The weather was beautiful and heading to Chicago on a train was void of stress. To add to this stress free time was taking a cab to Navy Pier, where we had lunch at Riva a restaurant with a breathtaking views of the Chicago skyline and Lake Michigan This Phil Stefani Signature Restaurant features a variety of premium seafood, steaks and daily chef's specials as well as extensive wine selections.This nautically inspired, vibrant dining room is complimented by experienced service. Guests enjoy the 40-foot long exhibition kitchen, which invites them to observe the preparation of their meals as well as sample items from the raw bar. Riva has three private rooms with incredible views overlooking the city and the lake. PERFECT! All this to celebrate my 62nd and Peggy's 56th birthdays this month. The food was divine! We then did some "window" shopping at shops on the way to the Flower and Garden show at the end of the Pier, noting an ice cream shop and jewelry place to stop at on the way back. You can see some pictures below that especially caught our fancy. We want to try some of these in our yards this year.
