    This high-end spot still knows fun. "Can a four-star meal begin with fried smelts and end with a Butterfinger bar? My last dinner at Sixteen says yes." -Chicago Tribune on TripExpert Read more

    Terrace is table service only, but well worth the wait. The hazelnut, chocolate nutella and caramel ice cream mini waffle cones are the perfect sweet treat - they come in a pair perfect for sharing.

    Sea scallops and sea urchin is an inspired duo, brought together with citrusy yuzu cream and super-smooth pommes puree with a subtle scent of coffee.

    go with someone else, split the wine pairing, and for the 4 choices, choose opposites so you can share all the items.

    They have stepped up the game. 9 course meal that changes with the seasons. The summer menu is beyond ridiculous. I went with day and the rest of the table went with night. Really couldn't lose.

    Personally, I thought this restaruant took fancy too far to the point where you look at the menu and your eyes cross and you wonder if its even English! Much to my chagrin, I MUST reccomend this food

    Head to the sixteenth floor of the Trump Hotel next time you're in the mood for a splurge, where chef Thomas Lents is serving elegant, refined and clever dishes. (And the view is spectacular, too.): Read more

    Amazing food! Make a reservation... Staff is so posh you kind of feel uncomfortable... I get it your food is awesome but warmer staff would close the deal

    Sixteen's barrel-aged negroni cocktail, the aging rounding out the bitter notes without obscuring them, is the best negroni I've ever had.

    Don't bother eating breakfast here. Day 1-Lobster brioche was bad. Lobster watered down, brioche was sopping. Day 2-Egg white omelette was ok, but boring. Sunday brunch looked good though. Try that!

    Don't be seated next to obnoxious drunk people. The staff doesn't know how to handle difficult situations and would rather let all their patrons be miserable than confront something unpleasant.

    Outside the summer months, when the deck is closed, this place is a bit sad. Go to ReBar downstairs instead.
