Great atmosphere but service was very very slow. Inventory for food & options also low. The marketing 100% did not match the experience.

There is no way to reserve specific tables. It is a very casual after work “cool” atmosphere with lots of fabulous chatting and having fun ! So many of the tables are low cocktail tables and it would be difficult to enjoy much of the food on the menu. Example : the flatbread was rich with cheese and sauce, the sausage exceptional. But it overflowed the wooden platter it was served on. At a cocktail table the food and cocktails for three people would have made it nearly impossible to enjoy the food. The drinks were exactly as described but due to the din my classic martini ordered in the rocks with two olives. It came “up” and empty. A mistake made due to the sound level. Over all, with the move to a high top, our experience was delightful.

The ambiance was great, the drinks were good. The food was not the best, but the environment made up for it. The roof top added a very nice touch to the evening. It was good night.

We had a wonderful time this past evening at High Bar. I will recommend this a very nice upscale rooftop bar. The atmosphere was soothing and just the right space to have a conversation. The food was excellent. I only have one suggestion regarding the hummus offering. It may be a good idea to offer fresh veggies instead of grilled pita bread. The valet service was excellent and very appreciated. I'm looking forward to our next visit.

Dear Deborah, What a tremendous review! Thank you so much for your compliments. I am so happy you enjoyed our food, service, and atmosphere. I have noted your recommendation regarding our hummus, and I will surely consider your feedback. Our goal is to make our patrons return, and we are thrilled to hear that you plan on doing so! We eagerly await your next visit to High Bar Clayton Rooftop! Best, Brian Parrott General Manager
