    Disappointing Service, Aggressive Management, and Double Standards at LH Rooftop We hosted a celebration at the LH Rooftop VIP Lounge on August 3rd, and unfortunately, what should have been a high-end experience turned into a deeply frustrating one. We spent over $3,000 on our reservation alone and were hotel guests staying on-site, yet we were left disappointed. We had a minor setback with the food coming out later than expected, which left us with a lot of food to eat at the very end. However, the real issues were the service and management. Early on, our server Ellie made an uncomfortable comment implying we hadn't paid for our event in full weeks prior. We had paid in full, and while we were over by $137 due to a few extra shots, we were well aware of it and settled it immediately. Later, I purchased two additional bottles of champagne on my personal tab for over $450. Despite full gratuity being automatically included, the bottles were simply dropped off on our table with zero flutes. I had to explicitly request flutes just to drink the champagne I had just bought. The biggest issue was the manager, Chase. Around 10:30 PM--30 minutes before the rooftop closed at 11:00 PM--my brother was preparing to order a bottle of Patrón so we could enjoy our remaining time. Instead of welcoming the business, Chase came over and abruptly told us we needed to "wrap it up," claiming our section ended at 9:30 PM and that he had already given us a "free hour." When I pointed out that we were currently drinking $450+ in newly purchased champagne and actively trying to order more, Chase became hostile, dismissive, and facetious. He claimed he didn't know how much a bottle of Patrón cost, but insisted that staying in the section required $500 every 30 minutes. I was shocked because it's just for the last 20 minutes of the night before closing and no one else could get in the section once we left because they were closing. When I explained that we were hotel guests, had spent thousands of dollars, and were trying to continue spending, he completely brushed us off. His attitude was extremely off-putting I literally had to tell him to check his heart because of how cold and confrontational he was being. Bottom Line: We were the only prominently Black group on the rooftop, and the aggressive pressure put on us during the final 20 minutes while trying to spend more money felt targeted. It was hard not to feel like a white group in the same position, spending thousands of dollars, would have been treated with far more respect and flexibility. LH Rooftop completely ruined what was supposed to be a celebratory night. I will not be returning and cannot recommend this place for private events or VIP lounge bookings.

    I loved my date night here! Gorgeous rooftop views! I'm so happy I had a reservation. They keep the reserved table area blocked off to give people privacy, which is nice. I definitely recommend a reservation or else you'll most likely be standing and it gets crowded. Excellent cocktails. I loved the Purple Rain Sangria and espresso martini. My boyfriend loved his old fashioned. Delicious desserts! I loved the Mississippi Mud Pie, which is a vegan chocolate mousse and cake dessert with fresh raspberries. Every bite was perfection. My boyfriend really enjoyed his strawberry shortcake cheesecake too. Fantastic and attentive service. Plates are cleared promptly, waters refilled, and plenty of check ins. There is a 90 minute time limit for reservations. There was a paper on our table letting us know when time would be up. With a reservation, each person must order a beverage and food item. Really lovely ambiance. Great tunes playing and it was wonderful to enjoy a night outside and take in the city lights and all the beauty.

    We tried to make reservations for brunch here but couldn't get them for the time that we were visiting Chicago. We were staying next door at the Royal Sonesta and decided to try our luck as walk-ins. That didn't work out very well for us. We went up to the Rooftop and gave our names and sat in the hot sun for at least half an hour waiting. There were some empty tables but we weren't called. Finally we were shown to a table by the big screen TV. Our server was Holly, who seemed in a rush. She pointed out the Purple Rain Sangria ($20) as the drink to get, so we decided to try it. It was ok but we've had better elsewhere. We also ordered 2 breakfasts and a Lolli-Waffle to share. They tasted ok, nothing special. As we ate, we noticed that Holly seemed to get a little impatient and was trying to hurry us up. I thought I was imagining things. We had to remind her that we were waiting for the waffle. She forgot about it and rushed off to make sure it was being made. The view was stunning and it was so nice there. We were enjoying our vacation until Holly came back and said that our time was up and we had 10 minutes to leave. We said "What?". She said since we were walk-ins, we only get 1 hour to eat and it was almost up! No one told us that and we were shocked! She brought us a to go box so we could eat our waffle somewhere else. Unbelievable! There were empty tables around us. This really upset us and we couldn't wait to leave this low class place by now. She brought us the waffle box, and I paid our bill and we left. We walked back to our hotel and when we opened the box to eat our waffle before it was cold, we saw that it had crumbled into pieces already. So that was our experience here. I notice in the reviews about this place that their customer service was lacking. Hopefully, they do something about it.

