A Progressive Perspective on Fine Dining in Chicago
Guests looking to experience Chicago's most exciting dining destination need to look no further than the hotel's 16th floor, where Executive Chef Thomas Lents, Executive Pastry Chef Patrick Fahy, and the Sixteen team are presenting some of the most beautiful dishes in the city. Further establishing its prominence in the Chicago culinary scene, the restaurant has received a coveted star from the 2013 Michelin Guide, and a Five-Star designation from the prestigious Forbes Travel Guide 2013.

Each season, Chef Lents presents an entirely new dinner menu to share the best product of the season as well as engage diners with a story crafted through the dining experience. Already this year, Chef Lents has delighted guests with the Winter's Day menu that highlighted a day's activities from sunrise to retiring fireside and a spring menu that explores ingredients from three distinct environments-The Field, The Stream, and The Pasture.

The summer menu at Sixteen affords guests an opportunity to join Chef Lents in designing their ideal meal from selections offered by farmer's markets across the country. In choosing either to visit the entirety of the market by enjoying all of the available ingredients, or by creating a smaller menu with four or eight selections, diners will be deeply involved in crafting their individual experience from the bounty of summer produce. Their selections will then be brought into the kitchen where Chef Lents and the culinary team will develop a menu that beautifully showcases each ingredient.
