    We had such a fun evening at Cindy's celebrating a birthday! Great table with incredible views and the service was top notch. Fun cocktails - diverse and delicious menu - everyone in the family loved their meal. And the terrace with views of Millennium Park and Lake Michigan can't be beat!

    The ambiance was delightful, offering a breathtaking view that set the perfect mood. Service was impressively swift, ensuring we never had to wait long to enjoy our meals. The prices were reasonable, making it even better. And the food? Absolutely scrumptious—it was a real treat for the taste buds!

    We had a wonderful table, and were seated right away. I didn't realize that there would be such a limited view, due to the standing cocktail crowd on the balcony - which fully blocked the view. The food was disappointing for the price. Some dishes we couldn't even power through. Drinks were creative and delicious.

    Gorgeous restaurant and unbeatable views! Food was delicious but would like more sharable app options. But would not stop me from going to Cindy's again :) Must see when visiting Chicago!

    It was good food. Very expensive for the quality of food though. They let anyone come into the bar and balcony so if you are going for dinner it is extremely loud.

    It’s was alright. Small menu but well executed. Very loud and tables very close together. Overall about 30% higher cost than the value we received.
