Came here for a girls night here and it was so cute, our drinks came out quickly but was really disappointed and gave only three stars because they ran out of the puffer glass and our waiter didn't even gives us a heads up but I saw the other table was able to get parched puffer drink which was weird because our waiter said the ran out! Service was good but didn't like how our waiter was a little rude. Ambiance inside is more like a date night, but it's also good for a girls or guys night as I saw the table next to us.

Visited this rooftop cocktail bar at the Viceroy Chicago recently. Unfortunately, it was pouring that evening, but we still enjoyed the beautiful nighttime city views through the rain. I was interested in the Southeast Asian inspired menu. I ordered the Red Panda and thought it was just okay for the price point. I was hoping for bolder flavors and a more unique approach. I also tried my friend's Pandan cocktail, which was similarly just alright. We shared the lobster dumplings as well, but they didn't have much depth of flavor. The coconut curry component sounded great in concept, though it didn't quite come through as expected. Overall, the ambience was definitely the highlight of the experience and makes for a nice night out, but the prices felt steep for what you get.

Outside

I recently came to Pandan for a group meetup. Initially we had seating outside, but it started to drizzle and they graciously moved us inside. We had a large group of 12 and they did well with our orders. While we had a great time, I would recommend Pandan in the future for smaller more intimate groups. The music was a bit loud and it was hard to hear the person sitting next to you without talking louder than usual. The food was great, but more like snacks and on the pricier end. I would recommend Pandan as a stop before or after dinner - but not for full out dinner.

SPICY TUNA ON CRISPY RICE

The vibes were great, nice rooftop bar with a view. The highlight of the night were the spicy tuna crispy rice!!

PORK LUMPIA LOBSTER DUMPLINGS
Tasha M.

First of all the Ube flan is the most delicious flan I've ever tasted. Amazing service and the location is so chill and refreshing. The outdoor seating is so sexy at night, it's perfect for a romantic date. The drinks are so fun, I can't wait to come back. The food is great to share a few small bites, I would order one of everything.

This place was so cute!! Loved the rooftop vibes with fire pits and amazing views of the city. They had lots of options for drinks and some great food choices as well. Our waiter was awesome and was attentive but gave us space. I'd love to come back to try different items.

I've been wanting to try this rooftop bar for AGES. A group of friends and I went on a slow Wednesday night. It was just starting to be chilly, and the waitress was great in offering blankets. Food menu was a bit sparse. We got a couple appetizers but definitely had to eat afterwards. This is a great spot for a drink and light bite!

SPICY TUNA ON CRISPY RICE and THAI FRIED CHICKEN
Aanchal B.

Really pretty place! My boyfriend and I were first inside because all the seats outside were taken but luckily a spot opened up. We had thai fried chicken, tuna on crispies, and flan - all very good and filling! The blowfish looking drink was cute and perfect for a summer day. It's located inside the Viceroy Hotel (same location as Somerset in the long). Great service as well with good portion sizes.

NA Margarita
Kevin J.

Very cute cocktail lounge on the 18th floor of the Viceroy hotel. We sat at the bar with the most comfortable bar stools I've ever sat in. The leather was soft like butter and made the whole experience all the more fun and relaxing. The bartender/mixologist was clearly very experienced and built custom cocktails based off the groups preferences. I had the NA Margarita from the menu and it was the best one I've ever had.

My friend and I stopped by here for drinks and to try some of their apps. Our drinks were good and the food was just ok. The bao buns were a bit dry and could've used a sauce or aioli to make it taste much yummier. It's a cute spot to grab a drink then continue the night elsewhere IMO! the puffer fish cup is super cute

CRISPY PORK BELLY STEAMED BUNS
Keycee D.

We visited Pandan in Chicago back in October after my cousin saw it on Instagram and suggested it for a rooftop experience. Located on the 18th floor of a hotel, the view and vibe were fantastic for a night out. (Forgot the name of hotel) Our group of five had a great time! The food and drinks were excellent, with a Filipino-infused twist that made everything feel unique. The crispy pork belly steam buns were a standout--perfectly cooked, flavorful, and absolutely worth ordering. I also tried the Pandan cocktail, which was a delicious blend of flavors that really hit the spot. Service was good and fast, which we appreciated. Overall experience was great, I'd come back if I ever visit Chicago.

PARCHED PUFFER
Pa Zao L.

I came with a friend and we ordered a parched puffer cocktail, pandan cocktail, lumpia, spicy tuna crispy rice, and the crispy pork belly steamed rolls. Their menu is on the pricier side and it's only for little bites. I ordered food during my first time and it was good. Although I most likely won't order food again in the future because of the small portion sizes. We were seated indoors - will have to try to get seated outside on a nice day next time.

Lobster dumplings and beef tataki
Andrew P.

Cute rooftop bar in the middle of the Gold Coast/Viagra Triangle (lol). They sat the two of us outside in a lounge-type booth under the heater in early November which wasn't bad since we were already dressed warm. There were other seats with fire heaters though which was nice. There's a rooftop pool too which is perfect for the summer. We got several cocktails and a few of the food offerings they have. We really liked the lobster dumplings. The beef tataki was delicious as well. Our cocktails were all generally good. We liked them! Our server Brianna was nice however I wouldn't say necessarily the most talkative or went out of her way to make/continue conversation. I'd come back based off of our experience for sure.

