- Fr. John TrigilioJune 16, 2012BEST place to eat in Chicago and BEST view of the city. Lamb is phenomenal. Excellent service and exquisite cuisine. Place to go for anniversary, birthday, engagement, announcement, celebration, etc.
- Cass GrimmJanuary 19, 2018My boyfriend brought me here as a surprise for my birthday. The prices are not low, but the dimly lit romantic ambiance and obviously the view make it worth it. My filet and the Syrah - SCRUMPTIOUS.
- Allison KaminskiOctober 15, 2015Most amazing view of the city!! Try to get a seat at the window facing south. If not, check out the view from the women's restroom
- Nancy PazSeptember 3, 2015The views are amazing. Nothing like sipping on a glass of wine and overseeing the Chicago skyline. I had their Surf and Turf, steak medium and it was so juicy and tender. The cost is worth it.
- Josh SchaefferNovember 29, 2018Everything here is amazing from the staff to the food. The view is absolutely stunning. If possible try and get a table right next to the window, changes everything.
- BiancaDecember 9, 2019Lovely for a Sunday brunch - go for the open buffet, it’s pretty decent. Best view from ladies’ at 96th.
- Selin AcikMay 12, 2015Best view of Lake Michigan while enjoying your meal. Main dishes taste average, appetizers better. Ladies' room has city skyline view as this :)

- Alex L.May 6, 2013Pretty sweet views. Entered via Best Buy side. Line was long but moved quickly. Drinks are expensive, no surprise there. I have never seen a helicopter fly so close to a building as I did there :0.
- Justin SullivanApril 26, 2015Eat slowly. The air is thin up here and it can be hard to catch your breath.

- StefanieOctober 17, 2014Super touristy and crowded (especially the lounge area). Cocktails, however, are seasonal and quite good.
- Mia GonzoMay 25, 2014No tacos here. The closest you get is nachos. Also, wine isn't the best. Go for a beer.
- Leonardo OtavianoMarch 31, 2013Food is just ok but view is amazing. Make sure you get a table next to the window. Line up for the elevator was huge, but they asked who had reservations (skip the line).
- Amanda OgdenDecember 29, 2014great meals ! the scallops were average but the shrimp and black fetachini were beyond fantastic

- Andrea NavarreteDecember 28, 2015Make a rsvp, window tables are assigned as they are clear. Great view of Chicago, a tourist must. Great for a romantic dinner or a special occasion. The restaurant closes quite early, try the bar too.
- Katrina KuhnMay 23, 2012The steak sandwich was delicious! Oh and the fries are definitely home made - so good!!
