    The scenery? Absolutely beautiful. The ladies that provided shots? A whole vibe. But unfortunately, the food and service didn’t match the setting at all. We were a party of six squeezed into the smallest table, even though larger tables sat empty for hours. We asked multiple times to be moved, but were told there was nothing they could do. It took nearly 30 minutes just to place our order, and about an hour after that for our food to arrive cold. One plate was completely missing, and apparently sent to the wrong table. They remade our food, it came back slightly warm and looked way better, but still got the side orders wrong. When I addressed it again, the waiter told us the cooks had been “f***ing up all day.” That may be the case, but as paying guests, that shouldn’t fall on us. Sadly, I ended up not eating, still paid for my food, and left feeling frustrated. This brunch had potential, but the execution was seriously disappointing.

    My group attended a "bad and boozy" experience that included one brunch entrée and unlimited brunch drinks, such as mimosas, bellinis, and sangria. Overall, the food was quite good considering the price we paid for the experience. However, the kitchen took over two hours to prepare our food, and the service was definitely lacking. We asked numerous times for water refills, but each time, our requests went unfulfilled. We literally felt left to dry and starving at the table.

    I made a reservation on May 20th for brunch in the sun for my birthday June 28th. I came in and was told that due to a private event my party could not go upstairs on the rooftop which was what I booked for over a month prior. This was very disappointing. I would have cancelled my reservation if I knew that we would not have access to the rooftop prior to us getting there. I think that was very unprofessional and inconsiderate.

    Arrived on time for reservation. Was seated in the back and not even offered water for 30 mins spoke to the front desk was moved to the front and waited another 20 mins before being served. We were going to leave after the first 30min wait but wasn’t sure what else was in the area. Music was so loud we had to shout to hear each other.

    Unfortunately…Avoid! My wife and I were left disappointed and treated poorly for a booked anniversary brunch meal on the rooftop. Told it wasn’t ready as rooftop opens at 12, even though it was booked for 11am. Messed around with seating downstairs. When taken up to the rooftop, after 5 minutes, we were told to move because another group needed our table. The toilets were unclean. My wife asked for the specialist cocktail but as a mocktail, meant to come in a Smokey pineapple, ended up coming in an unclean glass. At this point we left.

    the drinks were the best thing they had going there. The food was very subpar for what they charge. The food reminded me of applebee's food. in that case they should charge way less for applesbee's level food. They have better brunch than they Dinner food. There dinner food is very basic.
