    Antonio our server was awesome. View spectacular. Food was great. Really enjoyed it all and made my wife’s birthday very special. Only two negatives we rented the cabana which I don’t think is worth it in the long run but was fun for this one time. Won’t do it again. The cushions at the outdoor seating cabana were dirty. The staff however was absolute wonderful and made a special night

    Overall just average, rented a private Cabana for a special occasion, dirty, scuff marks on everything, view of the city is behind you so you cant even see it. Just staring at a wall. Nothing to help with chillier weather. Was expecting a wow factor from this experience and was just overall let down, especially for $400 ... server was nice, but you can tell she forgot about for a while due to her having to many tables. Not worth your time or money.

    I made a reservation for a Cabana and purchased the '818-Experience'; they booked out the rooftop for my reservation date; and did not inform me prior to making this reservation and only until 5 days before my reservation. I had difficulty contacting them for adjustments to the point in which I gave up and just cancelled my entire reservation and did NOT want to re-schedule, which is a shame cause I truly was looking forward to it. The organization needs to SIGNIFICANTLY improve.

    We wanted to try the igloo, so we made the reservation, it was Uber costly for 2 people. 400 bucks for a bottle and an appetizer and igloo. I liked the food though. And let me tell you that 400$ hurt. Imagine you are paying for freezing yourself. I was under the impression that the temperature will be well maintained. But, not only it was poorly packed, our heater broke down twice. For once we asked to fix and they just turned it on back again, didn't check the fuel level. Next time we just wanted to finish food and rush back home. The server checked after a while and realized, oh it's freezing cold here. So after such experience they hand you 400 bill with 100$ service charge. Ain't that funny !

    The igloos were great and Viola with the Kennedy staff was very accommodating when I made our reservation . We booked the dinner igloo and curling . Food was great and the curling was really fun. We were streaming music through our phone in the igloo and when our wonderful server , Kiara , saw that she left and came back with a blue tooth speaker. The view from the rooftop was incredible . Highly recommend this experience .

    Had a wonderful time with our college-aged kids. Rooftop view is amazing with a beautiful sunset. Cocktails were well crafted and fresh and the food was surprisingly unique. Wine list was more limited, but otherwise couldn’t have asked for a better time. The bartender and staff were awesome - top notch.

    Went for drinks in the boozy igloo. The view of the skyline was spectacular and the igloo was a nice set-up. Had some appetizers..the hummus plate was amazing! Service was good and attentive. Had to purchase a bottle to reserve the igloo but I guess that is to be expected in the city.

    Kennedy RooftopResponded on March 11, 2021I am so happy to hear you enjoyed your time in our boozy igloo. I will share your comments with the team and thank everyone and the Chef for all their efforts. We look forward to seeing you in the near future and hope you have a wonderful rest of the week! Sincerely, Adam Miller

    Tried curling. It was fun, but because it’s not on actual ice and no sweepers are needed it was basically shuffleboard. We enjoyed being on the rooftop deck and eating by the fire table. A good Sunday afternoon outing with our teens.

    Kennedy RooftopResponded on February 24, 2021I am happy you enjoyed your time at the Kennedy Rooftop. We get a lot of families that come for brunch that love to do our curling and spend time with their families since it is out doors and is nice to get out. We look forward to seeing you in the near future and hope you have a wonderful rest of the week! Sincerely, Adam Miller

    Celebrated a birthday here. Rooftop view was beautiful, igloo was surprisingly warm. I only wish that we could have had more time for the reservation. I was also sad to see the dine in menu be limited compared to what the online menu displayed. The food was still delicious and we really enjoyed our time there.

    Kennedy RooftopResponded on February 24, 2021I am happy to hear you enjoyed your visit to the Kennedy Rooftop. We plan on getting more igloos for next year and will take that recommendation into consideration. Our full dinner menu is offered in our igloos which is the same menu we had on line so not sure if you didn't get the correct menu. We look forward to seeing you in the near future and hope you have a wonderful rest of the week! Sincerely, Adam Miller
