Signature Room at the 95th

I took my girlfriend here as a surprise to end a trip to Chicago. I made reservations for 8PM(Because sunset was listed for 8:15, but things don't get dark until about 9). To get there you take an express elevator which takes probably less than a minute to scale 95 floors(Your ears definitely pop!). When you get there, you're greeted with the most spectacular view of the city you could ever hope for. I got there 30 minutes early because I wanted to request a south window seat early(The view of the city which has the skyscrapers, lake, Navy Pier, etc) and you are NOT able to request a table with your reservations, meaning that we had to wait for one. At 8 the server said that it could be over an hour before we were seated, but amazingly at 8:30 he called our name and gave us an amazing table. The service here was impeccable, the only issue is that the servers did not seem very personal at all. We were served by about 3 or 4 different people, none of which introduced themselves, and they seemed to serve the section as a group, as several people got their dessert, checks, etc all at once. We ordered almost all of the vegetarian selections on the menu, the appetizer was a mushroom strudel with goat cheese and truffle which was delicious, even though I don't like mushrooms! It was also very well presented. The main courses were a different story. I ordered the grilled eggplant which was drenched in a sauce which didn't taste very good and didn't feel like it was cooked amazingly well(It was, however, well-presented). My girlfriend got pasta primavera which was delicious, but it didn't seem to be anything you couldn't find elsewhere. The desserts were well-priced, she got the creme brulee which was about what you would expect, and delicious. The atmosphere well makes up for all of this, it is a sight that cannot be captured in the photos.

Pros: View from any spot, amazing service, great appetizers and dessert, not extremely expensive
Cons: If you're looking for an entree that will amaze you, look elsewhere

My husband took me there for our anniversary. The atmosphere is very elegant and classy. My husband made reservations beforehand to get a table by a window. If you want good seats, I suggest you make reservations beforehand. The view is amazing. You get great food and a one of a kind view at the same time. The service was great. Our waiter did not rush us. He took his time and checked if we needed anything. The food was also fabulous!

Pros: Service and food were excellet
Cons: To get good seats, make reservations beforehand

Terrible Service. Sorely disappointed.

I am from LA and made a reservation for my birthday. I changed my dinner reservation to drinks which I told the person over the phone. When I got there at 10:30 PM, even though they had seats, they wanted to kick us out since we were only ordering desserts. I told them that I would order many desserts to make it up. No cigar. Asked them to make an exception for my birthday which was that night. No.. Just terrible how people can treat others. Literally left that moment. Felt completely horrible and just left a bad taste in my mouth since there were no other patrons waiting for dinner and they just wanted to kick us out on a technicality of not ordering dinner.

Pros: Great viewq
Cons: Terrible disappointing service

i took my sister here for her birthday and it was everything i expected. great atmosphere, great view,great service,wonderful food. so don't let peoples bad reviews fool you this is a 5star restaurant and with a restaurant of that quality you can expect to pay a good amount. so if you're cheap don't bother going

Pros: everything is wonderful
Cons: pricey

If you are in Chicago and want a fantastic view of the city without having to wait in the long lines at the Sears Tower Observatory and want a good meal, head here. I went for lunch which is reasonably priced and a good menu was offered. The service was pretty good too. You are on the 95th floor and are able to see all of Chicago and can take pictures and everything. If you are on the cheap, definately go for lunch on a week day, not on the weekends or holidays. The lounge one floor up is more pricey, with $7.50 bottled beers it can turn into an expensive lounge experience. I would recommend this for a nice lunch spot. The meal was good and the server was very friendly and even took pictures of us at the table.

Pros: GREAT views, good menu for lunch, friendly staff
Cons: VERY expensive for dinner and for drinks in the lounge
