   I went to celebrate my boyfriend’s birthday and the staff was very kind and gave him a glass of champagne on the house! Wonderful and beautiful atmosphere as well

   During happy hour this spot is very enjoyable. Late night, not so much. Too loud and too young at that time.

   The drinks were too nondescript for the price. Wine selection was underwhelming, a (classical) mixed drink was below average. We did not have any food. The worst part is that there are speakers everywhere and they were streaming boring loud music. The location is great, but the view from the rooftop is obstructed by a fairly tall wall. You can see the cityscape if you standing, but not if you are seating at the tables. So the only reason to come there did not deliver either. It is a shame, because the place has great potential.

We appreciate your comments about the drinks, wine selection, and overall atmosphere, and we will be sharing your observations with our team as we continue to look for ways to improve. We’re glad you enjoyed the location, though we regret that the view and ambiance did not deliver the full experience you were hoping for. Your input is invaluable, and we hope you’ll consider giving us another try in the future — we would love the opportunity to provide you with a more memorable visit.
