Lamb and steak were no good, food was flavorless. Beautiful view for drinks. Would not order food again.

Some of the cocktails are a bit out of the box flavor wise but if you want to try random new things why not. Or go with your staple and just enjoy the vibe

Love the drinks but the food was a disappointment this time. Smash burger was underwhelming. I normally love this place but will stick to drinks next time.

Quite a disappointment…Very limited menu further reduced by their lack of preparation. They were out of 3/6 dishes we attempted to order just 4 hours after opening with the place largely empty. We were looking forward to their signature ‘knots’, which are simple pretzels but they were out of those, too!!! Unacceptable! Print a new menu or prepare better!

Rooftop bar was perfect for a cocktails with friends. We went in the afternoon and the sun was on the other side of the building so we weren’t in direct hot sun.

We came in with several reservations with a large group. Immediately, our server, Amanda, did everything she could to make our experience so incredible! She was attentive and was accommodating for several needs of our party. Absolutely recommend!
