"Be sure to take reservations for outdoor seats on OpenTable, we were told when we arrived that the manager has to change this with OpenTable because outdoor seats come on a first, first served basis only. Despite the mistake, they could still sit on the day we arrived, but I could easily see that it could be a real problem on other days. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was great on the roof. Only two small complaints: we ordered lemonade for the children, and what they brought was not typical lemonade, but some fizzy concoction made by the bartenders. Our server couldn't tell us what was in it, and first we were worried that they would drink us someone else and it would have had alcohol in it. One of our children liked it, but the other child didn't drink it, and the server didn't have anything to do about it. My burger was good, but some of our other food items came at the price with quite small portions. The pear salad also had no greenness."

It was nice to sit out on their rooftop deck for the evening.

Excellent food, extensive beer and drink list. Young vibrant crowd and a perfect rooftop deck. Deck seating is first come, first serve so your reservations won't apply.

The menu is pretty cool and offers a variety of options, but the presentation was average. Our server was pleasant but was unskilled at knowing when to refill our drinks and/or check on us. View menu

In the beginning there was a mistake about my reservation. We couldn't keep for the roof (I did it online), but they put me on the waiting list for the roof. And stand out, in the restaurant or roof, it was great. And many international choices of beer. Absolutely come back!

The rooftop at this restaurant is absolutely incredible! We visited for the first time since moving here about a month ago, and even during the pandemic, they had the rooftop set up beautifully, with well-spaced seating, a mobile menu, and fantastic service. Based on our experience, we will definitely be back, not just because we live only 2 minutes away. View menu

Overrated roof restaurant. The ambience outside was ok. but there is so much more opportunity to create a magical ambience, as there are no spectacular views. The food was good, although they did not get the medium rare steak directly on the first attempt. The service was missing. No one down on the Hostess table, although the shield said wait to sit. There was a waitress for the whole roof. Overall prices are not worth.

The service was disappointing. The waitress seemed annoyed to be there and wasn’t very friendly. The food was mediocre. I ordered the steak frites. The fries were cold and hard and the steak was luke warm and chewy. My husband ordered the shrimp sandwich and it was ok. We had mussels as an app which were delicious. But overall- we had heard such great things about this restaurant and it did not live up to our expectations.

"Tempesta is arguably one of the best sandwich shops in the city. They make a lot of their meats in house and use high quality ingredients so you know you’re getting the good stuff. Not only can you get a great sandwich, you can purchase most of their meats to go as well as other small artisanal grocery items. I have tried almost every sandwich they have on the menu but my top two choices would be the #1 The Dante and the #2 Yo! Vincenzo! The Dante is their version of a classic Italian sandwich but a bit on the spicier side. The Yo Vincenzo is a chicken parm and I personally think it’s the best chicken parm sandwich in the city. The chicken is perfectly crispy, and they use just the right amount of sauce where it doesn’t get soggy. Both of these sandwiches come on their fresh baguette which helps set them apart from other sandwich spots in Chicago just because of how good it is. The B Franklin is also a great option, and if you’re starving get the Wagyu Pastrami but be warned it is a very heavy sandwich because of that Wagyu. The last pro tip I’ll add in here is order your sandwich ahead of time if you’re doing takeout. This is a very popular spot and is always busy during the lunch rush so if you wait to order until you arrive you may need to wait for 10-15 minutes. That should speak to how good this place is because it’s in such high demand, so if you’re in Chicago make sure you stop in!"
