I found a last minute reservation for 6 guests. They seated us at a big table next to the fireplace. The room was warm and cozy. The burrata with beets was delicious and the grilled gem lettuce was excellent but the fried whole branzino was not only impressive in the presentation, it was delicious as well. Service was wonderful and the view during the day and evening can’t be beat

I love Cindy's. I've been several times but I've never written a review, which I shold considering how many times I've recomended it to people when they menton to me they are going to Chicago. The view is spectacular. I was in Chicago for just a day and a half and wanted to bring my GF there for a quick drink. It was my first time having a mocktail, and it was delicious. The bartender ( I feel awful for not remembering her name. Woman with realy awesome dreads) was super nice and talked to me about what made the mocktail taste like an actual drink. She was very friendly and attentive. Everytime I'm in Chicago, I make time for Cindy's.

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)

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.
