This is a luxury restaurant at the top of Lake Point Towers. The food is good , but the star here is the view. We watched the sun set over the city--pink reflections on the glass walls of sky scrapers. At the same time you see the sail boats and cruisers on Lake Michigan. Plus, our food was good. It's... more

This used to be one of our favorite restaurants for special occasions. The food and service used to be excellent, no longer. The last time we were there the food was average at best, the waiter tried to cheat us on our bill (I gave the benefit of the doubt and thought it was accidental until I read another review... more

Cite' has a beautiful impressive view but that is about all it has to offer. It definitely was not what we remember it to be a few years ago. The decor is dated the waiter was extremely impersonal. He only smiled when he delivered our check. The other staff was very friendly. I ordered salmon and expected it to melt... more

I had a very pleasant and tasty meal at cite with a business colleague. I am an experienced traveller and am very familiar with fine dining. This meal was enjoyable, but not spectacular. The service was very friendly and polite; although they are not nearly as professional as one might expect from such a costly restaurant. The views are amazing!... more

It's my fault. I read the reviews and ignored them. We arrived at the restaurant and noticed it was half empty. Strange for a 70th floor restaurant when fireworks are scheduled. We ordered wine and when it arrived it was room temp. Not a problem except that the room was 82 F. I went to find my waiter (he was... more

This restaurant greatly inconveniences patrons by requiring a detailed credit card pre-authorization form be faxed to secure a reservation for certain days in the year. This is not only terrible service but highly inconvenient and insulting. Furthermore this speaks very badly for the classiness of the establishement implying that either their customers are of a demographic prone to leaving without... more

Cite restaurant is a total waste. Quanity and quality of food is poor. Had to wait over 50 minutes for appetizers to be delivered. Watch your bill carefully, restaurant will add 20% tip to your bill with party of 6+ people. Waiter tried to cheat us on the bill by adding 20% tip for food and another 20% tip for... more
