    Your right next to Trump tower.

    My wife ordered the Pineapple Paloma and the Wagyu Beef Ribs. The Paloma was $20, but it tasted weak. No one asked if we wanted water, and since I noticed a water pitcher at the bar, I assumed it was self-service. It wasn't until about 10 minutes after my wife received her drink that we were finally brought glasses of ice water. The Wagyu beef ribs were tender, and my wife liked that the sauce wasn't overly sweet. They were advertised as spicy, but they didn't have much of a kick. The onion rings that came with the meal were extremely hard. When I cut into one my wife gave me, half of it shot right off the plate. I ordered the Ribeye Steak Frites. It was interesting, I never had steak and fries slathered in gravy before. The dish had good flavor, but it just wasn't my personal preference. I did appreciate that they provided chopsticks. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall, the food was average, but the view was wonderful.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service, however, felt lacking. I can't say for sure, but I couldn't help wondering if we didn't receive the best service because we didn't "look the part." We were driving home from Electric Forest, so I was wearing a Demon Slayer Hawaiian shirt, and my wife was dressed comfortably in a T-shirt and slacks. She wanted to order another drink, but our waitress didn't return until after we had finished eating. By then, we were ready to leave. Because of the slow and inattentive service, we ended up leaving a 10% tip.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Perfect day - hard to come by in spring Chicago but we got lucky. Sun came out as soon as we sat down for lunch and some light wind made it hard to navigate some food items but really cool place to try with great views.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]People make me nervous near the edge as well as loud groups. Yes were outside but we dont need the entire skyline of Chicago to hear you as well. Maybe I am just getting old.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our lunch was just enough - the bacon dip was great but the chips could be better. I take it they were baked but they just fell apart. I might rather have potato skins or even just sliced baguette. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place would be cool to come back to at night on a summer night or even a special party for a small group of girlfriends or something.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our server got lost for a second but the secondary staff was very attentive in clearing dishes.

    Services are great friendly and super nice to be honest the drinks are great super good just right. Food ehhh it's mixed emotions to be honest the burger was good but way too much sauce and onions over kill bacon was super good. Steak fries ehhh that sauce the put on the fries not a fan of it it was just a bit weird to be honest and too much of it also kills the taste of the fries. The short ribs are not that good and not enough meat on them but more fat on them. The shrimp cocktail was good though not bad. Price for the taste way too much to be honest needs to be a bit cheaper for the taste but come and try it for your self like I always tell everyone but [[HIGHLIGHT]]great views for sure.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Made a reservation here for lunch. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Located on top of the LondonHouse - this was situated outside on the terrace.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Really cool views and we had a nice day of weather.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There was some delays in service despite a ton of staff running around. We started with the jalapeno popper dip which was good and came with tortilla chips. I just scooped the dip with a fork - had some nice kick to it and the flavor was good. For my meal I went with the burger - cooked medium. It came with a sauce on top of it and two large strips of bacon. This was really good, and I substituted the fries for a side Caesar salad. Overall really good - the old fashioned I started with was standard as well.

    My girl friends and I came from San Diego to Chicago to meet our favorite author, one of the must to-dos for our trip was to check out a Rooftop Bar. I found LH online and booked us a reservation, after a quick dinner and a walk at Navy Pier, we walked over to LH Rooftop. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The hotel itself is stunning it's at a prime location right next to the water so we were all really excited to go.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We took the elevator which is directly in front of the host stand, I will say this, the hostess was so rude and really didn't make us feel welcomed, she told us that in order for us to sit at the bar we'd need to fill a food quota? Not told when I made a reservation but we had walked a good distance so of course we stayed. Our server was nice and accommodating, we were sat a cute low top. We ordered truffle fries and sticky toffee pudding a round of cocktails. I ordered the Smoke Show, because they were out of Bad Bunny. The drinks are so good, super flavorful and had the right amount of booze to keep us warm. Okay now the food, we were full from dinner so our light bites were perfect. The crips were crisp and salty and had the right amount of truffle that black garlic aioli is insane and the sticky toffee pudding reminded me of London. [[HIGHLIGHT]]After our meal we went to the rooftop and took a ton of photos, because we came in the beginning of March there weren't any bartenders upstairs but it was just as fun and beautiful.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Minus our earlier interaction we had a great time and would definitely recommend LH Rooftop to others.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]The views of the city are amazing[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] and the drinks were tasty! The bad bunny is a great drink it's not too sweet and not too bitter. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The area is however rather small and fills up pretty quickly even during the weekday when I went.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] If you have reservations for the rooftop that would be a better not option but I wouldn't suggest popping in just to go to the bar.

