"Converted from Sixteen, Terrace 16 debuted in June in River North as a more casual restaurant; I noted that management hoped the change would inject energy into the space, and chef Nick Dostal stayed for five months after the conversion before announcing his final day on November 26. While the team was proud of their efforts, Terrace 16 failed to attract Michelin’s attention, and Reader critic Mike Sula wrote a controversial review that attacked the president’s politics and criticized the food. The restaurant sits on the 16th floor of the Trump International Hotel & Tower Chicago, with 30-foot floor-to-ceiling windows that frame exceptional Chicago views; the tower is owned by the Trump Organization." - Ashok Selvam
