Cité Fine Dining at the Top of Lake Point Tower:
A WORLD CLASS LANDMARK

Imagine sipping your favorite champagne and enjoying salmon raspberry as red and golden hues from the falling sunset shine down on the city's landscape and into your candlelit booth.
These magnificent 360 degree images, exquisite continental cuisine, as well as intense and meticulous planning and implementation have made Cité: Fine Dining at the Top of Lake Point Tower into a world-class establishment.

Chief Executive Officer, Evangeline Gouletas, known to all as "Engie," continues to make Cité an ultimate dining experience. "In my world travels, certain restaurants have stood out as the ultimate; whether in style or service or exceptional cuisine. Each one reflects a commitment by the owner to be the very best ...and each restaurant makes the owner's own personality and sense of style available to public view."

Engie, whose personal flair and style has gathered notice in society pages throughout the U.S. and Europe, makes that personal commitment to high style every day, and demands the same from her restaurant. Her attention to detail never ends and continues every time Engie enters the restaurant. "The view is more stunning than I have seen at any restaurant in the world ...but, in order to make Cité the absolute best, I have to mentally 'close the drapes' and pretend there is no view at all. "

In doing this, Engie turns her attention to the human side of the dining experience. According to Engie, "People make a restaurant successful. From the dining room manager to the busboy, everyone at Cité upholds my philosophy that their job is equally important to the guest's ambience."
Engie's guiding principle remains that everyone is her guest of honor. "You should honor your guests as you would in your home. The best of the best for your friends. " Friends like Anthony Quinn, Gina Lollabrigida, Zubin Mehta, Brigadier General Patrick E. Rea and Princess Elisabeth of Ysenburg, as well as a host of Chicagoans and international visitors, are dazzled by this dining experience.

Congratulations Cité! You proudly stand as a world-class institution; a treasure that must be cherished.
