo but didn't feel uncomfortable at all. Great staff never waited long to get a drink. Utilized their bus service which I think is a very good idea. The sound quality was good and the stage was easy to see from different areas in the venue. Will definitely come back to visit again.

Went to see Conan on 22AUG25 (also Blunt and Mares of Thrace). Staff were amazing. They were friendly and seemed happy to be there. Sound and atmosphere were great. Patrons were respectful and staff were watching to make sure it stayed that way. Had an amazing time. Hail Conan! 🤘🏻

First time at Reggies. Went for Signs of the Swarm. 🤘. I didnt get anything food wise but great variety on drinks. Fun atmosphere. Smaller venue so makes the show feel a bit more personal. Will definitely return for future show or a drink.

Always a pleasure to go to Reggie’s. Staff is chill and noninvasive. Sound is great. The little bleachers style seating absolutely rules if you’re over a certain age or just a tired Gus. Wish every band would play here.

The drinks were strong, the music was loud! It was a smaller venue but the balcony provided for a little escape from the crowd downstairs. The acoustics were great. Can’t wait to be back!

Don't let the fact that this is a chain restaurant throw you off. We got a stuffed Chicago style and a thin crust Italian beef with both sweet and hot peppers. Both were absolutely delicious.

The staff was nice the food options were weird but the pizza was oddly okay. The pizza also seem to have lunch meat in it the claimed to be a special meat from Italy . The drinks (I had a Long Island) are good but $15 for one and shots are $15 I attach a photo of the glass size for the Long Island and the amount of liquor for the shot . Also the music is very odd kinda disco with old school mixed in but not in a good way. Still a beautiful view of the city. The rice balls come in threes and they are so good .

Bizarre and Annoying Experience at Tetto My recent visit to Tetto was one of the strangest dining experiences I've ever had. What started as a rooftop dinner quickly devolved into a series of odd interruptions that completely ruined the evening. First, and most bizarrely, a man came up to our table, uninvited, to take photos of us while we were in the middle of a conversation. He directed us to pose and took about 10 photos, then returned a few minutes later trying to sell the photos to us. It was a completely random and unwelcome interruption, and the fact that the restaurant seems to allow this is baffling. We also saw another person walking around selling Italian ice, which made the whole place feel less like a restaurant and more like a carnival. On top of that, the atmosphere was chaotic. For a Sunday dinner, the place was extremely loud with a DJ and a smoke machine. This wasn't mentioned anywhere online and made it difficult to even have a conversation. The service was also incredibly slow; it took a full 30 minutes just to get a glass of water after we were seated. Asked for a server just to have our own server tell us our server will be right with us, then came back herself later. Felt like I was an annoyance the entire time to the entire staff. They should switch to self ordering and checkout to avoid this entire mess. Place also has automatic 20% gratuity built in that no one calls out. The food was also extremely mediocre. My soda was flat when it came out. Overall, the entire experience was just weird and annoying. I’ve never even seen this happen at any establishment, abroad or domestic. Honestly terrible and ruined what was supposed to be a nice meal. The unprofessional atmosphere and constant interruptions made it impossible to enjoy our time. I definitely will not be returning.

Better than I remember! Went there last night. And the food, thanks to Trattoria RNB has elevated big time. The views are some of the best. This is a rooftop you can’t miss this summer.

A 40-minute wait. The drink I ordered was mango, and it didn't taste good. Upon receiving our table, we were informed that the kitchen would be closing soon. If you're looking for a place with music and a nice view, this is it! But the drinks weren't to my liking.

So… I don’t even know where to start… it was supposed to be an event at a night club. We came at 10pm and party was ending at midnight. Entry fee was 60$ per person and we didn’t even get a chance to dance. Even though it’s a rooftop they said smoking isn’t allowed. When we wanted to go outside to smoke, they said there is no re-entry. So when my friend lit up a cigarette, security guard totally ruined the whole experience!!! He started pushing me out of the bar even though I wasn’t even smoking. Manager was pointing a flashlight at me and another girl manager was absolutely disrespectful! As a customer who didn’t brake law, who was not intoxicated, did not disrespect no one and did not disturb nobody I was treated totally horrible!!! Just do yourself a favor and spend your money somewhere else!

