    Our server Carlos was amazing and so kind to our 9 year old daughter for her birthday. He brought her out a little birthday cake with a candle and a Shirley temple. She felt so special had the best time. It’s been her dream to visit the Trump Tower, and although the weather did not permit us to go out on the deck, she really enjoyed her trip 😊

    Our server Alejandro was AMAZING!! Super nice and went above and beyond for us. We ordered the burger and filet mignon. The food was great as well, but we’d go back just for the service alone 🩷

    It’s a mixed experience dining at Terrace 16. We went the day after St Patrick’s Day Celeb and got a table by the window - thanks for that we had a pretty nice view of the buildings along the river as well as a portion of the river. That’s almost the only nice thing about this experience though. Food is overpriced with mediocre taste. Two of us order Continental breakfast and got a bagel and a cup of cereal with yogurt for $30 - overpriced and the bagel is average Midwest bagel texture still. The so-called “freshly pressed” juice tastes like Ocean Spray. Other two friends ordered pork and avocado toast - needed hot sauce for the food to be flavorful. Service was okay - we got our water and food in time. People in charge of us didn’t remember who ordered what, and they came again later to give my friend a piece of missing pork from her plate - never happened to me even in McDonald lol. Chairs are uncomfortable - my butt constantly felt the spring inside. And the chairs were visibly heavily stained too. It’s pretty loud during the time we were there. Some groups were yelling and screaming with excitement. Understandable as it’s the day after St.Patrick’s day. Just not very pleasant and hard to chat in this ambience. 20% gratitude was added already when the bill arrived. We normally gave 20% regardless of the service, as we know it’s uneasy to be in the service industry. Does the service and food in all worth 20% though? My bagel and cereal disagree :( Likely won’t visit again.
