" Listen, you can't come to Chicago and not visit the legendary Cindy's--that would be a disgrace. Please trust me on this; it's a complete feast for the senses, not just for you to put in your mouth.
Elegant and romantic without being stuffy, and cozy without being subdued. There's something for the adventurers and something for the folks in the mood for comfort food. Every chef, bartender and server takes tangible pride in your experience; you can see it wherever you look. Attention to detail is over the top.
A gorgeous balcony with intimate seating and amazing views; a skylit and whimsical main dining area; a chic fireplace in the side dining room; a meticulously curated bar--everything in your line of sight here encourages you to linger and to savor.
The cocktails are inventive and refreshing--not just in an herbaceous way--they have taken me by surprise with every drink. It's hard to pick a favorite from what I've tried, but even when sampling my usual suspects (a French 75 for example, or a Gin Fizz), there was a moment of revelation with the first sip that you can rarely find when ordering an old favorite.
They're just artisans and alchemists, that's all there is to it. "

" Good food. Amazing Rooftop restaurant with Chicago downtown view.
Absolutely loved the buttermilk pancakes. The best pancakes I had in a restaurant.
Avocado toast and Scotch Farm Eggs were good too. Food portions were generous and sufficient enough for 4 people. "

" Good place to get a city view of Chicago. Very good location indeed and food is okay. Been coming here for years and can usually expect some crowd at any time of the day.
I’ve experienced both good and bad service from this place but have met a couple servers that were nice. One highlight is they really take time to sanitize the tables after each set of guests.
I recommend this place for the views and the drinks. "

" Great place to come to enjoy the views in winter or summer. Try the olives! Make a reservation if you plan on having a meal, but typically recommend going for a cocktail. Stop by downstairs in the athletic association to play some games or see the empty pool by the bathrooms - fun Chicago hang out! "

" I love the place, the vibe, the views, but I had to take one star off for the long wait at the elevators downstairs. We were told it would be 15-20 minute wait, and it ended up being close to 45 minutes. When we got up there, the place was actually pretty empty, not that crowded so we felt the wait wasn't justified. Other than that, great drinks! Highly recommend, just make reservations ahead. "
