Shanghai Terrace

Shanghai Terrace, which Zagat Survey named the best "Chinese Restaurant in Chicago," serves Cantonese specialties inside a 1930s supper club setting or outside on The Terrace with a stunning skyline view and beverages. Enter the restaurant's alluring atmosphere to enjoy the unique food that has constantly received the AAA Four Diamond Award. The menu features a wonderful fusion of traditional cuisine and imaginative reinterpretations of classics under the direction of Chef de Cuisine Elmo Han.

In general, they don't support paying exorbitant prices for Chinese food when there are plenty of Chinatown options available, but this stunning fourth-floor terrace, bursting with fresh flowers and providing a view of the iconic Water Tower, is difficult to top. Although elevated versions of wok-baked lobster and five-spiced duck mostly live up to expectations, if you're trying to make the most of the accommodations on a tight budget, stick to snacking on dim sum and treating yourself to a pricey cocktail.
