VU Rooftop
Chicago
Recensioner
Finally made it onto the VU rooftop, but actually missed getting onto the rooftop. Doesn't make sense, right? Anyway, we were sat at a table next to those that were literally outside in hopes that we'd finish our meal in enough time to physically be on the rooftop. Starting with service... Our server was fabulous - knew the menu and was able to get the kitchen to modify an item per our request. However, the service itself was slow, took 20min for our drinks to arrive (and they were delicious). Food arrives, the request was not honored but ate it anyway. As we were finishing the meal, they brought the modification to the table. While it was too late to eat, the manager comped the meal for us. Lastly, they closed the doors so no one could actually get on the rooftop. Beautiful night, people were out, but access was denied. Which we found out they do regularly, but is confusing. Why close the rooftop and deny guests an opportunity to eat under the stars or capture the skyline & ambience? All in all, good restaurant but a series of unfortunate events didn't leave us with a great experience.
This is my first time here and I really enjoyed. The food came out warm and everything was fresh. Our waitress was polite and very attentive. The owner (or manager) walked around to greet patrons and asked if we needed anything. The atmosphere was calm and comfortable - not too crowded or loud. The bathrooms were very clean. It might be helpful in the future if they reupholstered some of the booth seating. Some of the cushions were ripped exposing the inside stuffing which was a bit off putting. But everything else seemed in order and clean. Had a great time would definitely visit again.
Such wonderful servers and had AMAZING, yet affordable food! Views are pretty especially out on the patio. Drinks are pricey, would still absolutely recommend if you’ve never been to Chicago before
Love this place!!! The music was pleasantly great and I don’t care for R&B too much, but the music was a good mix of hype energy! The only slight problem I have is that the particular DJ for that night might need a little more experience! His transitions were a bit erratic and switch overly very sharply as if you would think the one song was going to play, but he’ll switch it over right at the good part LOL! But overall, I will keep coming back, unless something bad/weird happens, and hopefully not!