    What a view!!!! Staff is very kind and helpful, food came out on a timely manner would have liked better pours on the overpriced drinks and a longer stay.

    Perfect day - hard to come by in spring Chicago but we got lucky. Sun came out as soon as we sat down for lunch and some light wind made it hard to navigate some food items but really cool place to try with great views. People make me nervous near the edge as well as loud groups. Yes were outside but we dont need the entire skyline of Chicago to hear you as well. Maybe I am just getting old. Our lunch was just enough - the bacon dip was great but the chips could be better. I take it they were baked but they just fell apart. I might rather have potato skins or even just sliced baguette. This place would be cool to come back to at night on a summer night or even a special party for a small group of girlfriends or something. Our server got lost for a second but the secondary staff was very attentive in clearing dishes.

    Made a reservation here for lunch. Located on top of the LondonHouse - this was situated outside on the terrace. Really cool views and we had a nice day of weather. There was some delays in service despite a ton of staff running around. We started with the jalapeno popper dip which was good and came with tortilla chips. I just scooped the dip with a fork - had some nice kick to it and the flavor was good. For my meal I went with the burger - cooked medium. It came with a sauce on top of it and two large strips of bacon. This was really good, and I substituted the fries for a side Caesar salad. Overall really good - the old fashioned I started with was standard as well.

    My girl friends and I came from San Diego to Chicago to meet our favorite author, one of the must to-dos for our trip was to check out a Rooftop Bar. I found LH online and booked us a reservation, after a quick dinner and a walk at Navy Pier, we walked over to LH Rooftop. The hotel itself is stunning it's at a prime location right next to the water so we were all really excited to go. We took the elevator which is directly in front of the host stand, I will say this, the hostess was so rude and really didn't make us feel welcomed, she told us that in order for us to sit at the bar we'd need to fill a food quota? Not told when I made a reservation but we had walked a good distance so of course we stayed. Our server was nice and accommodating, we were sat a cute low top. We ordered truffle fries and sticky toffee pudding a round of cocktails. I ordered the Smoke Show, because they were out of Bad Bunny. The drinks are so good, super flavorful and had the right amount of booze to keep us warm. Okay now the food, we were full from dinner so our light bites were perfect. The crips were crisp and salty and had the right amount of truffle that black garlic aioli is insane and the sticky toffee pudding reminded me of London. After our meal we went to the rooftop and took a ton of photos, because we came in the beginning of March there weren't any bartenders upstairs but it was just as fun and beautiful. Minus our earlier interaction we had a great time and would definitely recommend LH Rooftop to others.

    Services are great friendly and super nice to be honest the drinks are great super good just right. Food ehhh it's mixed emotions to be honest the burger was good but way too much sauce and onions over kill bacon was super good. Steak fries ehhh that sauce the put on the fries not a fan of it it was just a bit weird to be honest and too much of it also kills the taste of the fries. The short ribs are not that good and not enough meat on them but more fat on them. The shrimp cocktail was good though not bad. Price for the taste way too much to be honest needs to be a bit cheaper for the taste but come and try it for your self like I always tell everyone but great views for sure.

    The views of the city are amazing and the drinks were tasty! The bad bunny is a great drink it's not too sweet and not too bitter. The area is however rather small and fills up pretty quickly even during the weekday when I went. If you have reservations for the rooftop that would be a better not option but I wouldn't suggest popping in just to go to the bar.

    Your right next to Trump tower.

    My wife ordered the Pineapple Paloma and the Wagyu Beef Ribs. The Paloma was $20, but it tasted weak. No one asked if we wanted water, and since I noticed a water pitcher at the bar, I assumed it was self-service. It wasn't until about 10 minutes after my wife received her drink that we were finally brought glasses of ice water. The Wagyu beef ribs were tender, and my wife liked that the sauce wasn't overly sweet. They were advertised as spicy, but they didn't have much of a kick. The onion rings that came with the meal were extremely hard. When I cut into one my wife gave me, half of it shot right off the plate. I ordered the Ribeye Steak Frites. It was interesting, I never had steak and fries slathered in gravy before. The dish had good flavor, but it just wasn't my personal preference. I did appreciate that they provided chopsticks. Overall, the food was average, but the view was wonderful. The service, however, felt lacking. I can't say for sure, but I couldn't help wondering if we didn't receive the best service because we didn't "look the part." We were driving home from Electric Forest, so I was wearing a Demon Slayer Hawaiian shirt, and my wife was dressed comfortably in a T-shirt and slacks. She wanted to order another drink, but our waitress didn't return until after we had finished eating. By then, we were ready to leave. Because of the slow and inattentive service, we ended up leaving a 10% tip.