Step off the streets of Chicago into a beautifully dimly lit fondue experience is so cozy inside…read morewith the music of a live Spanish guitar that really create a private magical experience. All the premier dinners come with salad, cheese, fondue, and the chocolate fondue - You are just choosing what protein you would like. The Prince Geja combination has a little bit of everything. However, we most liked the seafood which includes lobster and the scallops were to die for! Also the beef also cooks well. Favorite dipping sauce included the pimento mayo, chimichurri, and garlic butter. The cheese fondue is quite rich and the bread is quite filling so maybe get as much cheese as you can on each piece of bread. The chocolate fondue, I think is actually the best course as the Belgium chocolate melts so well and has a decadent but not overly sweet flavor. It pairs well with all that is provided for dipping, which includes poundcake, rice Krispies, strawberries. They also have some liquor that they light on fire at first so you can roast the marshmallows. It is such a well thought out experience. Service flows very well from two waiters who take your order set up your fondue pots for each course, but be prepared to spend at least 2 hours on this experience. Check out the Groupon but also I read a review that they just tack on the extra $50 so it's not really too much of a savings. Not sure if this is true.

Had a fantastic evening at this classic spot!…read more Food was super tasty and fresh! The seafood was probably my favorite! The full dinner with chocolate and cheese was perfect! Also appreciated that they were accommodating for the vegetarian in our party. Everything except the cheese course can be made vegan friendly as well. The service was top notch! Appreciated that they called me ahead of time to confirm our reservation and ask about food allergies. All the staff was incredibly helpful and attentive. They were quick to refill items and answer any questions we had. The location is classic fondue restaurant, cozy and romantic. However, also perfect for catching up with a friend. I love the history in this place and really enjoyed the mood lighting. Pricing was fantastic for the quality of service, food, and drinks! Look forward to many happy returns!

Back Again - Gemini Pt 2, but this time for brunch!…read more I enjoyed my first dinner experience here so much last week that we had to come right back to try their weekend brunch. From the start, the hostesses were inviting and lovely. The restaurant is very pretty, warmly blending a modern style with a touch of classic French bistro elegance. I'm mostly so impressed with how versatile the restaurant actually can be, shifting seamlessly from an elegant, upscale dinner setting with its beautiful U-shaped marble bar to a bright, whimsical, and enchantingly airy brunch setting. The fully opened bifold windows are adjacent to the pergola-topped patio, letting a glorious, cascading breeze drift through the space to create a wonderful indoor-outdoor flow and a lively weekend energy. Once again, we thoroughly enjoyed everything we ordered: Super Green Vegetable Salad: The kale, broccoli, avocado, asparagus, and peas were crisp and fresh. We loved this so much during our first dinner visit last week that we had to order it again for brunch! Spectacular! Nova Lox Platter: The wild salmon topped with diced red onion, capers, and hard-boiled egg crumble, served with an everything bagel and a side of chive cream cheese, was excellent. French Onion Frittata: The rich gruyère and caramelized onions were wonderful. If you're a French onion soup lover like me, this is a can't-miss!! Definitely will be reordered and often. Fantastic! Daily Omelette: Ordered from the special menu, featuring black truffle salsa, mascarpone, and Calabrian chile honey. It was absolutely phenomenal, perfectly cooked, and the flavor combination was incredible. Our server, Sarah, was excellent and made the experience even better - we even share the same name! The management team was also incredibly warm and attentive, stopping by our table to welcome us back. Returning twice in one week says it all. This restaurant has made it into my regular rotation and is hands down one of my new favorites!

Not too shabby. I…read morelike this place for an impromptu early dinner. I've been twice and always sit outside in the patio area. The restaurant itself is pretty as is the outdoor dining area if aesthetics are important to you. Service is also great. Food wise...good portions overall. However, all I want is a little bit more: a little more butter for the delicious bread, a little more time in the oven for the Brussel sprouts to soften them up, and a little more cream to accompany the carrots. Also, a few more croutons in the Caesar salad! All that being said, the steak was well seasoned and who can ever object to a tasty side of fries? Dining here, you're getting a healthier experience as opposed to heavy seasoning, butter, sauce, etc, but it's good overall.

That is to say: I am not throwing words of praise like "one of a kind" and "phenomenal" around lightly. Both are different and still amazing. Sparrow has a vibe straight out of the 1920s. The decor, signage, use of color, and absence of screens or TV's all contribute to the theme. The music is also appropriate and plays at the perfect volume to be pleasant without forcing one to raise their voice. I tried the Green Daisy and a House Old Fashioned. The Green Daisy was boozy and had some herbaceous notes. A little tartness and a little sweetness helped balance the drink out and make for a phenomenal sipper. I loved the creativity with this one! The House Old Fashioned was also well done, assembled with quality ingredients in balance with one another. Nothing wrong with a well-executed classic. The prices are more or less reasonable considering the location and overall market, with bevies costing around $16. The bar staff is excellent! Very friendly and welcoming! Final verdict: A spot where I can say come for the drinks and stay for the vibe. It's the kind of place where walking in you are transported a century into the past. Everything about the experience, including the atmosphere, drinks, service, and prices, is calling me to return and bring some people with me.
