Summer is a fleeting, precious time of the year for Chicagoans, one that we look forward to while we wait for the worst snows of January and February to pass \u2014 a time when, for once, our faces don\u2019t hurt while we\u2019re outside. Though restaurants are still adjusting<\/a> to a pandemic-era summer season, people seem to be managing to get out and enjoy views of the lakefront<\/a>, the Riverwalk<\/a>, and other waterfront spots. If you\u2019re looking to enjoy some of the best parts of a Chicago summer while you can, check out these waterfront restaurants.<\/p>\n
