"In addition to Cindy’s, there are actually a lot of other great spots at the Chicago Athletic Association, like The Game Room (a cocktail bar) and this place, an upscale restaurant on the second floor. The main design elements at the Cherry Circle Room are dark wood, overstuffed leather chairs, and a huge fireplace. It reminds us of a fancy turn-of-the-century lodge, and the rustic menu (with plenty of roasted meat) fits the ambiance. It’s perfect if you’ve ever wanted to join a secret society without needing to learn a bunch of passwords and handshakes." - adrian kane, john ringor, veda kilaru
