About the Place
LH Rooftop
Welcome to LH Rooftop, a one-of-a-kind culinary destination perched on the 22nd floor at 85 E Wacker Dr, Chicago. Here, the skyline transforms into a breathtaking backdrop as you indulge in a delightful dining experience. With its vibrant atmosphere, this rooftop gem is not just about the food, but the memories made amidst stunning city views.
Set against the scenic Chicago skyline, LH Rooftop offers an inviting space, rich with energy and a lively vibe. Each visit seems alive with the buzz of laughter and clinking glasses, an environment perfectly tailored for gatherings. However, be prepared to secure your spot ahead of time as reservations are recommended—especially during peak hours when the rooftop buzz reaches its height.
The menu presents a tempting variety of offerings, drawing you in with its diversity. While some diners have described their meals as merely “mediocre,” others have raved about the exceptional drink selection and vibrant atmosphere that juxtaposes any dish's imperfections. Signature items like the Elena Ruz alongside crispy tater tots showcase an innovative blend of casual bites that cater to a diverse crowd. The emphasis seems to be on creating a social hub rather than extravagant fine dining, which many appreciate for its approachability.
One of the highlights of LH Rooftop isn’t just the food but the journey to your table. A quick elevator ascent allows for a moment of anticipation; however, the limit of six passengers creates a charming, albeit slightly cramped, experience. The warm and welcoming staff aim to make every visit memorable, although service may have its hiccups during peak times, as observed by some guests.
As you sip on your favorite cocktail while basking in the glow of the sunset, you begin to understand why many consider LH Rooftop a hidden treasure of the Windy City. The panorama of the rivers and downtown skyline renders it an excellent spot for intimate gatherings, celebratory moments, or simply to unwind with friends.
With such delightful elements at play, LH Rooftop certainly earns its reputation. The blend of social engagement, scenic views, and a relaxed atmosphere makes each visit an inviting adventure. So, the next time you're looking to make beautiful memories in Chicago, remember to look up as you enjoy what LH Rooftop has to offer.
What Guests Say
Guestbook
“ We were staying at the hotel so we Came up here to check out. What a fun atmosphere. Everybody was having a good time. Make a reservation. First come first serve. The place was full of people. Great place to meet up. We were going to eat something but ended up leaving quickly because there were no seats available for us. The staff seemed nice. Only 6 people allowed in the elevator at any one time so it may take a while before you can go upstairs. Fun place with great views. ”
“ My 2 adult daughters and I went to LH Rooftop for brunch on a Saturday morning. The food was mediocre, but the views elevated it to four stars. Our server was friendly, but seemed like she was serving too many tables as it took 10 minutes to get salt, etc. One of our appetizers arrived after we were done eating our entrees. I ordered the Elena Ruz, which was decent, and a side of tater tots which were very tasty! We ordered the burger, which was probably the best thing on the table. We also ordered the avocado toast, which was very bland, and by the time the salt arrived, the eggs were completely cold. For apps: the churros were undercooked, but the truffle fries were good. The views made up for it overall. ”
“ I have absolutely no complaints about my visit here. I went at 11am when they first opened and was able to be seated immediately. I would recommend having a reservation though because tables fill up pretty quickly. Great drinks, great food, and beautiful views of the city. Highly recommend! ”
“ If you are looking for a great rooftop experience without a reservation, check out the LH rooftop! They have a reservation area but they also have an open area too. The architecture river cruise tour guide recommended this place. It is worth a visit! The drinks and bar service were great! Good service and a great conversational spot. ”
“ Worth the hype in my opinion. I took my girlfriend here for lunch on her birthday and everything was great from the food & drinks, to the service. Beautiful views as well. ”