We enjoyed the rooftop for drinks after lunch at Tabu. Several people ordered the pizza, so I'd be interested to check it out next time. What we had: - Spa Day - it had a bit of a pickle flavor which I didn't expect nor love. - Mezcal marg (not on Menu but was good) - Mango Calrissian - it was pretty good

OMG amazing!!! There’s not enough room for me to describe it. You have to go yourself. You have to see the city at night. You have to see it during the day you got to just go. I had the most incredible time. I went two times in one week first to go watch incredible people, DJ and a second time for my nieces 30th birthday both times I had a blast

Needless to say, the Peninsula does an amazing job of creating a wonderful dining experience at this spot, located on the 4th floor of the hotel. Cocktails, wine and a curated sale menu complement the traditional Chinese dishes perfectly. This is a great place to share some dim sum and a plate of delicious meats, fish or fried rice. You won’t be disappointed.

What a wonderful restaurant! Love the old style elegance, our server Christina was fabulous, and the terrace was a wonderful experience. The quiet background Chinese music adds to the atmosphere. Great presentation with the food, and can't wait to come back.

The staff was excellent! I booked it for an anniversary and the staff wished us happy anniversary multiple times throughout the dinner, gave is very special treatment, and provided complimentary desserts. The Peking Duck and Beef Tenderloin were amazing as well.

This is a high end Chinese restaurant, as you would expect. The patio was really nice, shaded. I was disappointed by the seabass but would come here to try more dishes in the future. The mango Peninsula dessert was very good!

My first time having lunch at Shanghai Terrace. Let’s start with the sparkling water, it was warm. We sat outdoors and the temperature was 87 degrees Fahrenheit! Our waiter ignored me several times trying to flag him down for ice. I finally got another waiter to bring a bucket of ice over. It was not even busy. The food came and I thought I was eating food served in China town in a 2 star restaurant. The presentation and the taste of food were horrible. I am a foodie. Never again. And I mean never!! The Halibut was decent but I could steam it myself and throw crushed ginger and sliced red pepper on top, nothing special. The mixed vegetables were bad because the way they cut the different vegetables were as though a child did it and all I tasted was salt, I asked them to leave out oyster sauce and replace with garlic but I did not taste any garlic. The duck soup was bland with too much noodles that my aunt had to remove half of it. The beef fried dumplings had bad meat and tasted salty. This is my honest opinion and I eat out a lot.

My husband took me here for my birthday dinner and we had a phenomenal experience! First of all, the staff are all so friendly and helpful; they immediately set the ambiance while seating you. The outdoor terrace had such a great energy about it and was a great spot to enjoy our meal. The pork dumplings were very juicy and flavorful, the scallops were melt-in-your mouth good (although the picture doesn’t do them Justice), and the Kung Pao Chicken was incredible. We also both loved our cocktails! In addition, the restaurant brought a complimentary dessert to help make my birthday that much more special. We would definitely come here again!

Fried rice and Fried noodle is the best, peking duck and lobster is on par, dim sum and soup is a bit disappointing, doesn't taste like freshly made in the day. Free mooncake and birthday cake is great, better than most desert I ever had in other restaurants, flavorful but not too sweet and too heavy. I would like to come back again for the fried rice/noodle, desert , maybe veggies next time.

The burger is not good. patty on the dry side and was more medium well than the medium that I had ordered. The pretzel bun was also way too thick for the patty. Fries were decent. Food overpriced for the quality and taste that you get. The interior decorations are also outdated and not exciting. No wait for the interior restaurant but had a 30 minute wait at 4:30pm on a Wednesday without reservations. They also do not accept apple pay. Would not recommend.

