    Beautiful dinner with excellent service. We had low expectations and were shockingly surprised by how good the food was and how lovely the view. This is an easy and wonderful place to grab a meal. Make sure to order dessert!

    First time here and it was a wonderful experience. Service was excellent, Joanna was tool care of us and delivered a memorable visit. We had Brunch here, Chicken and Waffles was delicious. Perfectly seasoned and moist. The Creole Shrimp and Grits was creamy . The drinks, Spicy Hibiscus Margarita is a must have! They not shy about tequila. The atmosphere is so chill and relax. The draw is the view! You dont get the view from the dining room, however you have go to the 22nd floors and enjoy the view of the city. The rooftop is open with dining and bars during the season. Highly recommended if you are visiting Chicago.

    What a phenomenal experience! This will be my new go-to rooftop bar for after work drinks in Chicago. The service was amazing... attentive, bright, engaging staff who recommended great drinks and took good care of us. The truffle fries are literally the best I've ever had. The views are stunning and they have access to a cupola for an even higher view. Loved the grilled and chilled shrimp- excellent flavor! We will be back!

    Cozy ambience, so Christmassy! Service was great. We tried the General Tsos Bao Buns, they were good but not extraordinary. The classic burger was excellent, bacon was divine, thick, crispy. Rooftop was fun! Great view and worth the stop.

    Came to Chicago on vacation during the end of March and I had to see the city from a rooftop bar. The view is incredible from up there. The bar on the rooftop was closed due to season, but you can grab a drink downstairs and head upstairs to enjoy the view. The bar is beautiful. I got the Smoke Show, but it wasn't anything grand. I didn't drink anything else so I'm not sure if the drinks aren't very strong.

    Rooftop area is very nice! We then sat inside for some appetizers. The server struggled at taking my drink order, she came back twice to inform me they no longer had the beer I wanted and I updated my order and she brought a different beer than I ordered. After three times I just took the beer. The rest of the staff was very attentive with water and clearing plates and glasses. The crab Rangoon was alright. The chicken wings smelt spicy but were not too hot and sauce was very good. The tater tots were delicious!

    This place was awesome! We got seated rooftop right away. Awesome view of the city - the rooftop was all lit up and had fun music vibing. The waitress was kind and attentive, it was busy the night we went. The food was pretty average but not bad. We got a pear salad with cheezit croutons and had high hopes, especially with the croutons! But ultimately was a disappointment. The chicken skewer with tiziki sauce was the best thing we were served. Drinks were decent but very expensive, on brand for Chicago... idk how you all afford living in that city Overall, would be back. Atmosphere and drinks were enough to bring us back.

    Rooftop vibes with amazing views. Went on a weekday evening for a few drinks - it's very busy but tables open up quickly as there's a 1 hour limit unless you are continuously ordering. Enjoyed an old fashioned - a little pricey, but at the same time the view and vibe was legit. The appetizers are really pricey for what it was though. Would come back for drinks during the late afternoon / early evening!

    Started off with the intention of hanging out on the rooftop but that heat was treacherous so we went right to the bar one floor below. There were seats at the bar so we grabbed two and I ordered a mocktail. The mocktail was good but a tad bit too sweet. I wish it was made from scratch but I could tell it was all syrup. The menu is decent but I didn't find much I could eat from the bar menu. My friends did get the lamb chops and raved about it. I've been to LH once on a previous trip and enjoyed that experience. This particular experience was just as good because the ambiance was welcoming and the staff were great. Great hangout spot right in the heart of the city.

    You come for the view, drinks, and the very personable bartenders! If you want a place to sit on the rooftop to enjoy the views definitely make a reservation otherwise you can only stand. One floor down is a larger inside bar area (no views) with ample seating area. I will definitely come back for drinks before or after dinner. LADIES...do wear comfy shoes cuz you will have to walk stairs.

    Udon noodle stir fried

    Very fun place for nighttime hang out for drinks and for the view especially. Rainbow of colored lights that paint the sky around it with an uplifting energy. Right across from the trump tower and towering over the Chicago River and lake. Can see this place as a fun hang out for sure. Wasn't very hungry but did order the udon noodles which was served in a cute Asian inspired take out box. The udon was stir fried in a buttery sauce with kimchee flavor and few small kimchee pieces giving it a crunchy bite. Was ok but the view was more magnificent. Would like to try their brunch menu to see the river during the day time as well. Saw some photos of some items I would like to try.

    This place is such vibes. Best not so kept secret rooftop restaurant in Chicago with great views of the city! My bff and I went for brunch on a beautiful sunny day. The mile high cinnamon rolls look fantastic but are always sold out. Order fast! However, we got the lollipop waffles. Cute waffle sticks with cream and butter to eat with your choice of cereal. So good. I love the decor from beginning to end. The fruit help cut the sweetness. Can't wait to come here and try the regular menu.

