Visited here in October - made reservations for 215 on a Saturday. What a beautiful
Restaurant with amazing views!! During this time they serve brunch and we were a bit disappointed in the limited menu - we were hoping to share some appetizers as it was after lunch but before dinner. Great drink selection - Bloody Mary and Kick in the Daisy Margarita (salt needs to go on the Rim, not in the drink) were great!! Golden Boar -- looked pretty but wasn't all that good. We split the BLAT and the prime burger which were utterly fabulous. The rooftop views were gorgeous!! We already booked a reservation to come back in a few weeks! The only downfall was the the waitress, she was very new and a little less attentive than we were hoping. The bus man was good and very friendly!

Lots of hipster larvae hanging out on Friday and Saturday night....
Food quality was excellent and the portions were large but the menu is somewhat limited and the chef declined our request to offer a "chefs choice" selection of items.
Not a big deal.
Overall-Seriously noisy and overpriced but with a great view and decent food

The view from the balcony at Cindy's is spectacular !Atop the Chicago athletic association is Cindy's restaurant. This is platter sharing style so go with some friends have a cocktail head out on the balcony to see stunning views of the lake , millennium park and the great buildings around as far as the eye can see. The have a great cocktail menu so take your pick. They are a little pricey but delicious! We got the fish fry ( so fresh ) and the Côte du boeuf so tender there is plenty for 3-4 pepper depending on your appetite. It can get noisy as the night wears on but you should check it out !

Was out for business and stopped here for drinks before dinner elsewhere. Cindy's is on the 13th floor of the Chicago Athletic Association hotel. Interior is well done, and the patio (along with the views) is spectacular. The place was packed so it took a little manuevering to get to the bar, but didn't have to wait long to order. Drinks are pricey, so beware. Once we all had our drinks, went to the patio where it was a little quiter and enjoyed the views and conversation. Great place, and would love to bring the wife here sometime.

I met a few colleagues and clients at Cindy's. The interior is very well done, cool place if you want to impress a few people. I sat at the bar before my party arrived, the bar has a pretty good number of seats, there are a few sofas and low tables spread out. The deck is the highlight, there are a number of seats and sofas outside and a fire pit. The view is spectacular. We didn't eat here, only had drinks but I would go back, might be a cool place for a corporate event.
