Towering above Chicago in the John Hancock Center along Chicago’s Magnificent Mile, the Art Deco-inspired, wood-adorned Signature Room at the 95th features panoramic city and Lake Michigan views... The setting is rivaled only by Executive Chef Patrick Sheerin’s upscale contemporary American cuisine and a multi-award-winning wine list. Frequented by tourists and locals alike, the restaurant features a menu emphasizing steaks, chops, and seafood. Committed to using the best ingredients available, Sheerin has cultivated relationships with local farmers and growers in a four-state area and uses sustainable and organically grown products in his dishes whenever possible. Beyond his interest in all things local, Sheerin also enjoys bringing notable chefs to Chicago: he fosters a culinary exchange program, bringing culinary masters from Canada, Japan, Brazil and China into his kitchen. When diners aren’t feasting on Sheerin’s fresh fare—or ogling the skyline—they can take in the dining room’s dramatic 150-foot-long mural by renowned Chicago artist Gregory Gove or sip cocktails at the 96th floor lounge. On weekends, Sunday brunch and live jazz further the appeal of this popular dining destination. Having achieved Wine Spectator Awards of Excellence since 1999 and Wine Enthusiast Magazine Awards of Distinction since 2001 for its selection of 250 global vinos, the restaurant also has been bestowed with accolades from AOL (Most Romantic Spot since 2000) and Playboy (Most Romantic Spot in 2006). Proving it’s not just a pretty place, the restaurant gives back to the community via its charity of the month program; a four-course “Signature Selection” menu provides selected non-profit organizations with 10-percent of proceeds from the sales of the menu. A popular choice for functions, The Signature Room’s private dining rooms—which can accommodate up to 1,000 people—afford views that can extend as far as Indiana, Michigan, and Wisconsin.