    We were bopping around Chicago and had to stop by Londonhouse since so many people recommended it. We had been to Cindy's right before and I do think I prefer it but LH was still good! It was quite crowded but we were lucky enough to get a table which helped prevent us from being slightly over stimulated by the crowd. We got some drinks which were good but tbh what we enjoyed more were the light apps. Their Mumbai fries were delicious. Such a fun idea and well executed. Great views and I think its worth coming up here but be prepared for the crowd!

    Puedo salir a la terraza en la noche?

    Si. es hermoso por la noche

    Do I need reservations or is walk in fine?

    Depends on day and time. I would make a reservation for sure

    Do the play music on a Friday night?

    Si! Todos los días

    How do I make a reservation for the Rooftop (for brunch)? The reservations link only shows an option for indoor reservations

    You can make the reservation on Tock. You should get an option for indoor or outdoor depending on the dates available. I had the option when I booked, however, outdoors was booked for weeks.

We were so happy with everything! Our server was wonderful! The entire staff was so friendly and on top of their game! We never waited for anything. They were immediately refilling our waters, offering more bread, removing dirty plates, replacing silverware, and offering the next course. It was perfect! The views!!! I think there's not a table in NoMi that doesn't have an amazing view. The main, large window faces the lake (East). Arriving just at 7, you get the full affect of the city, and lake, and then the sunset and lights of the buildings. It was absolutely magical. I couldn't get enough of it. The inside of the restaurant is beautiful and clean, but honestly it could have been a pit and I wouldn't have noticed. You'll be focused on the views for the entire evening. The food!!! Everything is very fresh. It's all well-prepared. Everything was delicious. There's a good variety of dishes to choose from. Plenty of healthy, low-carb options. We each ordered our own appetizers. I had the crispy Maitake mushrooms and my husband had the mussels. We both loved our food and left nothing on our plates. Excellent choices, that we highly recommend. As our main course we shared the sushi platter. The seafood was fresh and the sushi didn't have too much rice. It was the perfect amount of food with our appetizers. They have an extensive wine and drink menu. For drinks I had a glass of the Sauvignon blanc and my husband had a red blend. For dessert we weren't really hungry enough to eat anything else but my husband wanted a pallet cleanser. They have a few sorbets. My husband settled on the cherry cola sorbet. They brought it out with a little chocolate that said "Happy Anniversary" in French. They did not add it to our bill. Very sweet of them. It was probably one of the best anniversaries we've ever had. The bill was about $230 before tip. We highly recommend coming here for any special occasion.

That said, this place just completely disappointed. The food was just not good. I had the burger sliders and for $9 a piece you expect them to be something special. They were not. Overcooked with a little sauce and two pickles slapped on the bun with a tiny little dab of fake cheese - it was like a bad and way more expensive version of McDonald's. The onion rings were the frozen crumbly kind not the fresh beer battered kind and so that's a big "no!" for me. The dipping sauce was okay. Service was friendly and I think the guy was new but it wasn't good enough for a place like that at the top of the building. There were two servers so I'm guessing one was training maybe. They didn't make it to my table to check to see if everything was okay while I was eating and it even took them a while to notice that I was done eating. It's was slow so I don't think they were stressing with too many tables. That kind of place should knock your socks off - but it was on the low end of mediocre. I wouldn't go there again for food. Maybe it's a decent place to go to the bar but since I don't drink I can't help much on that end.

The lounge features not only an eye-popping crystal chandelier but also a tea service in the afternoon and luxe bites and crafted cocktails. I convened with my drinking companion during a break in his conference presentations. Since his conference hotel did not have a bar or restaurant on premises, I decided nipping into the nearby Four Seasons would be a good call. The bar area was convivial and welcoming even to non-hotel guests. I was feeling festive so ordered a glass of Prosecco. My drinking companion ordered a rye-based cocktail. The ice in the craft cocktail was an eye-catching sphere. I was transfixed as this was my first time seeing this outside of an LG refrigerator commercial.

For parking you definitely should use Spothero or ParkWhiz, as it's in a very busy/lively part of River North. We loved meeting the owner who was chatting with and checking on guests in the dining room. The menu was really creative and sounded amazing, totally up my alley, so was super excited to try Ila's out for the first time. Unfortunately, and it pains me to say this, but the food itself was a miss for me, and the prices felt steep for the portions. We ordered the empanada duo, grilled scallops, birria lamb pierogis, and sweet corn agnolotti, then the Japanese cheesecake and drip coffee. The positives were that everything tasted fresh, and the flavors of the dishes were good ~ especially the empanadas, scallops, and agnolotti. The main issue was the texture of some of the foods. Other than the empanada (which had a great texture and flavor), the agnolotti and pierogi dough were not right ~ thick, rubbery, and dry, which was exacerbated by not having enough consommé for the pierogis. And the coffee - it honestly tasted like Folgers (though I'll give them the benefit of the doubt) - which took me aback as it was a $7 drip coffee. I'm not discounting Ila's and I truly wish them success. But I think there's some work to be done in terms of execution.
