Signature Room at the 95th Restaurant Review:
About the restaurant: You won't find better dining with a view in Chicago than the Signature Room at the 95th. Panoramic scenes make it popular with the tourist and special occasion sets so expect the phones to be out and snapping sunsets and selfies.
Likes: The view will give you all the Chicago feels.
Dislikes: The prices reflect the premium real estate, but when 95 floors up, it's worth it.
Food & Drinks: The kitchen has a nice way with seafood, so start out with raw bar offerings or a seafood tower, perhaps followed by halibut with braised artichokes, basil pistou, capers and golden raisins. Lemon pepper roasted lamb chops may be paired with warm sprouted lentil salad. Steaks and sides such as buttery whipped potatoes round out the menu. Desserts might include crème brûlée or white and dark chocolate mousse cake. Service maintains a pleasant air, and the generous wine list is worthy of a special occasion, skewing Californian with plenty of options at all price points. Top View Brew is the restaurant's own golden wheat ale crafted by Crystal Lake Brewing. The Signature Lounge at the 96th (one floor above) offers small plates and sandwiches, along with specialty cocktails.
