Reviews For The 101 Bar, Grill & Rooftop

The food, service and atmosphere are better than most hotel rooftops in the city! The staff is friendly and attentive, the food and drinks are always top notch and the atmosphere is true Chicago! A summertime stop on repeat.

Great rooftop restaurant! Emma was my server. Super friendly and professional. Sunset was delicious. See photos. I had the lamb chops. WOW. Sooo good. Perfectly cooked to medium rare. Lovely Sauce. Asparagus was frill-blackened just enough for a rich charred taste. The potato’s were crisped to my request (as for that if you prefer).

Let me introduce you to the best happy hour in town! Available 7 days a week from 5-7pm. Seriously, who does that?! Every single item on the happy hour menu is a treat. I couldn't even decide on my favorite--it was a toss-up between the Burrata Brulee and the Lamb Hummus. And don't even get me started on the margaritas; they come in several flavors and are perfectly balanced, not too sweet--a total win for me. The service was outstanding. Alexander was incredibly personable, attentive, and had excellent recommendations. The restaurant itself is stunning. We dined in the bar/grill area, but there's also outdoor seating that feels so cozy with the fireplaces. They've just opened a new 101 Club on the 19th floor, and there's also a breathtaking rooftop. This place is a true gem and an absolute must-visit!

Mia, my server, was great. She quickly greeted me and met all of my needs while I dined. She gave wonderful Happy Hour recommendations when I asked about drink options. The food was delicious, it was a very nice spot to have a quick bite on a Sunday afternoon. 10/10

Came here for a late lunch on Saturday since rooftop season is approaching! EVERYTHING WE TRIED HERE... 10/10! You could tell that everything was fresh off the grill and the presentation was beautiful! We views were immaculate (you can choose where you want to sit instead of being seated which I love) and they also had a good mix of music playing on the speakers! This will definitely be a spot I frequent this summer! Here’s everything we tried: -101 Burger sliders -Shrimp & Lobster Roll sliders -Crispy Onion Rings -Elotes -Caesar Salad -MEXICAN MULE -TIKI TIME TEA -GRAN COPA PALOMA (x2)

Great new place in our neighborhood. Excellent ambiance and atmosphere. Our server was outstanding and knowledgeable. We ordered grilled salmon well done and the dish didn’t come out well done. Well Kevin was very observant and came to our table and brought back a new well done salmon dish which was excellent. The cauliflower steak was outstanding and tasty. We had awesome experience and definitely recommend this restaurant.

The atmosphere and food are divine! We started with happy hour downstairs - hummus and margaritas were amazing. Dinner on the rooftop was delicious - and our dessert was top notch. The views are stunning!! Most importantly, our server Don was SO attentive and lovely on a busy night. His great vibes matched the beautiful energy of the space. The manager checked in and was also incredibly kind. I haven't had service like that in a long while. Will definitely be back!
