Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Kennedy Rooftop offers a "spectacular view" of Chicago's skyline, making it an ideal spot for drinks and ambiance. While some guests mention "friendly staff" and "delicious cocktails," others note that the food can be "overpriced" and "lacks seasoning." Despite mixed reviews on service speed, the rooftop's atmosphere and city views earn high praise.

    Nothing like what I saw online. The bartender/server was very kind, but there seemed to be no gluten-free options on the menu (which was part of the reason we came), and we didn’t even get to sit outside, which was the main reason we chose this establishment. In fact, once we were seated, we were so disappointed that we ordered a couple of drinks, and after 10 minutes, we left and went somewhere else. The entire reservation system is also very unnecessary. Why should I be billed for not showing up to a restaurant that’s almost entirely empty? Needless to say, it was not a very good anniversary, and it made me look like a fool in front my lady.

    Was a very nice rooftop with a beautiful view, however the flatbread and pretzel appetizers were not the best. Pretzels were old and hard. Flatbread was pretty much a small pizza. But otherwise everything else was great. I would go again.
