DELICIOUS!!! My first rooftop dining experience and first time trying Peruvian food! Worth every penny. This would be a great date night spot. The staff was so friendly and the view was incredible. I loved all of the cilantro We went on a Monday but definitely recommend a reservation

Food is excellent but the atmosphere is amazing. There are few better places to spend a sunny warm afternoon than this rooftop. Enjoy a great meal and then finish it off with a cocktail by the pool. Perfection!

This place is a MUST visit in Chicago. I took my team here for a work dinner because they were traveling in from all over the country. I wanted them to see and experience Chicago. We were all very pleased with the experience! The skyline view is amazing, the food is delicious and the staff is courteous and speedy. We shared several small plates and a variety of cocktails.

This restaurant has a great vibe. I was looking forward to authentic Peruvian food but the food served tapas style with just a handful of "Peruvian" dishes. The dishes are more Peruvian Gastro Fusion cuisine instead of authentic but still good. We ordered salchipapas, papas huancaína, choclo, goat empanadas and the steak saltado

Our last dinner before leaving was a great one. Although we had a slow start, waiting a good 10 minutes before someone came to the table, they quickly recovered and the food came out fast. All items were delicious. We will definitely return on our next visit.

Our group has a great time! The vibes were great, with a DJ spinning some good tracks for an upbeat evening. Food was fantastic and had plenty of variety. Great for a date or night out with friends!

The empanadas were great! My friend had Girl and the Goat the day before and the empanadas there were better, but these were delicious. The steak saltado was quite good too, potatoes, sauce, and well cooked steak. It was pretty expensive and I wish the skyline view was a little better but we still had a great meal and I would come back to try more of the food here.

I had one summer bucket list item left- eat at a rooftop patio restaurant. Cabra was everything I envisioned and more- to my surprise, the food was so good, I probably could have been thrilled eating here if it was in the basement! Cabra feels like a patio even "inside". The view is beautiful, it's great to see the city, as the city is much more than just the lake. I had the salmon ceviche to start and literally I could have been done there in my delight. It was so good, I wanted to lick the bowl. After that, each item was somehow better than the last. I had the chicken, the dish with crab and potatoes, the halibut, and thennnnn THE SWEET POTATO DONUTS. I didn't mention the drinks, which were also lovely. Well balanced and delicious Ok it's not cheap. But what is to be expected when the FOOD & the VIEW & the STAFF.... AND the entire place. It's completely worth it for girls night, date night, or just for a moment when you want to feel like you're on top of the world and fed like royalty.
