11 N. Michigan Ave., 312-372-7275.
River Roast
This will be River Roast’s first complete summer (after opening in July), and it will take full advantage of the 120-seat riverside patio running along the restaurant’s south wall. Great river and downtown views.
312 N. LaSalle St., 312-822-0100.
Smith & Wollensky
Overlooking the Chicago River and its south bank, this steakhouse’s patio is topped with a white-fabric canopy that wards off rain and glare. It’s a perfect sunny-day hangout. 318 N. State St., 312-670-9900.

108 E. Randolph St., 312-552-0070.
The Terrace
Right outside the Peninsula Hotel’s Shanghai Terrace (by far the most elegant Chinese restaurant in town) is a fourth-floor terrace, exquisitely furnished and surrounded by skyscrapers. Dress up for this one.
108 E. Superior St., 312-337-2888.
Terzo Piano

Athena
212 S. Halsted St., 312-655-0000.

Pizza, killer gelati and a sunny seat looking toward the historic Water Tower. You can’t beat it.
110 E. Pearson St., 312-266-3110.
Boka
There’s not much room for seating, but when the weather’s right and the glass doors are out of the way, even inside diners get a sense of it.
1729 N. Halsted St., 312-337-6070.
Cafe Ba-Ba-Reeba!
One of Chicago’s oldest outdoor spaces is a large patio with a sliding-glass roof. Come for the tapas, stay for the paella. 2024 N. Halsted St., 773-935-5000.
