Cerise is an electrifying rooftop bar that sparkles against the sprawling backdrop of Chicago. Twenty-six floors above the cityscape, guests are treated to a cozy fireplace crackling in the middle of a yawning terrace. Plush seating awaits, carefully distanced according to current restaurant guidelines, and an exploratory cocktail menu can be enjoyed al fresco. Cerise transforms a quick lunch in the city into a deluxe excursion with items like Heirloom Tomato Gazpacho and Sesame Seed Crusted Blue House Salmon, marinated in lemon butter. Dinner further elevates the experience with breathtaking views of the city at night.
