   Got the tuna nachos and four cocktails between my wife and I. The best drink in my opinion was the South Side Sour. We went at 4:30pm for an early evening appetizer and drinks before moving on for the night. Great view, quiet atmosphere with good music being piped in. Our server was excellent. Would certainly go back.

    I had really high expectations and perhaps that is why I was so disappointed. Our server walked by our table on more than one occasion without checking in. She took my drink to drop off drinks at a larger table and stayed to take their order. She walked by our table again then turned around and said that she almost forgot to give me my drink. Since larger parties have gratuity automatically included, I believe that her focus was on larger table(s). We had one appetizer and drinks and decided not to stay for more. When we asked for the check, we waited nearly 15 minutes before we went inside to get it from someone else.

    Great rooftop view. Very tasty food, limited small menu but all dishes were tasty. No draft beer was available, server explained that "the CO2 had failed." Service was scattered, wait staff and manager seemed more interested in rushing us out and closing the restaurant and less interested in hospitality.

    This was our first experience at the rooftop bar. The view and ambience were awesome. However, we waited at least 20 minutes to get our drinks. We did not order food. It is my understanding you are struggling with hiring servers. It is a shame that this jewel in downtown Rockford can't be better utilized.

    I’ve been to this rooftop restaurant and bar twice now, and I really want to love it. The view is spectacular and the hotel and rooftop are classy and metropolitan. However, I’ve had two less than great experiences. The first time we arrived at 520 on a Saturday to a completely empty indoor area and a mostly empty rooftop. The host asked if we had a reservation (we did not but there were only two of us). After a lot of deliberation, a discussion with the manager, and a somewhat off-putting question about how long we would take, it was explained to us that they had a LOT of reservations for 530 but they could squeeze us in. We thanked them, enjoyed a beer and two appetizers and left in under an hour. There were only two tables seated in the whole place when we left at 615. I tried again tonight with two friends. We were again made to feel less than welcome by the host, who pointed out that we were late for our reservation (we had to stand in a line of at least 6 people just to check in). He made it very clear that he was doing us a favor by seating us outside even though we said we were fine with an indoor table. Our waitress was frantic and harried the entire time. Everything took a very long time to arrive, and the sliders were greasy and just okay. The oddest part of the night, however, was when we were informed bluntly at 930 that they were closed and we needed to leave. 930. On a Friday night. I’m sorry to say I don’t think I’ll be in a hurry to return. The view is great but not worth all that unfortunately.

    The rooftop was nice. Unfortunately, the food was not good. The drinks were crafty but couldn't taste any alcohol. Appetizers and drinks definitely not worth $98. The only positive thing was our server was amazing. She was fast and accommodating.

    This place is amazing. Cannot believe it was 1/2 full on a holiday weekend. Not only does this rooftop have the most glorious views it has the most amazing heating lanterns and fire pits for when the sunsets. The hotel it nicer and more updated then the Renaissance Hotel downtown on the Chicago river and the rooftop view was spectacular. Going back for our next girls weekend!!

    The hostess (Ashley) and server (Leigha) both get 5 stars for customer service and accommodating our group. Truly the best part of the entire night. The food is unique and very tasty. Enjoyed that immensely. This is where the 4-star rating drops quickly. The food, though sold as a tapas style, was to a point. Tiny menu, few options, not good if you have seafood allergies or are a vegetarian. And the price is way over the top for what you do get. It has the luxury hotel downtown water view tax applied. So get ready to drop a buck or two for this experience.

    So I had been excited to go to the roof top for the experience since I am a Rockford resident me and my husband wanted to see the renovation. We ordered some drinks those were really good and a few appetizers. The food was just ok, I expected a little better than what it was . The drinks were on the expensive side and since were in a pandemic I would not say not worth it . We had 3 appetizers and a few drinks and our bill was 176.00 . I wouldn’t go back any time soon. Would only recommend the drinks for people that can afford it.

    Everything was very good. The only complaint that I have is that when the check was presented I was not made aware that gratuity was added to our party. There were 7 of us. and then at the bottom of a check that already has gratuity added it gives a suggestion as of how much to tip to be at 15% - 18% or 20% gratuity. It may have said gratuity was included on the menu, but the server or manager should also make you aware when the check is presented. Kind of a sleazy way to try and get 2X gratuity.

    We have always had a great experience here. The only concern we have is the lighting in the INSIDE Rooftop Bar. The lighting needs to be more subdued and “loungey” like!! Perhaps dimmers could be installed and use light bulbs with lower kelvin. We love the whole Embassy Suites Hotel and Top Bar and restaurant. We will be back soon!!

    Rockford’s first rooftop bar is amazing! Terrific views of the downtown Rockford area in a high end setting. Good and service were great! Only downside, the swarms of gnats marred our dining outside experience.