My 2 adult daughters and I went to LH Rooftop for brunch on a Saturday morning. The food was mediocre, but the views elevated it to four stars. Our server was friendly, but seemed like she was serving too many tables as it took 10 minutes to get salt, etc. One of our appetizers arrived after we were done eating our entrees. I ordered the Elena Ruz, which was decent, and a side of tater tots which were very tasty! We ordered the burger, which was probably the best thing on the table. We also ordered the avocado toast, which was very bland, and by the time the salt arrived, the eggs were completely cold. For apps: the churros were undercooked, but the truffle fries were good. The views made up for it overall.

I have absolutely no complaints about my visit here. I went at 11am when they first opened and was able to be seated immediately. I would recommend having a reservation though because tables fill up pretty quickly. Great drinks, great food, and beautiful views of the city. Highly recommend!

For me LH rooftop was worth a hype. We reserved around sunset, the atmosphere and views of river/downtown was awesome. Because of our timing, we could appreciate the view both in daylight as well as evening city lights. Both views were awesome, may be city light slightly better. For the place like this, menu was really diverse. So many good options to choose from unlike many similar range resturants which usually offer rather plain simple menu. Foods were good as well which were obviously catered for nice dining experience and nobody expects authentic taste in this range resturant. But still food were flavourful. Drinks were also good. Service was nice. I recommend to try this place at least once. We had to reserve couple of months ahead to get out desired date and time.

If you are looking for a great rooftop experience without a reservation, check out the LH rooftop! They have a reservation area but they also have an open area too. The architecture river cruise tour guide recommended this place. It is worth a visit! The drinks and bar service were great! Good service and a great conversational spot.

The food was pretty good and the drinks were absolutely fab. The atmosphere was a total vibe. Recommended the Purple rain sangria and the truffle fries…they were so good I failed to capture a photo! A very large portion and so flavorful. I also recommend the cheesy corn…so delish! The inside back area with a fire wall was beautiful but there weren’t any tables for 3 so we sat inside near a window and it was cute. We wanted to sit outside on the rooftop but unfortunately there isn’t ANY shade up there. That was totally disappointing since the views are amazing. I hope they invest in some canopy’s or umbrellas.

We had a table reserved for 11 AM inside, but when we arrived, we were seated on the terrace. The view was stunning and the service was good. The menu isn’t very diverse, but the dishes we ordered were tasty. A salad, main course, appetizer, and one cocktail came to $101, plus tips were separate. The menu lacks coffee — in the morning, it would be nice to have something hot to drink.

Went for my husband's birthday. Had never been here but I've been wanting to go ever since it opened. What a great restaurant!! The server was awesome! I believe her name was Jennie. So attentive in the best way. Had appetizers, a pasta course and then steaks. Everything was delicious! The view from our table was incredible and loved seeing the buildings along the river light up as the sun set. I must go back soon, it's really that good. Husband loved it and still talks about it. I believe we arrived at 530 and left around 830, the night just flowed easily.

Amazing ambiance and river view - the standout to me was the baked potato. So rich, good crust, and absorbed flavor so well. The spicy rigatoni pasta had good flavor, but it was a little chewier than I’d expect. I liked the steak, but wasn’t overly impressed and I prefer Bavettes. Some compound better would’ve elevated it further. I think this is a great meal, certainly expensive but excellent for business meals.

Went here to treat myself after the Chicago Marathon 2025 because I have see. A lot of amazing reviews. And they didn’t disappoint! I walked in and got a table, the reception was so welcoming and friendly, the staff at the second floor was so friendly too. I ordered the Chicago steak and it was amazing! I was wearing my medal when I went - they are so sweet they gave me a free dessert - chicolate cake with vanilla ice cream. My waitress - Elena - was the best! I was dining alone and she made sure I was attended properly. Thank you so much. I’ll definitely recommend to friends.

