I got tired of watching the refs fix the Heat and Celtics game so I just shut it off. Anyways, mother's day is coming up and I'm thinking about taking my mom to a restaurant for dinner that has a good view of Chicago. I've been in the city for 2 years but haven't really tried too many different restaurants. Anyone know of good restaurants that have a great view of the city at night? The only one I know of is the Signature Room on the 95th floor of the Hancock. I was thinking doing a rooftop restaurant, but I figured it might still be a little bit chilly.

Trump Tower has the terrace which is outdoor and has great views and Sixteen which is on the sixteenth floor but has great views as well.

signature room is pretty classy and indoors, why not?

i had more than an excellent time at the signature room on the 95th with my girlfriend. i would recommend that place. we got the michigan avenue side window seats and the view at night was AWESOME.

+1 on Signature Room.

Great thread idea. I also have been meaning to get suggestions new restaurants with a nice view.

Charlie Trotter's 9 course meal is pretty splurgy.

Signature Room has better food - but Mid America Club has just as good if not better views than the 95th. i think it's the 80th floor in the Standard Oil (AON) tower. killer buffet lunch for like $22.

also don't forget the rooftop restaurants in Greektown like Pegasus. can you beat flamining saganaki with a killer west side view of the loop? i think not. opah!

Everest is one of the best restaurants in Chicago with one of the best views in Chicago. The Metropolitan Club in the Willis Tower is another top-rank choice, but I'm not sure if you need to be a member.

Fred's on top of Barney's over on State and Oak overlooks the Magnificent Mile going south. It's about 25-40 a plate.

This is how the inside looks:

Is the Spiral Tower cancelled?
