    The server was completely disconnected, and missing the whole time. It took another server to notice we were not greeted after 15 min of sitting. After the unassigned server notified our server she came to our table and didn’t even say hello and just demanded a credit card. This is tacky, I’m not in a club and not going to dash on my tab. If this is a problem your establishment has, it’s likely because servers are not engaged with their tables. Not even Chili’s asks for a credit card when you sit down. After waiting another 15 minutes for our drinks the server placed them in the middle of the table and walked away. Due to the servers lack of engagement, we asked to close out. Sadly I was prepared to order food and additional drinks and likely spend three times what I spent but I’m not going to invest my time and money in a disjointed experience.

    Beautiful experience brought my sister for the first time for her birthday and we had an amazing night. Amazing view, great food, relaxing music, the server was always checking up on us making sure we were taken care of. It was such an outstanding and unforgettable experience. This will be my main spot to come relax all the time. I definitely recommend this place to any one.

    Wanted to enjoy the view hence the point of booking a reservation at a rooftop bar but we got seated in a corner on the side of the building with no view. Two options for dessert. What we ordered was absolutely disgusting. Plus server couldn’t even bother to find a candle (we were celebrating a birthday).

    Valet is free once you get your ticket validated by the restaurant. Great service and friendly staff. The vibe and the views are wonderful. We were there after 7 and they were pretty lax on the dress code... some people were there with flip flops and shorts, while others were dressed up. Drinks were good, not great and for that reason, we felt the drinks were overpriced. We ate the Peaches & Burrata and really enjoyed that. The Surf & Turf Dumplings... we had to force ourselves to eat because neither of us enjoyed it... terrible. I would go back for the views and the Peach dish for sure.

    Good evening Larry, Thank you so much for sharing your feedback, we are so happy to hear that you enjoyed the views and our Peaches&Burrata. We passed along your comments to our bar and culinary team for our further improvements.
