Cindy's Rooftop

This place was amazing! Great food and service! The views are beautiful! It rained just a little bit the sun was shining and it was the perfect day! Please if you visit Chicago put this on your list! See you there!

I cannot say enough great things about Cindy's. It truly made Chicago stand out to me on a cold December night with the fire pit overlooking the Bean. Most likely some of the best food I've ever had in Chicago to be frank.

Every single dish is carefully put together. There are both good portion sizes and variety on the menu. It's high-quality and upscale. Do not take a date here, because it will break the bank with how much you'll order!

So so so happy that we stopped into Cindy's! This was a surprise from my boyfriend during my first trip to Chicago and it was absolutely lovely. From the huge welcoming smile of the host to the INCREDIBLE city view from the balcony, Cindy's specializes in class and I'm so happy we visited and will absolutely be back! By the way they have a full mock-tail menu and I really enjoyed the cold brew, so plenty of options for those who don't drink!

Really cool concept/atmosphere, fair prices, large portions, and they were able to squeeze my partner and I in despite us lacking a reservation. Memorable experience of Chicago for us NE tourists.

I ended up feeling inspired to add a new item to my appetite as well as cooking by the carrot cake pancakes, which I've never had before! Still haven't found a great copycat recipe but oh well.

One the best rooftops in Chicago - better reserve in advance, we got lucky with a side table during restaurant week for lunch. Yes cocktails here are on the pricier side but the quality and taste is worth trying it. The lunch was amazing, buttered fish wasn’t oily and the chips were the best part. We like this place day and night, winter and summer- it never disappoints!

Beautifully decorated bar with nice views from the patio! When we visited in October, the Bean was fenced off so we didn’t get the greatest view of it but still fun regardless! It can get incredibly busy but lots of seats as well as standing room. Prices were a bit steeper than other places! It’s also located in an exquisite building.

Everything about this place is great! The location, the atmosphere, the layout, the view, and the team. I booked on a Tuesday night for my daughter's 16th birthday. They welcomed us very nicely and even offered us a very nice cake topped with a candle! Will definitely come again!

Such a cool experience, and an amazing view! I was here for a conference happy hour recently, and was just so impressed with everything. From the finger foods to the hand crafted drinks, perfect!

This place easily became one of my favorite places to dine in and visit in Chicago!!! I have not been to other rooftop bars here but I imagine you can’t get a better view than the Bean, skyline, and water! Be sure to make reservations or at the very least come right when they open like we did! You can wait at the bar and chill out on the lanai while you wait. I think I could just chill out here all day! The food was just as delicious as the view. And order the COOKIES 🍪—AMAZING! Perfectly crisp on the outside and soft and gooey in the middle. I’d come here just to eat cookies!!! The item I was most unimpressed with was that nonalcoholic Manchees (can’t really remember the name beverage I had That was a waste of money, unfortunately. The menu isn’t something unique or special in terms of selection, but what they do well, is that the quality of the ingredients they use and the presentation of the dish were top-notch and I can taste the difference! We ordered the Korean fried chicken sandwich, potato, bisque, salmon, carpaccio, cookies, apple tart, grain bowl, and Cobb salad. Those salted vinegar chips and pickles that came with the Korean fried chicken salad was quite special!! Lastly it was disappointing that the apple tart was served cold. I would have liked that warmed but it was still delicious.

We had a group of 12 and they served everything family style, including the entrees. It made everything a lot easier. Everyone had a great time and liked their meals. The views from the outside balcony are great

Food and service were spectacular! I had the orange blossom beer and it was very refreshing, Korean chicken sandwich was perfect for lunch. johann was so friendly and sweet, also makes great tequila shots.

Cindys is delightful and a must-see place for brunch with friends.
I ordered chicken and waffles which was OK. Thought the chicken erred on the drier side. And I wasn’t a fan of the breading style (I’m more of a buttermilk fry girlie, but that’s a personal preference so I don’t hold that against them). The waffle I wish was crispier but that’s a bit pick.

The service was top tier. Fabian was our waiter. I booked my reservation with Resy, and the Fabian was cognizant of my dietary restriction without me even asking- which is truly remarkable.

Ambiance is amazing. Definitely make the effort to step outside for the view! The space is open and airy, and there is TONS of natural light.

The bar is one of the most equipped bars I’ve ever seen, and they even made a Ramos Gin Fizz. Truly exceptional!

My friend ordered the frittata and I think that’s was the winning dish of our group of 3.

Great place to hang out and see Chicago views to the west. Good service and bar options. The building is amazing and the view was incredible! Also, had heaters on the deck for those who wanted to spend some extra time outside. Only had drinks, but breakfast items looked delicious.

Walk in on a Friday 6pm no issue- at least for drinks only.
Amazing view from the balcony, even in the night.
We stayed at the bar, had amazing cocktails mixed by nice bartenders!
Prices on the higher side, but all in all worth it!

If you visit Chicago, you have to get brunch at Cindy’s Rooftop! The atmosphere and food is amazing. They have an outdoor terrace with a terrific view of Chicago. I got the yogurt parfait and it was the best one I ever had, complete with fresh vanilla bean and orange zest!

Great music, atmosphere was fun and enjoyable, the view was awesome. Drinks are amazing!

Impeccable service, amazing food, and epic view. Best to make reservations ahead of time - they give about 2 hours for your time here but it’s definitely enough. Didn’t feel rushed at all. Server was on point- family style portions which is great to experience depth of flavor in all a couple of plates. To close the eyes, take a breath, and taste the flavors was simply amazing. Great selection of beers and cocktails were all good. Love every moment of this place 👊🏼

The food was unique and delicious (definitely get the gnocchi with salmon added - the salmon was seared to perfection) and some cookies for desert - straight out of the oven perfection.

Have a drink.

Enjoy the incredible atmosphere and superb staff - thank you Bri for an incredible experience!

Then, recommend having another drink on the balcony to really take in the experience.

Perfect location and experience!

We kinda had an adventure. Arrived shortly before dinner. Location was amazing. Vey fun to see. The balcony view is amazing. Our first waitress was a hot mess. She may have been ill, but the waiter who took over after our waitress disappeared made up for everything else. Very upscale and price point a bit high for the service we received. Great view of the skyline, Lake Michigan, the Bran, and Millennium Park.

A beautiful rooftop with unbelievable views! You usually need a reservation but if you stay at the Athletic Association they can get you in! Their breakfast pear galette and berry pancakes are a must have!

For nighttime, their specialty cocktails are worth trying while enjoying the view on the patio. A wonderful date spot!
