The staff at this restaurant is outstanding! They were friendly and welcoming each time that I ate there. They really seem to like each other and they help each other with all of the tables which makes the dining experience top notch. I especially enjoyed chatting with Melissa during my stay at the hotel. I travel a lot and I enjoyed this hotel restaurant more than most. Thank you.

My wife and I have been regulars at VU since early 2024. The service has always been amazing: prompt, friendly, and inviting. Ernesto, Dom, and Jenny have always been so welcoming and provide excellent, consistent service, and we look forward to seeing them every time we visit. Dylan and Ryan, who I both recently met, live up to all of the above as well. They make the experience of being on a rooftop with great views in Chicago even better.

The drinks are always great tasting and well crafted. The menu and food quality consistency are opportunities. I would like to see new and seasonal items more frequently and I think the consistency of the food quality can be improved so that I can confidently order my favorite items knowing what I’ll get. The furniture and upholstery could use a refresh as well.

Lastly, as a local regular, I wish there were more predictable hours of operation, especially when there are private events/venue buyouts. Most of my visits are day-of decisions and there have been many times when I want to come by and I find the entire venue is closed for a private event. I find that I always have to check if they’re open to the public by either checking OpenTable to see if there are options to reserve that same night or by actually walking by the elevator lobby to see if there’s a “Closed for Private Events” sign in the vestibule.

Given the recent change in ownership, I hope the opportunities above improve. Overall, it’s the excellent staff and warm personalities that keep us coming.

We only stopped in for drinks (so no opinion on the food). But cocktails were fun and delicious and our server was attentive. There was an event that evening so we didn’t have a view table but the overall
