    A huge disappointment. 3 salads for lunch with 3 sodas and a bill for over $200.00. On top of that the salad was very small and lacking flavor. I would be hard pressed to return. Do yourself and go somewhere else

    Great view but completely overpriced for the lack of service and getting rushed in and out. Charged $20 for water I was never asked about. Two entrees, one cocktail and a $20 bottle of water and the bill was only a hair under $200. Ridiculous. Also charged a 20% tip for lacking service. Will never return.

    I’ve dined at your restaurant several times in the past and have always had a great experience. However, our most recent visit, celebrating my boyfriend’s little sister’s birthday was honestly one of the worst dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. From the start, we felt ignored. Our appetizers arrived before we were even given silverware or plates. I was served soup without a spoon. Thankfully, the server assistants stepped in to help, but our main server seemed more focused on another table nearby and was largely inattentive to our needs. This visit was deeply disappointing, especially given how much I’ve enjoyed previous meals here. At this point, I’m not sure I would return. Frankly, I’ve received better service at my local neighborhood restaurant.

    Went for brunch on a late Sunday morning, stayed for the terrace and views! 😍🏙️ We were definitely glad we had a reservation. The bar had maybe one seat open when we came in, and every table was consistently full. The prices were a little high ($6 to add a side of less than half an avocado), but you’re truly paying for the spectacular ambiance. It was a fancy place, but they did let us dine wearing athleisure attire. I’d bet the dinner/evening vibes here are fantastic.

    Price-performance ratio (small portions / high price) is poor for a European, adding 20% as a service fee to the bill as standard is also sporty

    Overall great experience - would like to try lunch or dinner as brunch was good but not exceptional (I did order oatmeal though ;)). I do wish the lattes were prettier with foam designs. However, we had amazing service and the ambiance was 1000000/10!

    My wife and I had a wonderful dining experience at Terrace 16. The food was delicious. We especially liked the Red Dragon Roll. The cocktails were very creative and the wine list had tremendous variety. Our server Alex was spot on. And to finish it off we had s'mores for dessert. They were toasted tableside over a small campfire on a cart. The view is like no other in the city of Chicago. What a great place!

    We celebrated our wedding anniversary at Terrace 16 and thoroughly enjoyed our night out. Our waiter, Alex, was second-to-none. He never forgot us and checked in often but he did not hover. He's very personable and even with the other tables we marveled at his interactions. He explained to us how the food was prepared and when we informed him my wife was allergic to a seasoning he assured us the meal (King Tuna) she ordered did not only contain that particular ingredient while cooked. She then asked that the skin be removed prior to cooking. Her meal came out exactly as she ordered. After our leisurely meal and wine we enjoyed the Chicago skyline. Alex offered to take our picture, which we accepted. He then took us to another part of the restaurant which offered a better view of the skyline. We then met the manager and he too was very gracious and congratulatory of our anniversary. He had a delicious piece of anniversary cake delivered to our table. It was a superb experience but I must say the crowd at the bar was very boisterous. With the high ceilings we at times had to talk loudly to one another. Luckily they left 30 minutes after we arrived.

    The food was outstanding and the server was very personable and friendly. I did not like the 2 host female staff members that checked us in. I asked for a table and she refused to sit us and told us there was no room. I went on open table and made a reservation with no issue for 5 minutes later. I found that behavior to be disrespectful.
