Restaurants with Rooftop Dining in Chicago

It happens to be one of my many summertime goals to sample the exquisite cuisine atop each and every rooftop restaurant in the city. Carpe diem Chicago's fleeting sunshine, I say, and enjoy the ultimate 'see and be seen eating' SCENE! I'm not talking beer gardens here - - I'm talking dining areas above street level, preferably with a spectacular view (either of the city or of fellow patrons)! Please feel free to add more if I negligently omitted one of your faves!
