Kim Hedstrom: Absolutely fabulous...we did a lunch cruise and the food was awesome, salmon with garlic cheese mashed potatoes and vegetable, prepared so elegantly and the desserts were wonderful. Staff was awesome!
AskMen: Pro tip: The deck offers great views of the downtown fireworks that go off all summer on Wednesday nights. Read more.
David Benjamin: Service pretty terrible. Paid for an open bar, took them an hour to get the first drink to the table. Others around us looked like they were having a good time, so might have just been our bad luck.
Stephen Lawrence: Get the fried calamari, frutti de mare and of course the tiramisu!!!!
Time Out Chicago: The toughest part of Mom's brunch here will be choosing between the smoked salmon omelette, the eggs Benedict and the fried eggs with spicy pesto.
troy vo: Great food but don't be on a timeline. Took over 2 hours for two of us to eat on a wednesday and we ended up skipping dessert cause we ran out of time.

InterContinental Chicago: Definitely the place to be at sunset. American/French cuisine and impeccable service, right on the lake. Has a small lounge area for those that want to sip a beverage while drinking in the view
Cite Elegant: Come on Wednesday or Saturday nights to watch the fireworks literally come at you from Navy Pier
Cite Elegant: Make reservations 5-6pm to witness the sunset and city alive during your dinner. The lights in the rest. are just dim enough to complement the city view.

Scott Sachnoff: Try Bodega around the corner at 355 N. Clark for churros, tacos & drinks to go (5 seats.)
Allison Letts: The margaritas are excellent. Overall, it’s delicious food but somewhat overpriced.
