This high-end spot still knows fun. "Can a four-star meal begin with fried smelts and end with a Butterfinger bar? My last dinner at Sixteen says yes." -Chicago Tribune on TripExpert Read more

Terrace is table service only, but well worth the wait. The hazelnut, chocolate nutella and caramel ice cream mini waffle cones are the perfect sweet treat - they come in a pair perfect for sharing.

Sea scallops and sea urchin is an inspired duo, brought together with citrusy yuzu cream and super-smooth pommes puree with a subtle scent of coffee.

Sixteen, Michelin-rated restaurant located on the 16th floor of Trump Hotel & Tower Chicago is the ultimate in fine dining. A superbly crafted menu features eclectic cuisine and seasonal ingredients.

BEST truffle fries ever 🍟♥️ Crispy with lots of truffle, garlicky goodness.

go with someone else, split the wine pairing, and for the 4 choices, choose opposites so you can share all the items.

They have stepped up the game. 9 course meal that changes with the seasons. The summer menu is beyond ridiculous. I went with day and the rest of the table went with night. Really couldn't lose.
Madison OrlofskiAugust 17, 2013
Personally, I thought this restaruant took fancy too far to the point where you look at the menu and your eyes cross and you wonder if its even English! Much to my chagrin, I MUST reccomend this food

Head to the sixteenth floor of the Trump Hotel next time you're in the mood for a splurge, where chef Thomas Lents is serving elegant, refined and clever dishes. (And the view is spectacular, too.): Read more

Amazing food! Make a reservation... Staff is so posh you kind of feel uncomfortable... I get it your food is awesome but warmer staff would close the deal

Sixteen's barrel-aged negroni cocktail, the aging rounding out the bitter notes without obscuring them, is the best negroni I've ever had.

Fork-tender squab gets a farm-and-forest presentation, surrounded by corn (toasted kernels and smooth puree) and chanterelle mushrooms.

Elegant venue! My wife and I enjoyed a great breakfast during our stay at Trump. Can't wait to go back...
Diana FriessJuly 26, 2012
Perfect spot to enjoy a beautiful summer day on the terrace! The freeze pops are delicious summer cocktails! My favorite was the Passion Colada!

Beautiful view, beautiful space, beautiful table settings. Great brunch. Food is not adventurous outside of brunch.

This Chicago spot tops Ivanka Trump’s list of favorite locations for food, closely followed by the worldly cuisines of Jerusalem, Istanbul and cheesy fondues from Switzerland.

It's not cheap, but the food is as stunning as the incredible sixteenth floor views of Chicago.
Camelia ZlateaJuly 16, 2013
Very classy; outstanding service and decor. Gourmet food . I enjoyed this experience to celebrate my birthday.
@MisterHirschAugust 26, 2011
Pretty much any cocktail goes great with the view here, but try The Lagoon (light & dark rum, blue curacao, grenadine, pineapple, orange, & lime juice.

Try a special library reserve release of the Chateau Chantal Proprietor's Reserve Cabernet Franc at Sixteen - a little bit of Traverse City in the big city!

Been here 10+ times
Breakfast is my favorite time of day! The service is outstanding and morning views are refreshing! Great way to start the day!

My second visit here was sorely lacking in service. In addition, they got rid of the three course lunch prixe fixe that was around $40.

Don't bother eating breakfast here. Day 1-Lobster brioche was bad. Lobster watered down, brioche was sopping. Day 2-Egg white omelette was ok, but boring. Sunday brunch looked good though. Try that!

Give yourself an extra 30 mins to order the full Japanese breakfast.

View on the Terrace is amazing. Don't order the coffee--it's essentially a Keurig pod for $5.50--it was awful!

Don't be seated next to obnoxious drunk people. The staff doesn't know how to handle difficult situations and would rather let all their patrons be miserable than confront something unpleasant.
David SmithOctober 28, 2014
Outside the summer months, when the deck is closed, this place is a bit sad. Go to ReBar downstairs instead.
