Going for a few days to visit family, here's what I have so far. I'm still wanting a good steak and ramen option?
Food
- Furama, imperial la-mian, daebak, friistyle, al's beef, lou malnati's
Activities
- field museum, art institute, museum of science and industry, skydeck vs 360, millenium and grant park

Im pretty sure the downtown location is closed right now but Toni is my favorite spot for breakfast or brunch. Amazing crepes.

When are you going? Indoor dining was just shutdown.

Architectural boat tour is pretty awesome, I’m aware that it doesn’t sound awesome 
ETA: Au Cheval burger is fantastic too, not sure what their status is with COVID though

yeah, unfortunately i booked the ticket over a week ago (flights were $99round trip).
still lots of good patio dining and takeout options at least. I just have to remove some, add others, but there's a few I wanted to try so takeout is the go-to and just walk/eat which isn't a big deal.

Just got back from Chicago this past weekend. Most indoor stuff is closed. Some bars in wrigleyville are getting away with opening a window and letting people sit inside by it, which most bars in wrigleyville were open. All of downtown was dead, navy pier was closed (not sure if that is a seasonal or covid thing). We did take out lou malnatis for deep dish and it was very good. Pequiods is my favorite there though.

Wife & I loved Gibson's
We were very disappointed in the RPM restaurants (Italian & steak).
As someone else mentioned, the architectural boat tour was fantastic, although it sounds like it would be really boring
Edit: You didn't ask, but we really liked Viaggio's for italian

I was skeptical at first, but it's a must do.

Agreed on this one 100%, maybe Portillo's if you want a quick bite as well.

I enjoyed it and would do it again.

I have two "must dos" whenever I'm in Chicago- Au Cheval and Bangers and Lace in wicker park. I just don't see a way au cheval is operating right now if there's an indoor dining ban. I guess you could try takeout.

Girl and the Goat
Was worth it..so good.
Cool spot we hung out at was the Chicago Athletic Association...old Sports bar type feel...really good spot if it's cold out.
Awesome rooftop area there called Cindy's.. great cocktails overlooking The Bean and views of Lake Michigan
I could go on and on.....our trip to Chi was great

Tango Sur is one of my favorite spots.

A shame you can’t eat there because the ambiance at night is great

Yep you will need to do some more research to confirm their outdoor setup but shouldn't be a huge issue.
LINK for outdoor dining
From this link, swift and sons, maple and ash both have large tents if you want a steak.
Monteverde also has a tent and is one of my fav places.
