13 Chicago Restaurants With Great Views - Chicago - The Infatuation

"Despite serving tacos, Solana is less a restaurant and more a glorified observatory in the middle of Wicker Park with an incredible city view. While some downtown rooftops have views obstructed by neighboring skyscrapers, this spot on the sixth floor of the Robey Hotel is wide open for prime skyline ogling. And that’s what it should mainly be used for, preferably with a beer or a frozen piña colada, while dipping your feet in their public, humorously small pool. Ignore the dry carne asada and al pastor tacos on the menu. You’re here to get the greatest hits of Chicago skyscrapers in one view—get your phone camera ready." - veda kilaru, john ringor
