recommend any good outdoor dining experiences?

quality of food is not really a big factor. Smith & Wollensky had ok food but I really enjoyed it just for outdoor setting on the river and it helped that the service was outstanding. Any more good bets in the city?

Meritage has a nice outdoor dining area and excellent food. Not much of "a view" though.

It doesn't get any better than this:

OK, it's not in the city and you have to make a reservation NOW for an August seating.

BUT it's an unforgettable experience that I would not hesitate to recommend to everyone here.<ul><li><a href="http://www.audichicago.org/eventdetail.php?id=118">Outdoor dining at it's best</a></li></ul>
