Met some friends here for dinner. A really nice space in the building terrace. Comfortable seating and heaters for those cooler days. I ordered their plant based burger and it was good. I really liked the fries. My wife got the shrimp tacos and she liked those as well. The salmon came topped with pesto of pesto and was prepared very well. My wife got a piece of the mastic in her drink. Looked like a lid of some kind. They comped the drink but they should have done more. The biggest issue was it took a long time to get our food and the place was pretty empty. I think the kitchen probably does room service for the hotel. It’s the only reason I can think of why it took so long. We were in our way to catch a flight and made it quite tight time wise. Not sure I would go back.

Food was good other than one end of my hanger steak was super tough. It was cooked correctly from what I could tell but it was very hard to cut and tough to eat. I left that side alone. Other than that, the rest of the food was good. The tepanade was exceptional, needed more bread to accompany it. The service was super slow. The waiter was a little slow to take our order, but getting anything from drinks to food took ages. I would guesstimate over 10 minutes for our drinks and over 30 minutes before our appetizers came out. Shortly after that, our entrées came out. It wasn't busy and looked like they had enough staff. Ambiance was decent. A small rooftop on a downtown hotel a few stories up.

Beautiful rooftop setting up on the 2nd floor. Great views. We only ordered drinks and appetizers (brussel sprouts, cheese and charcuterie, and shrimp tacos) - but the food was excellent. Great music and fun vibe.

This is quite the experience we had a reservation at 5:15 we didn’t get to sit at our table till seven the service was extremely slow our drinks never got refilled and our food was over done and also burn but that didn’t matter I don’t think I’m particular becoming back to this establishment due to the poor service in the quality of the food we had to eat the scenery was nice it was extremely cold but it was nice the cabanas were lovely I was just expecting more

Brussel Sprouts and service was good. Drinks were ok, the Apple Pie drink didn’t taste like apple pie. Ordered the burger and fries. Burger is a pre shaped patty lacking flavor and the fries are from frozen. Cool place to drink and hang out, but I’d never intentionally eat here again

I was so disappointed. First of all I made a reservation for dinner for myself and my partner prior to showing up. We get there and the hotel reception greet us but we're there for dinner so we just head up to the terrace. Much to my surprise there was a private event being held there. So we go back downstairs all confused because nobody from the actual restaurant tried to stop us. We looked for someone who monitors the restaurant but didn't see anybody so we went back to the front desk who was very kind. The gentleman walks us over to this "bro" dressed in all black chatting it up at the bar, and tells him that we're here for dinner. The "bro" man in black takes us over to the tables 10 feet away from the bar and was basically like take your pick. It was tacky. The service was blah. Drinks were over priced and watered down, and the food was average. I had the short rib which came out warm not even actually. We went to the Rabbit Hole afterwards for better drinks, food, and trivia.

If you expect a rooftop this is NOT it. It literally is a terrace and limited food menu. The reason this is a one star is because we were celebrating my friends birthday and I had brought a cake to celebrate. They were nice enough to store it for me while we ate. The waitress was very adamant if we wanted the cake now. Never did I agree or want for anyone to cut it for us. I get the bill and she charged me $20 for "cutting cake" I have never experienced anything like this. What if I wanted to take a picture with my friend cutting her cake. Not recommending this place for sure.

Good experience. Service was good. Habanero wings is not spicy for us spice lovers but well seasoned.
