What people say about Cindy's Rooftop

View is what most of the patrons rave about first, as Cindy’s has an enviable view with Millennium Park, Lake Michigan, and the downtown skyline, offering Cindy’s an ambiance that cannot be matched by many. Patrons also appreciate the cocktails, seasonal food, good service, and the year-round glass atrium. Patrons rave about duck pot pie, seafood, hamburgers, French fries, and the brunch menu. It is an extremely popular restaurant, which makes noise, crowds, and difficulty getting a good table common observations. Opinions about food value are not as favorable as the opinions on the view; however, patrons who have booked Cindy’s for its full rooftop experience know why.
