"Cité, a fine-dining restaurant with spectacular views, is also for sale. Despite its prime location, it has been losing money and is currently $6.1 million in debt." - Naomi Waxman

This place was not my favorite. Unaware of the dress code, the hostess told us she would still accommodate us. I feel like they were judgy. There is a women who takes your photo, you can still take your own; I wanted to get the photo which was 12$ but you have to have cash app, Venmo to pay. She was at our table longer than I would have liked, to download apps..so interrupted dinner. The steak was good, the salmon was unsatisfying, 3/4 of it was thrown away. The fries were better than the salmon. I wasn’t fond of their 20% auto grat, as I’m a server and aware of tipping..more than 20%. Although it took a long time for our bottle of wine..I got the feeling they don’t want to make things exceptional because they get tipped regardless. I still left an extra 10$ would have left way more. We dined at Morton’s on Friday and Chop House on Saturday, if you want better service and quality of food head to either of those places. I have given this four instead of three stars for the simple fact of the view. We had done the sky deck on Friday night and that was sufficient enough for me. Save yourself 315 bucks

Amazing amazing amazing. We celebrated our two year anniversary here and man was it special! We ate and drank for two hours enjoying the sunset. You are definitely paying for the view and your meat of choice here!y filet was so tender it shocked me. Such a special night I will never forget!

The view is fantastic. I loved the lobster bisque, the salad was good I had snails. All of that was tasty. The margaritas were tasty. I had a ribeye steak and I was not a fan. The steak needed to be a little bit more flavorful in my opinion. It was a great experience overall but I wouldn’t go back there again for the steak.

Other than the price, Cite was a fantastic experience! I made a reservation (which you can add special add-ons) and when we got there, they had exceeded our expectations! My husband and I were celebrating our 3rd wedding anniversary. They had our table by a window with roses, candle, and chocolate covered strawberries (which was an added price). During the time of the reservation I asked if we can sit by the window to watch the Navy Pier fireworks and they did! We had the best view! Service was excellent! Food was exceptional! It is pricey but definitely worth it for a special occasion. It is formal as well.

This place was amazing, this is a place you'd want to go for a special occasion. The view is amazing, I'd even say breathtaking. The customer service was extremely nice and funny :). The food was overall delicious and high quality as you pay for what you eat. The price is hefty but you won't regret it for those moments where you want to celebrate somewhere fancy :).

We came to celebrate Easter at Cite and partook in the Easter Brunch experience that was prepaid for via Open Table. It was $125/person for the brunch. The views from the restaurant were immaculate and the wait staff was very nice. The experience however was not the best. The communication between the wait staff and their knowledge or the prepaid meal was lacking. We asked one of our waiters if we were all set to go since we did not drink any alcoholic beverages and he checked and said we were. As we were walking out we got stopped by another waiter presenting us another receipt of $425+. I informed him that we had prepaid on Open Table and it included everything and he had no clue what I was talking about and had to call his manager. We were awkwardly waiting by the exit as he did this and the manager came up and said that drinks were not included in the brunch. So we ended up paying an additional $50 for 5 Coca-Colas and two waters on top of our $375 meal (three people). I am not only upset with the fact they charged us for tiny sodas but at the fact they made us feel so uncomfortable after we had been told that we were set to go. The decor in the restaurant is very tacky and out of date so the limited inside pictures are deceiving. The poles were wrapped in fabric and the chair covers were also old looking.

This is a great place for a date! The view was beautiful. We ordered the New York strip and the duck. Both were nice flavors and didn’t wait too long for it to come. The waitress made sure everything was good and we were happy. There was an entrance fee for the view that was $55 plus whatever dinner was. This was about a $300 dollar date including the fee, 2 drinks, 2 entrees and 1 appetizer.

Best view in Chicago. Ive been frequenting this place for years. Ive tried other restaurants, but this place just checks all the boxes. The food is amazing and they always come through when I ask for items not listed on the menu. Once I asked for cherries jubilee flambé. A few nights ago I asked for filet Oscar. Love the romance packages available, the photographer, piano, and great service. It is also the only high rise east of Lakeshore Drive with great views for fireworks. I love watching storms on the lake as well.