Some restaurants serve steak. Gibsons Italia serves a statement. Our group of ten gathered for a business dinner and left with a masterclass in indulgence. From the start, the tone was clear—crisp linens, elegant glassware, and a menu that dares you to order bold. And we did. We opened with a sampler of antipasti—each bite more seductive than the last. The arancini was textbook creamy, the meatball was unapologetically rich, and the truffle risotto teased with depth and decadence. The spicy rigatoni played its part, giving just enough heat to wake up the palate without stealing the show. But let’s not mince words. You come to Gibsons for the meat. Our table took it seriously—ordering a board stacked with wagyu NY strip, Chicago cut, Australian lamb chops, and a few bone-in filets. All were cooked with surgeon-level precision, seared deeply and sliced thick. The crust cracked just enough before giving way to beef that was both buttery and assertive. The lamb chops were fragrant with rosemary and blushing pink to perfection. Sides played the supporting role as expected. The Brussels sprouts had attitude, the mushrooms brought earth, and the potato puree was silk in a bowl. Dessert was not an afterthought. A banana gelato tart stole the spotlight with playful nostalgia and layered sweetness. If you’re still holding court at the table by then, the tiramisu keeps the night lingering. Service was polished but never stiff. And while the final bill climbed into four-digit territory, it felt earned. This is not your weeknight dinner stop—it is your celebration, your deal-closer, your once-a-year indulgence. Gibsons Italia delivers drama and discipline. If you know what to order and how to enjoy it, you will leave grinning.

We had an amazing lunch on a beautiful Sunday. They sat us at a table by the window per our request and Ilarion went above and beyond to make our celebration very special. The brussel sprouts, papparedelle, and Chicago cut steak were delicious. We will be back!

Loved my experience at Gibson! We got king crab bisque, garlic focaccia, king crab arrabiata, cacio e peppe, rigatoni vodka. Server was very nice, they even help split the dishes since we had many people. Arrabiata could be 10x more spicy, but that's because I'm a spicy food eater. Great time celebrating my birthday here. Thanks Gibson team, we'll be back!

The View out the window on the third level is incredible. We got the Chicago Cut ribeye and it was delicious. It was a nice late night meal.

It was a great experience at Nobu for us, was our first. It’s fine dining, amazing sushi options and drinks. Host and servers are very great and very helpful. They can even help you with the recommendations based on what you are looking for. Very beautiful ambiance, elegant and a great spot for a perfect date or with a group of friends. Highly recommend to make reservations ahead of time.

I went to the brunch buffet at Nobu on Sunday. The host and all the staff are great. Place is nice decoration. Cocktail is good. Food station is not impressed at all for the price we paid 75 ++ per person. I think this price, Nobu could do better quality and options. Hot food it’s not hot as it’s pre cook and put under the heat lamp for a while until it’s not hot and fresh and still standing there until someone pick it up. Dessert is good enough but need to manage the flies. I think brunch somewhere else is better to pay this price.

Expen$ive, but amazing! Each dish had my taste buds craving more. The staff worked as a team to make our experience great. Everyone was delightful. P.s. don't pass on the yuzu spicy drink! It wasn't too sweet and hit many notes - paired well.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Nobu Chicago – 854 W Randolph St, Chicago, IL 60607 What an incredible dining experience! ✨ From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is modern, stylish, and welcoming. The interior design is stunning—from the beautiful ceiling details to the elegant dining spaces and even the restrooms, everything feels thoughtfully put together. 🌸 The food is absolutely amazing. Every dish is presented with care and artistry—fresh, flavorful, and unforgettable. 🍣🥢 The salads were crisp and well-balanced, the sashimi and specialty plates were delicate yet bold, and the desserts (like mochi ice cream and green tea delights) were the perfect finish. 🍵🍨 Service was top-notch—attentive, friendly, and professional. The staff makes sure you feel taken care of without being rushed, which really elevates the whole experience. 👌 Nobu is a true gem in the West Loop, an area already known for its amazing restaurants. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion, having a business dinner, or just want to treat yourself to something extraordinary, this is definitely the place to go. Highly recommended if you want to enjoy some of the best that Chicago has to offer. 🌆❤️

First time here 9/9/25. We were not impressed. The service was great!! The ambiance is great!! The yuzu sunset cocktail is a must try. The baked crab maki sushi roll was basic. The spicy tuna was basic. The miso cod was too sweet. The rock shrimp is like a bang bang shrimp, But good. The cucumber salad was good as well. The miso soup had too much of something but tolerable. Overall, we don't plan on coming back.

