"The large restaurant that specializes in roasted proteins, carved tableside, has an elevated outdoor patio that offers one of the best downtown riverside views in Chicago. Diners can even take a water taxi right to the door. Catch live music from 5-7 p.m. Thursdays during the summer while sipping a negroni or espresso martini made with house-infused coffee vodka. Make a reservation through OpenTable." - Ashok Selvam
