Terrace 16 — honest food in Loop. Order the view. Old-school in the best sense, with zero pretense. "Got the best seat out on the terrace looking perfectly down the river" — Tommy Kalyn Sharp

“The food was excellent 👌”
Yes, the views are the most espectacular I've seen in this city.
I can’t put an higher rating on this experience because as our group showed up to enjoy the most recommended terrace in Chicago (we were visiting and had proper attire for dress code) they basically told us to leave.
Very pricey for not good food. Tuna poke was the worst I’ve ever tried.

“Let's begin with the staff, they were all very attentive, personable and friendly.”
Let's begin with the staff, they were all very attentive, personable and friendly. Service only received 3 stars due to what appeared to be a lack of wait staff. Everyone we encountered was great, just too much time between visits to the table. Moving on to the ambiance and atmosphere... Stunning with beautiful views of the Chicago River, London Hotel, Wrigley building and more. The interior is beautiful with comfortable seating. The food was excellent 👌. We had appetizers and shared an entree. Everything was flavorful, tasty, and presented beautifully. I look forward to visiting again. Especially for the S'mores.

We came for drinks on a Tuesday night and were welcomed by the best host Maurise! The atmosphere guides you to relax and spend your time here savoring every moment. It's a must visit place when in Chicago!

“It was an amazing experience so far.”
It was an amazing experience so far. Our breakfast was excellent, and our service always checked on us to make sure everything was perfect. He told me his name but I forgot. It started with the M and seemed like he was the only service during breakfast hours because our breakfast reservation was 7:15am and later on like 8:40am and yeah I only see him take care of other tables as well. My sister got the buttermilk package, and I got the traditional eggs Benedict and cafe latte. I love how my meal was made, those yolks eggs. Delicious 😋. Since we wanted to enjoy the views, however the door won't open until 9am so we stayed a little later. Once the balcony opened, we went outside to see the view, and it was fantastic.

“Extraordinary views.”
Extraordinary views! Restaurant and bar with high ceilings and a terrace with almost 360* views . They are others around but is nothing like Terrace 16 when it comes to views and space . The food is good and they are sufficient options to choose. Of that menu you should definitely try " mici"

“Had an amazing Lunch at Terrace 16.”
Had an amazing Lunch at Terrace 16. The view from this rooftop is amazing. The service, food and drinks were amazing. Would 100% recommend and definitely come back. And you should reserve a table days before the D-day.

“First off my banana bourbon drink was well worth the $19 and was delicious.”
First off my banana bourbon drink was well worth the $19 and was delicious. The food was good even the starter bread rolls. Great views of the lake down the river and spacious rooftop. One suggestion is to add some led candles to the tables as 8pm was too dark to see the menu.
