Be careful what you “ask” for.

We were visiting Chicago for the first time.
Our English isn’t great but pretty understandable.

We tasted an Argentinian wine of $68 dollars and we asked the waiter to serve a bottle
He went to pickup the “bottle” and took quite long time to come back .

After opening the bottle and leaving on our table I notice that wasn’t the same wine. In fact I looked at the menu and that wine cost $160.

I complained and they got mad and took the bottle and the glasses back to the kitchen.

(Wonder if they will pour the wine in the glass inside the bottle again and trick another foreigner)

Wonderful views from a beautiful historic building - Cindy’s rooftop terrace is really awesome- get phenomenal views of Lake Michigan, the wheel, the Bean and Millenium
Park
Wonderful food and coffee
Great service
Second visit even if visiting from UK
Loved it as much as first time - book early as they are very busy

Cindy’s is a great spot for drinks and/or dinner if you are visiting Chicago for a short break.

Located on the top floor of the Chicago Athletic Club on S Michigan Avenue, it has a stunning view of Millennium Park and the Cloud Gate sculpture, and that whole part of downtown Chicago in general.

We visited for dinner in early October, having a drink outside on the balcony beforehand and taking in the view, with a fire pit there to keep us warm.

Inside the building is cosy with a great atmosphere. Staff and food were both excellent, with a nice menu.

Highly recommended if you want a venue where the location adds something to the experience. I think you can only reserve a table 15 days before your visit, so be mindful of that, although it is definitely worth it.

While I would have liked to try the Top Chef restaurant's food, we came on a Saturday afternoon for dirnks. It is standing room only. Great views of Millenium Park and the lake. As expected, not cheap. Cocktails $18+ and beers $8+

Awesome spot for drinks. Great view. Try to get there before dark and have a cocktail on the patio. There’s no seats so it’s designed just for a cocktail. Tables inside were cool and quickly design. Menu is small but apps were awesome! We just shared a bunch and everything was delicious! The bartenders are fancy and make awesome cocktails. Note this is in the Athletic Club so not easy to find. Really cool.
