    If the weather is good, you get a great view of the city. The servers aren't very attentive and considering the price of everything, we shouldn't have had to wait 20 minutes for a drink.

    Not a lot of food options, and the drinks weren’t that great. Some things I saw on the menu online sounded great, then when we got there our server let us know they took off a lot of food options off because it has been slow. Why take off some of your best food options then? Our waitress was very nice and quick but I wouldn’t return, the view wasn’t anything grand either. It is a cute spot, but drinks/food don’t make it worth it.

    Terrible service. For the service and the price I wouldn't bother ever going again even though the views & ambiance are nice. Our server kept telling us that the bar was backed up when we ordered wine & there was no one at the bar. What he meant by backed up was couldn't bother to check as he was too busy flirting with the hostess. Glasses of wine are tiny and overpriced. Buy the bottle if you bother going. Food was overpriced for the portions & not a lot of variety. If this place wasn't counting on uninformed out of town guests they would never make it as an actual restaurant. Sad really because the space with the right team and menu could be exceptional

    This was my third time attending after going twice during their soft opening. The food has always been good however the service has always been lacking & has even gotten worst since their soft opening. Our server forgot our wine bottle after reminding her twice. When we asked the person who started bringing out our food about the wine she was also rude & said she didn’t know who our server was; what?!? We received food but no extra plates or utensils & had to ask for those as well. Our server was not attentive & we even had to find her to get the check. The table next to us also had the same issue, only difference was she offered them a discount or would comp their beers she forgot. I love the food, vibe & view at the hotel & restaurant but after the 3rd time I will not come back until service is improved.

    We had a great experience! The view of a wedding taking place on the next rooftop was a bonus. The Purple drink was a favorite among our group.

    Excellent service, excellent food- the music was obnoxious- maybe I’m not used to the LA scene but the music made me leave earlier than I wanted.