    One star for the service. When I went to the rooftop bar I ordered a drink that tasted pretty good. However, after I ordered my drink and looked at the view, I went back to the bar to ask for a few napkins because my drink spilled all over me... there were about four bartenders at the bar and not one of them stopped, turned their head or payed any attention to my existence RIGHT in front of them. It took about two or three minutes trying to get their help until someone came up to me and brought me napkins. Mind you, there was no other customer at the bar at the time either. Just me. The additional star is for the view. I would recommend this place to everyone I know because it's so nice however I have not been able to get past the poor manners and treatment that I received. I'm writing this review now after some time has passed simply because the service was so outrageous and unprofessional.

    I couldn't get a reservation for lunch up there. Everything was booked a week in advance. So you must book way in advance for the summer months. You can still go up to the 21st floor to see this spectacular view!

    First time here and it was a wonderful experience. Service was excellent, Joanna was tool care of us and delivered a memorable visit. We had Brunch here, Chicken and Waffles was delicious. Perfectly seasoned and moist. The Creole Shrimp and Grits was creamy . The drinks, Spicy Hibiscus Margarita is a must have! They not shy about tequila. The atmosphere is so chill and relax. The draw is the view! You dont get the view from the dining room, however you have go to the 22nd floors and enjoy the view of the city. The rooftop is open with dining and bars during the season. Highly recommended if you are visiting Chicago.

    Food and drinks were good. Prices were way too high to go back on any type of regular basis, which probably explains why it wasn't busier.

We were so happy with everything! Our server was wonderful! The entire staff was so friendly and on top of their game! We never waited for anything. They were immediately refilling our waters, offering more bread, removing dirty plates, replacing silverware, and offering the next course. It was perfect! The views!!! I think there's not a table in NoMi that doesn't have an amazing view. The main, large window faces the lake (East). Arriving just at 7, you get the full affect of the city, and lake, and then the sunset and lights of the buildings. It was absolutely magical. I couldn't get enough of it. The inside of the restaurant is beautiful and clean, but honestly it could have been a pit and I wouldn't have noticed. You'll be focused on the views for the entire evening. The food!!! Everything is very fresh. It's all well-prepared. Everything was delicious. There's a good variety of dishes to choose from. Plenty of healthy, low-carb options. We each ordered our own appetizers. I had the crispy Maitake mushrooms and my husband had the mussels. We both loved our food and left nothing on our plates. Excellent choices, that we highly recommend. As our main course we shared the sushi platter. The seafood was fresh and the sushi didn't have too much rice. It was the perfect amount of food with our appetizers. They have an extensive wine and drink menu. For drinks I had a glass of the Sauvignon blanc and my husband had a red blend. For dessert we weren't really hungry enough to eat anything else but my husband wanted a pallet cleanser. They have a few sorbets. My husband settled on the cherry cola sorbet. They brought it out with a little chocolate that said "Happy Anniversary" in French. They did not add it to our bill. Very sweet of them. It was probably one of the best anniversaries we've ever had. The bill was about $230 before tip. We highly recommend coming here for any special occasion.

There needs to be more organized seating all around the 360 because the place is packed. There are some tables closest to the Bar but not around the entire deck. You have to hold your drink the whole time and get bumped into. There is no obvious line at the bar and you accidentally go in front of other people who thought they were in line and they get upset. There are also mini bleachers where people were spilling their drinks because there was no place to put their drinks. The floor was sticky and wet. We got alcohol spilled on us from those climbing down the bleachers. Not a pleasant experience. The drinks were ok. My Magnificent Margarita was too sweet for my taste and it was a generous pour. My daughter had the Crossbeam and was able to select what she preferred. I should have done that one. The bartender was friendly and nice despite how busy he was. There are restrooms for men and women but the women's is not very big or wide. The line is mostly outside the restroom. It was tight in there. Would we go again? Yes.

