Full Details:

Sixteen is located on the 16th floor of Trump International Hotel & Tower Chicago. Here, diners can enjoy panoramic views of Chicago’s famous skyline, the Chicago River and Lake Michigan. The restaurant also provides a special vantage point from which to admire the architecturally significant Wrigley Building and its larger-than-life clock tower.

Sixteen features the modern American cuisine of Chef Frank Brunacci. While modern American cuisine is often stretched to include a panoply of cooking styles, Chef Brunacci’s approach intelligently unifies traditional European and Asian classic cooking techniques with a stress on quality, fresh, locally-produced and seasonal foods. At Sixteen, his philosophy comes to life through breakfast, lunch and dinner service.

Chef Brunacci’s nightly dinner menu is designed for a three-course selection. To start, appetizers include Taylor Bay Scallops with Potato Foam, Mushroom Fricassee and Paprika Oil ($18); Peeky Toe Crab Dumplings with Artichoke Puree and White Truffle Mousse ($20) or Quail Breast with Leg Confit, Red Beet Puree and Cilantro Salad ($17). Main dishes are equally diverse, including items such as Halibut Pil Pil with Lima Bean and Red Snapper Confit and Saffron Broth ($35); Pork Trio with Calvados Sabayon and Chanterelle Croquettes ($34) and Lamb Loin Crusted with Parsley, Fresh Harissa and Salsify ($41).

Pastry Chef Hichem Lahreche—who staged at some of the most famous Parisian patisseries and worked at renowned D.C. dining institutions such as the White House, Colvin Run Tavern and Kinkead’s—is at the helm of all things sweet at Sixteen. The utmost care goes into his à la minute prepared desserts like Lemon Verbena Cake with Lemon Sabayon, Lemon Chip and Curd Brulee ($12); Praline Croustillant with Caramelized Banana and Lime-Tequila Ice Cream ($13) and Study of Strawberry with Parfait, Sorbet and Tuilé, Bound with Vanilla Oil ($14). Due to the intricate detail of the desserts, each of which is made only as ordered, guests are encouraged to select all of their courses at the start of the meal.

Sixteen gives meaning to the notion of the “power” breakfast—or lunch. Colleagues can negotiate in the early hours over specialties such as Lobster Tostada with Poached Eggs and Béarnaise ($31) and Scrambled Eggs with Smoked Bacon and Fresh Mint with Caviar on Brioche ($22). Business associates may prefer to celebrate a deal over lunch while enjoying items such as Red Lentil and Smoked Bacon Broth, Pop Rock Shrimp and Cilantro ($12); Grilled Deli Ciabatta with Serrano, Sopresatta and Garlic/Basil Oil ($17) or N.Y. Steak Frites with Green Peppercorn Sauce ($34).

Wine-lovers can appreciate a savvy, intensely sourced wine catalogue inclusive of Champagnes and Old and New World wines available by both the glass and bottle. The wine list includes nearly 900 bottles presided over by Sixteen’s Sommelier. Wine service standards at Sixteen are derived from the Court of Master Sommeliers, ensuring an impeccable program but with a passionate, friendly and unpretentious approach.

Sixteen offers breakfast daily: Sunday through Friday from 6:30 to 11:00 a.m. and Saturday from 6:30 a.m. to 12:00 noon. Dinner is available Sunday through Wednesday from 5:30 to 10 p.m. and Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 5:30 to 10:30 p.m. Lunch service is available Monday through Friday from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
