"There’s a fireplace inside Mesler, but those who like to enjoy the crisp fall air can also visit The Sanctuary, the outdoor dining area outside Hyde Park’s Sophy Hotel. Trees give the space a secluded vibe for sitting on one of the bright purple couches by the fire pit and sipping cocktails inspired by the nearby University of Chicago. The restaurant also serves as a community hub where local artists and businesses show off their work. Book a table through Resy." - Samantha Nelson
