Lents left the restaurant last year to move to Detroit. While current staff is tight lipped, Dostal’s predecessor, Thomas Lents has spoken a bit.
Trump has led the charge to use “Chicago” as a racially charged euphemism when talking about gun violence.
Reilly told multiple media outlets that he “encouraged them to pursue restaurant tenants rather than bar and nightclub.”īeyond a Chicago magazine interview with Dostal - which head-scratchingly ignored addressing any controversy surrounding Trump - none of the players involved in the restaurant have spoken with the media.

The president’s son and Reilly talked about how to better lure tenants to the building, something they’ve struggled with, as previous materials omitted the Trump’s name. was in town on Thursday to chat with Alderman (42nd) Brendan Reilly in front of today’s opening. Compared to the old menus, these items are better suited for the 200-seat terrace. Main dishes include a $26 cheeseburger, squid ink chitarra (fruits de mer, tomato, espelette), and broiled black cod (cippolini onion, summer squash, scallion sauce). There are also oysters, wagyu beef carpaccio, and sweet pea garden toast (Sixteen’s returning chef Nick Dostal’s spin on avocado toast) as appetizers. Terrace 16 uses truffled cheese and salted caramel. The new menu includes items like a play on Garret Popcorn Shop’s caramel and cheddar cheese Chicago Mix. That’s a contrast with Sixteen which offered a $175 tasting menu. The most expensive item is a $52 bone-in ribeye.
The prices are much lower at Terrace 16 compared to Sixteen which closed in April inside the 92-story building in River North. And there’s also that contentious relationship between President Trump and Chicagoans. The reasons for a rebrand aren’t clear, but it’s a good bet it’s a blend of reducing prices and the need to freshen things up after Sixteen’s 10-year-run. Terrace 16 opened Friday morning and replaced Sixteen, which in its heyday was one of the best and most luxurious restaurants in the city, as well as the Terrace at Trump outdoor cocktail bar and small-plates spot. In a week when talk focused on a Virginia restaurant refusing to serve White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, and when a Chicago bar banned MAGA hats - only to retract the action - the new restaurant inside Trump International Tower & Hotel Chicago opens.