    I couldn't get a reservation for lunch up there. Everything was booked a week in advance. So you must book way in advance for the summer months. You can still go up to the 21st floor to see this spectacular view!

    One star for the service. When I went to the rooftop bar I ordered a drink that tasted pretty good. However, after I ordered my drink and looked at the view, I went back to the bar to ask for a few napkins because my drink spilled all over me... there were about four bartenders at the bar and not one of them stopped, turned their head or payed any attention to my existence RIGHT in front of them. It took about two or three minutes trying to get their help until someone came up to me and brought me napkins. Mind you, there was no other customer at the bar at the time either. Just me. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The additional star is for the view.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I would recommend this place to everyone I know because it's so nice however I have not been able to get past the poor manners and treatment that I received. I'm writing this review now after some time has passed simply because the service was so outrageous and unprofessional.

    You go to the LH Rooftop for the views and not much else. The hostesses are incredibly rude and not once was it communicated to us that you needed to order food. We had grabbed food inside while waiting for our table not knowing. The truffle fries were good. The cocktails were okay. You pay for the views and sacrifice the rest.

    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.

    I found about the rooftop from TikTok. I pre booked my reservation a few weeks out before my trip. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The rooftop was nicely decorated with flowers. It was very pretty.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I went after 4pm & it was incredibly warm, & the sun was beaming straight at my face. I was a sweaty mess, and had to block the sun with their menu. I wish they would have had umbrellas or some shaded seating options.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My server Ruben was very polite & friendly. He was very helpful with his suggestions. I ordered the purple rain cocktail. It was light & refreshing. Not too sweet or strong. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I had to grab one drink and leave because it was way too hot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Please note, for table reservations, you have to order food which I wasn't aware of. [[HIGHLIGHT]]If I go back, I'll make sure to have an appetite & go in the evening to experience a better vibe with twilight views.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Also, I wanted to note, the view would've been a bit better if it were facing away from a certain hotel, haha.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    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.

    Erica M.

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

    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.

We bought the tickets that included the Tilt, the Observation Deck, and the CloudBar. That was the way to have the complete experience on the 94th Floor of the John Hancock Building. The views are spectacular!! Look up and there are mirrors on the ceiling! Lots of cool photo ops! We enjoyed it here. There needs to be more organized seating all around the 360 because the place is packed. There are some tables closest to the Bar but not around the entire deck. You have to hold your drink the whole time and get bumped into. There is no obvious line at the bar and you accidentally go in front of other people who thought they were in line and they get upset. There are also mini bleachers where people were spilling their drinks because there was no place to put their drinks. The floor was sticky and wet. We got alcohol spilled on us from those climbing down the bleachers. Not a pleasant experience. The drinks were ok. My Magnificent Margarita was too sweet for my taste and it was a generous pour. My daughter had the Crossbeam and was able to select what she preferred. I should have done that one. The bartender was friendly and nice despite how busy he was. There are restrooms for men and women but the women's is not very big or wide. The line is mostly outside the restroom. It was tight in there. Would we go again? Yes.

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.

I had a few bites of the appetizers including the scallops, fried paneer, and 2 kinds of empanadas (corn and chicken). We also got lumpia and a mixed bread platter for the table. Though I didn't have any of the latter, they were a hit at our table. I got the burger as my entree, and it was such a redemption from a crappy burger I got elsewhere earlier in my trip. The double smashed patties were juicy and flavorful. I devoured the burger and loved the thin cut fries. All-in-all, we had a lovely dinner at Ila's for my sister's bachelorette party.
