Harvest is a seasonal rooftop restaurant and bar perched above Lakeshore Sport & Fitness in Lincoln Park, serving burgers, salads, brunch plates, and cocktails with skyline-facing outdoor seating. It functions as a casual, relatively low-key rooftop for members and non-members who want views, curling lanes in winter, and approachable food rather than a clubby scene.

Truffle Fries, Salmon Bowl, Burrata Salad