Class establishment. I sat at the bar. Had a nice martini and a bottle of nigori sake. I had the most delicious salmon signature dish and the rock shrimp with greens. Carrie (maybe Keri or Kerry) the bartender did me right and helped me order the best food. Had sushi with sashimi and finished with a nice cheesecake dessert. Love this spot and would def go back.

Nobu brunch was good. It’s a steep $75 dollars per person for a good selection of sushi and small selection of breakfast items. I’d say it’s worth it if you are a fan of AYCE sushi. Service was attentive, they answered questions about allergies, and even folded my napkin when I went to get more food.

The rooftop offers breathtaking views, but reservations are a must since it gets crowded. The food is excellent, but it’s a bit pricey, and the portions are smaller. But if you’re aware of that, you’ll be delighted by the elegant and friendly staff, as well as the lovely location. The Japanese salad was a flavor bomb, and the sushi/salmon selection was top-notch, with 22 pieces to choose from!

Miru was an absolute delight! The staff was incredibly friendly, and the ambiance was simply beautiful, making it an ideal spot for a night out. We loved every dish we ordered… small portion sizes tho… unique flavor and exceptional taste for sure… Everything we tried was fresh, flavorful, and cooked to the perfection. Just a side note on the drinks, I personally think drinks could have been much better and tastier. Rooftop is a bonus :) Overall, I definitely think Miru is a great spot for anyone seeking a memorable dining experience.

My party of 2 dined at Miru for breakfast on a weekday morning. The restaurant is beautiful with lovely views! Service was an A+, no complaints at all! The food was absolutely delicious! We had The American, Midwestern Omelette (add sausage) and split the Pancakes. The pancakes had an amazing whipped ricotta and fresh blueberries and bacon was thick and so good! The portions were huge so we weren’t able to eat everything…but we sure tried! I highly recommend dining here if you’re ever in the area or a guest in the hotel.

I had doubts about going to a sushi restaurant as a vegetarian, but I truly had a 5-star dining experience. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, the server was very hospitable and always prompt, and all of the food tasted absolutely amazing. In particular, the miso soup was some of the best I ever had. I had a Golden Hour mocktail, miso soup, grilled avocado, spinach ohitashi, wild mushroom sizzling rice, and the coconut mango dessert.

We had such a great experience at Miru! The staff were super friendly and the atmosphere was beautiful, perfect for a night out. We enjoyed everything we ordered, especially the sushi, wild mushroom sizzling rice, and broccolini. But the standout for us was the grilled avocado so unique and seriously delicious. Also loved the spicy bluefin tuna crispy rice. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and just really well done. Highly recommend!

Miru was truly an unquestionable dining experience. Rather you are dining alone, romantically, family affair or friends it’s an amazing time. The Auru was incredible. It was so peaceful a place to unwind and sightsee. Just breathtaking of the beautiful downtown and the river front views. Upon arrival, valet the car which was definitely an option. Greeted by the beautiful host Liz. She was nothing short from amazing. She then, Checked me in and seated me at the best table for the best view. She was a beautiful soul! I ordered the St Regis Prime burger, miso soup, shrimp tempura Maki and my Riesling White wine. They were delicious. For some reason I had a craving for a burger at an Japanese cuisine. (Crazy right)!! Miru definitely hit the spot! What I loved most about the menu was it wasn’t JUST raw entrees but also other options for the non raw eaters. That was in-fact an excellent quality for Miru. What do you know! Once again, another great lunch on another great afternoon. Check em out!

The experience was stunning. The service was good, but the food and the view were even better. A perfect place to break the routine and enjoy a Japanese culinary experience. The only tricky part is finding the hotel entrance if you’re not familiar with the area.

Incredible experience from beginning to end. The beverages were outstanding in presentation and flavor combinations. The food was equally satisfying. The dishes were satisfying to the eyes, nose, and palate. The ingredients were fresh and the food options were plentiful. Great variety of meat/ vegetarian options. The service was immaculate. The servers were attentive and dishes were removed and silverware was reset with each course. 10/10 recommend Sifr for a great food and beverage experience. The price is fair for the food quality and service.

