Cindy's Rooftop is an upscale restaurant perched atop the Chicago Athletic Association Hotel with some of Chicago's best skyline and Millennium Park views. Go for the steak, oysters, shrimp and grits, or avocado toast, paired with well-crafted drinks. Book events well in advance (months to a year ahead for summer), and note that service can be inconsistent when busy, though food quality remains strong.
