I recently had the pleasure of visiting Cerise Rooftop, and it was such a delightful experience! The views of the city skyline are absolutely stunning, and the chic, modern decor sets the perfect mood for a memorable evening.The drink menu is impressive, with a wide variety of creative and delicious cocktails. I tried a couple of their signature drinks, and they did not disappoint! The bartenders were friendly and knowledgeable, enhancing the overall experience.I'm giving it four stars instead of five because the service was a bit slow at times, especially during peak hours. We did have to wait longer than expected for our food, but once it arrived, it was fantastic--well-prepared and full of flavor!Overall, Cerise Rooftop is a great spot for a night out if you're looking for amazing views and tasty drinks. Just be ready for a little wait during busy times, and you'll have a wonderful time! I can't wait to go back!

Nice views. It was easy to reserve a table for brunch. This rooftop is located at the top of the Virgin Hotel. We first sat in the big blue chairs but opted for a regular table and chairs. On the day we went it was very sunny, 80's and beautiful. On the rooftop there was plenty of flowers. While the flowers were beautiful, plenty of wasp or bees buzzing around. No one got stung but they were aggressive. (bring you epi-pen if allergic). For food, we got the double smash burgers with fries. My bestie got the pork shoulder skillet with sourdough toast. Overall the food was good and priced fairly. I will say that the menu was limited. For drinks, there was a full bar. We opted for bloody mary and white wine. The drinks were pricey. Downside was that the drinks served in hard plastic cups. White wines just doesn't taste the same in plastic cup. I would give this a 3.5 out of 5 stars.

The bar hosts a 5 star-view (including an Instragramable but overly-illuminated table with swings for chairs). The bar is thankfully not subject to strict dress codes. But the service is just okay at best and the drinks are insultingly weak. My Tito's and cranberry was so red it was stopping traffic 26 floors down.

The Cerise Rooftop bar has a fabulous view of the Chicago Sky Line. I love going here during the summer time to sip cocktails and admire the view. Cerise has a very young crowd that gathers here. It's not fancy or swanky. They have a few small tables and sofas on the balcony, and it is very narrow. Seats are limited and it will be standing room only as the evening progresses. I don't recommend this rooftop for big groups. They normally have a DJ playing music so it can be loud at times. The bartenders are okay, and the customer service is average. The last time I visited I ordered a Margarita, which was made well. It cost around 14 dollars. In conclusion, the view of this rooftop is the most positive aspect. I wouldn't go here expecting great service or a great ambiance.

My friends and I went here after work. Their wasn't a big crowd and the weather was nice. I was surprised on how long the wait was to get our food and drinks. It took ar least a hour to get our food. We decided on not going forward with one of our entrees. We explained our concern to the Manager Keke and she was very understanding and accommodating. She made out visit much better and we plan to visit again. The views are nice and the ambiance was hitting.

Spent an absolutely blissful Sunday on an unseasonably warm and sunny fall day... on this rooftop. Can you even think of a better Sunday funday? Go get an espresso martini, or even better get their chai version, and have a day! We also split the Ceasar salad and a plate of fries and it was such a fabulous, elevated take on some simple classics. The fries were so crispy but creamy on the inside, and the aioli on the side was such a bright pinch of lemon. Super addictive. The Ceasar salad was heavy on the dressing and cheese, but the flavor was noticeably homemade and classic, with anchovy flavor present. The staff was kind and accommodating even though we showed up without a reservation and sat us right away. I will truly be dreaming of this day until my next visit!

Had a reservation for 2 weeks and when I arrived they told me too bad cause they would rather prioritize certain patrons. What's the point then??? Made us waste $$ on Ubers just to be turned away. Disgusting.

the service has no clue what they are doing. First we can't sit somewhere because they have reserved signs. Then we can sit outside on the patio, then we can only sit in a corner of the inside where the music is blaring. it was a blessing anyways the drinks are way more expensive then they taste. They water them down.

Definitely without a question not a restaurant! Checked into hotel and went up for a drink and grab something to eat. Opened at 4:00 and we were there at 4:05, greater stated they didn't have a table for 3 event though we were literally the first ones there. Bottom line, this place caters to non hotel 20-30 yr olds and has no interrest in serving hotel guests.
