Signature Room at the 95th

Chicago


Given that diners spend most of the meal view-gaping, you’d think the kitchen atop 875 N Michigan wouldn’t trouble itself over the food, but the chef does a fine job with the fish, steak and pasta dishes. Vegetarians will find a fair number of options available. Dress for dinner is business casual; no ripped jeans or tennis shoes allowed.

Weekend brunch features an all-you-can-eat buffet (adult/child $60/25). Cheapskates should note they can get the same vista for the price of a (costly) beer, one floor up in the Signature Lounge.
