The Details on Terrace at Trump
Know Before You Go:
Although it's adjacent to the hotel's fine dining restaurant, Sixteen, the terrace's menu is different. you can't order from Sixteen's menu outside. If a stray summer storm rolls in, head inside to the Bridges Room, just off the terrace, where the terrace menu is also available.
When to Go:
Wednesday and Saturday nights from Memorial Day to Labor Day are especially prime because you'll have a front-row seat to the fireworks display set off from Navy Pier.
What to Drink:
Although predictably pricey ($14), the nautically themed cocktails are creative, incorporating artisanal spirits, fresh fruit, herbs and spices. The boutique wine list has a special emphasis on rosės.
The Extras:
Be sure to admire the servers' stylish peach and brown uniforms, which were created by local designers Anna Fong and Nicholas Joseph Custom Tailors.