That said, this place just completely disappointed. The food was just not good. I had the burger sliders and for $9 a piece you expect them to be something special. They were not. Overcooked with a little sauce and two pickles slapped on the bun with a tiny little dab of fake cheese - it was like a bad and way more expensive version of McDonald's. The onion rings were the frozen crumbly kind not the fresh beer battered kind and so that's a big "no!" for me. The dipping sauce was okay. Service was friendly and I think the guy was new but it wasn't good enough for a place like that at the top of the building. There were two servers so I'm guessing one was training maybe. They didn't make it to my table to check to see if everything was okay while I was eating and it even took them a while to notice that I was done eating. It's was slow so I don't think they were stressing with too many tables. That kind of place should knock your socks off - but it was on the low end of mediocre. I wouldn't go there again for food. Maybe it's a decent place to go to the bar but since I don't drink I can't help much on that end.

It is a must visit - if only all hotel restaurants were this good. We had a late dinner reservation on a Saturday night, and the restaurant was almost emptied out. So that made for a lovely, semi-private dining experience. Selecting a wine was dicey, as earlier that week flooding had damaged the cellar (!), but our server, Alex, was very helpful and worked with us to find something to my liking. We landed on a 2015 Cornas which was showing beautifully and matched perfectly with our meal. Alex did a fantastic job taking care of us during the wine reconnaissance and throughout the meal. Speaking of which, we started with the deviled eggs, which were amazing. An elegant balance of cream and salt from the caviar. For my entree, i had the venison. It was a seared filet on I believe a sweet potato puree, and it was rich and tender. Order it rare, if its on the menu. Kelly had the filet, also rare, and found it to be superior to most Chicago steak house filets. Our side was the divinely creamy Aligot mashed potatoes. Don't skip on these! For dessert, there was a decadent, gout-tempting chocolate mousse preparation. Served tableside, its all you think you can eat. I had a heaping serving, ate some, took the rest home. Kelly had the (also) Decadent Chocolate Cake, which too was superb. Cocktails were excellent, as is the bourbon selection. Service was impeccable. Our dinner was long and leisurely, and we look forward to returning.

    Kari's Rating 7.5/10…read more Came in with a friend around 11:30, it was absolutely desolate except for this client conference call that wrapped up around us. When you first walk in, you have to take the elevator up to the third floor, where a hostess was waiting at a golden black themed restaurant. This place is extremely ornate and luxurious as you walk in and greeted by a full air bar where all the liquor is positioned up in a translucent brass cabinet. Walking a little bit further into the restaurant, you see all of the chairs decorated with a gold studded Maroon leather. The tall ceilings give way to a illuminated faux skylight. The seating designs are minimal designed. We thought we were walking into a brunch menu but they had transitioned to lunch and re-ordered the lobster roll as well as the asparagus tip and almond pasta and the sweet potato fries.

    When I was planning my sister's bachelorette party, I wanted to find a restaurant near our hotel…read morethat could accommodate different dietary preferences (i.e. no pork, vegetarian/halal, etc.). I found Ila's on Google and liked the variety of menu items. The food appeared to elevate comfort food from multiple cuisines, such as American, Italian, South American, Asian, and Southeast Asian. I reached out to the restaurant and was assisted with a reservation for 14 people. Our table was set and ready to go as soon as we arrived at 8:30pm on a Saturday. Overall customer was excellent. Thank you to the hostess for making my sister, the bride, feel special. She complimented her and hyped her up for the night, which was really sweet. Our server was awesome too. He was friendly and highly attentive. Loved that our food and drinks also came out in a timely manner. I enjoyed everything I ate. I had a few bites of the appetizers including the scallops, fried paneer, and 2 kinds of empanadas (corn and chicken). We also got lumpia and a mixed bread platter for the table. Though I didn't have any of the latter, they were a hit at our table. I got the burger as my entree, and it was such a redemption from a crappy burger I got elsewhere earlier in my trip. The double smashed patties were juicy and flavorful. I devoured the burger and loved the thin cut fries. All-in-all, we had a lovely dinner at Ila's for my sister's bachelorette party.

    Last minute after-work HH at Ila's and it didn't disappoint. The Gin Blossom was shaken to order…read more(love a fresh craft cocktail over a pre-batched one), and it showed. We also tried the chicken & corn empanadas and the cheese pesto flatbread--all solid. The only downside was that it is super quiet with only a 3 parties including us, so don't expect a buzzing happy hour scene. The space is absolutely gorgeous though, with beautiful interiors, comfy high-end furniture, and great service. Hoping this place gets the love it deserves.
