    We got there and they said they were over booked and we were unable to get an actual table so I was like what's the point of booking a reservation then? Our host was great though his service was a 10/10 I forget his name but whoever the short black man is-your doing great king.

    Had a lovely time. Food was great, service was great. Music was a little loud, but when we asked to have it turned down they were able to turn it down a little.

    It was very unfortunate… I had long anticipated coming to this restaurant and it unfortunately was a huge disappointment. The service was horrible. Took more than 10 mins to get a beer and it wasn’t even crowded. After I placed my food order I was informed about 10 mins later that my item was 86’d. I asked if they could still make the dish and sub a different meat, since I was told they were out of the pork for the Pork Duo and the meal sounded great and could easily replace with Steak or Chicken. About 20 mins later the meals arrived and I was brought the steak entree. The steak entree was about $40 more than the pork and I wasn’t even notified. The server didn’t communicate well at all. It took forever anytime wanted a drink and then at the end of the meal, we were given a bill with an Auto-gratuity of 20%. This explains the lack of regard or concern, there’s no incentive for the server to go above and beyond when they know they are getting an automatic 20%. I never have a problem tipping, not sure why it would be auto-gratted. Overall, it was very upsetting, especially when there are so many great places to dine in Chicago. I won’t be able to recommend this place to anyone!

    We had dinner at the Trump Hotel in Washington, DC, a few years ago and were quite impressed. We thought that the much-touted Chicago property would be the same. We were very disappointed. The view was great, but the restaurant looked tired and worn. The food was okay, but the service was terrible, not up to traditional Trump standards. For example, water and drinks were served on a glass-top table without cocktail napkins; the result was a flood of water all over the table due to the high humidity that evening. When we asked for napkins, the server appeared put out to bring very thin napkins that were promptly soaked. The waiter was absent most of the time, having to serve multiple tables, and admitted to us that he was a bartender, not the waiter, and it was his first time. He knew nothing about the hotel when asked questions, and the food was late. I would go there for the view, order a drink, and have no food; the balcony has great views. I rarely post a negative review, but this time, however, with the Trump name, it should be held to a higher standard.

    My husband and I went to Terrace 16 on 3 different occasions. We went one day for breakfast, another for brunch and another for dinner. We had a fantastic experience at Terrace 16! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. The highlight on the evening we had dinner was definitely the service—our server, Alex, he was exceptional. He was attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable about the menu, and had great recommendations. Every dish was delicious, fresh, and beautifully presented especially the steak. You can tell the staff really cares about the quality of the food and the customer experience. We will definitely be coming back and recommending the Trump Hotel and Terrace 16 to friends and family!