Pleasantly surprised by this restaurant! The food was phenomenal; we ordered way too much, but it was worth it! We had the vegetarian mezze, a must in my opinion! You have so many different spreads to try, every single one was super tasty and full of flavor! We also got the halloumi, the way it is prepared is different from what I've had before so I loved it! For our mains, we had the chicken kebab and the prawns, which were absolutely delicious! We also got the potatoes as a side, not my favorites, but still tasty! We were so full that we couldn’t get dessert. 🤣 We also got some drinks; I had a very refreshing mocktail! The service was quick and super attentive, I would definitely go back!

The tasting menu for $60 was completely worth it as it offered a four-course meal that included dessert. Everything was flavorful and super delicious! The service was amazing and was very attentive. He made us feel very welcome and the atmosphere of the restaurant is divine. The candlelight on the tables make for a sweet romantic dinner or for relaxing night with friends. I would recommend reservations ahead of time since this place does get busy. If you're thinking about celebrating a special occasion here go ahead and book the reservation. You will not regret it!

We got the a la carte menu and I would say the mezze platter was really good, lamb shank was also tasty. We ordered these for 3 of us and it was plenty of food and we were very satisfied at the end. Spent about $60 pp after everything.

Overall a good experience. We were seated immediately after we got there, but we were only presented with the tasting menu option and didn't get the regular menu until we asked. As for the food, the mezze platter is a great way to taste a bunch of options that they offer. I also got the lamb shank, which was cooked perfectly and falling off the bone, although the pilaf was tasting a little bit bland. The toum, zhoug, and esme trio offers very unique flavors that I didn't try before and pairs well with almost anything. The pita bread was also very tasty and soft. One thing is that they did advertise wood fire middle eastern but for me I just couldn't taste much difference.

The atmosphere is really good in the restaurant. Our waiter Kal was amazing with every need we had. Food is incredible. Absolutely incredible. Everything we had was amazingly tasty.

Absolutely fantastic middle eastern place with a lot of great Indian influences -- the eggplant starter and pita bread with labneh was amazing. We also loved the lamb. Service and cocktails were great too!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Selva, and it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish! We kicked off our night with some amazing drinks, including their Agave Flight, the Intro to Mezcal, and the standout cocktail, THE G.O.A.T. Each sip was a delightful journey through unique flavors that perfectly complemented the vibrant atmosphere. The food was equally impressive. We indulged in the Chicken Tinga Tacos, which were bursting with flavor, and the Quesadilla, which was cheesy and satisfying. The Sun Cloud dish added a refreshing twist, while the Totopos and Tostones provided the perfect crunchy accompaniment. Every bite was a testament to the kitchen’s talent and creativity. The entertainment was the icing on the cake. We were captivated by some of the best burlesque dancers, who kept the energy high and our toes tapping throughout the evening. Their performances added a playful and engaging element to our night. To end our evening on a sweet note, we enjoyed the Warm Spiced Chocolate Cookie. It was the perfect finish—soft, rich, and indulgent, leaving us with a smile on our faces. Overall, Selva hit all the right notes with exceptional drinks, delicious food, and fantastic entertainment. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun night out!

The best bartender I've ever seen. He really loves his job and knows absolutely everything about it! Look for Michael the bartender with a gorgeous beard and just tell your preferences to taste and he will do what you will fall in love with (I had to drink 6 cocktails)

My wife and I had a lovely evening. The cocktails were unique and tasty. The tacos were excellent. After the meal we had one of the agave flights. That was a fun tasting experience, we are both tequila/mezcal fans and enjoyed it a lot. To wrap the whole experience we got the Selva Sunday, highly recommend!

Walking into Selva Lounge feels like stepping into another world one where the city noise fades and you’re immediately wrapped in a warm, magnetic energy. The vibe is effortlessly cool and incredibly inviting. Selva isn’t just a lounge; it’s a whole experience. From the atmosphere to the people, the music to the drinks everything comes together so naturally. If you're looking for a spot that’s equal parts chill and electric, where the night feels both laid-back and unforgettable, this is it.

