We came for my birthday with our two young children. Our server was Nick and he was an absolute delight. So attentive to our table and the kids as we sat on the patio. when I went to the washroom part way through the meal I realized he was also servicing a full dining room inside! I have no idea how he managed all the tables, he was the only server, not one thing was missed, food timed perfect, his support staff was also so wonderful. The food was good but the service was really what shined. Also a great happy hour menu. 10 Stars for Nick

Fantastic dinner and service. Everything was exceptional, from the small bites to the larger plates. Our entire party of 6 loved all of the food ordered. Immediately recommended to other people after we ate there and will definitely go back. Great dining experience from start to finish.

    First time at Cindy’s. A beautiful place with fabulous views of Lake Michigan, the harbor and Millenium Park. We arrived about 25 minutes early. The hostess was great, made us feel very welcome and said even though we were early we wouldn’t have a long wait. Within 5 min. We were seated. Waiter was very courteous and professional. I ordered the fish sandwich which was a bit bland and the French fries were warm. I requested extra tartar sauce which improved the flavor of my sandwich. My guest had the beet salad with chicken and said it was tasty. The prices were very reasonable for such a lovely place. Will definitely comeback. Great ambiance and overall experience.