Was there yesterday with my friend! We came to watch a movie at the rooftop cinema and afterwards wanted to get a nice dinner! The staff and service were fantastic! Atmosphere and vibe was very quiet and classy. Food and drinks came quick and were amazing. Recommend this restaurant and will for sure come back!

I came to Selva for the first time and really enjoyed it! Great views and service. The manager Chris was great and incredibly helpful. We can't wait to come back.

Saturday night in Chicago go to Selva to celebrate a friend's bday after we had dinner. We arrive our party is already here. When we get to the host stand we're told we have to wait because they are "at capacity" but I can clearly see the place is half empty so make it make sense. Then the guy says oh it's because we're short staffed my friend says we're not eating we just want to meet our friends, we're still told to wait. As we are texting our friends we are leaving 3 people walk out and leave so theoretically I would think we can go in now since 3 left and it's only 2 of us...Wrong. The guy says the capacity rules are for "everyones safety". I've been here several times and spent my hard earned money. I've never experienced such poor treatment. If it had been packed (which I've seen on other visits) I would understand but it's literally half empty in here wide open spaces at the bar, booths, and outside. As we're leaving the guy says you can come in now. I'll keep my couple dollars to myself.

First time here 9/9/25. It was a good experience. Every staff member is extremely professional and pleasant. Every bath is worth trying. The salt bath will make your body float my fav was the peppermint steam room. We received a 45 minute full body massage. My masseuse was okay, could have been a little bit more gentle but overall not bad. Thats the reason for the 4 stars. Our experience was for 2 hours and we definitely got our money worth. The ambiance is breath taking. After leaving here your body will feel relaxed and rejuvenated. You are not allowed to take your phones past the locker room for people's privacy. Im glad it's like that, so you can focus on your relaxation experience. I recommend to visit here.

This spa was an amazing experience. It’s a bit pricey, but perfect for a romantic evening or a relaxing escape. The space has a beautiful Greek/Roman bath feel, with not only multiple steam rooms infused with scents like eucalyptus and lavender, but also luxurious bathing spa baths to soak and unwind. There’s a cold plunge, relaxing massages available by appointment, and they even provide bathing suits if you need them. Lockers and toiletries are included, which makes it very convenient. Highly recommend for anyone looking to relax and enjoy a peaceful, indulgent experience.

My husband and I flew to Chicago specifically to visit AIRE Ancient Baths for our 13th wedding anniversary. I had previously visited in April with friends and absolutely loved the experience, which is why I was excited to return and pamper my husband with the Love Connection 90 service — a 90-minute couples massage and thermal bath experience. Unfortunately, this visit was very disappointing. After spending over 90 minutes in the thermal baths, I asked an attendant when our massages would begin because I didn’t want to miss our service. We were told we were “next” and would start in about five minutes. However, when we were finally brought back, we were placed in separate rooms instead of a couples room as booked. The massages started late and ended early — not our fault, as they were clearly running behind — and the quality of the massages themselves was subpar. When checking out, I asked the receptionist if it was normal to be separated for the Love Connection service. She apologized and confirmed it was not normal, saying she would leave my appointment open for a manager to contact me. The service took place on October 11, and after hearing nothing by October 20, I followed up via email. I received a quick response that my message was being passed to a manager, but now it’s October 24 and I still haven’t heard back. As a spa owner myself, I hesitate to leave negative reviews, but this was a truly disappointing experience — especially given the cost and how highly this spa is rated. The lack of communication and follow-through afterward only added to the frustration. Sadly, I don’t think we’d return or recommend it, which is unfortunate considering how wonderful my first visit was earlier this year.

My experience at Aire Ancient Baths Spa was amazing from start to finish — easy, serene, and completely relaxing. The atmosphere was so peaceful, and the “whisper only” rule really helped maintain a calm, soothing vibe throughout the space. My massage with Gene was incredible — perfect pressure and exactly what I needed. And the cold plunge inside the steam room? Freakin’ AWESOME! Highly recommend treating yourself here.
