    The food was top tier and the service was great - unobtrusive and anticipative which is what I’m always looking for. I would DEFINITELY order the artichoke, amazing dish, and the chicken sandwich is really great as well. I like that they used chicken thigh instead of breast for the sandwich, gave it a way juicier flavor. The Brussels sprouts also have this incredible flavor with Mediterranean nut mix on top. The food quality paired with the view is unmatched.

    The rooftop has much potential to be an amazing rooftop with great atmosphere and great experience for all… however my experience was terrible. was recommended by a local who frequents often and the server was quite rude. she would cut us off, treat us as if we were in her way or bothering her. we were very polite and sweet. once we ordered our drinks, we tried to ask questions about the place and the menu and she stormed off as if she couldn’t tell us anything. the drinks were good & it was pretty empty on a saturday evening. the place is probably empty because service was terrible. i would never come back to spend my money here after the way we were treated. management needs to do something about Vanessa and her attitude towards customers, especially ones who actually tip well. i will never spend my money here again. plenty of other rooftops to go to to spend your money & they will appreciate it.

    We had such a wonderful time at The Rooftop Bar. Ruth was incredibly kind, attentive, and a wonderful server. All cocktails were unique, crafted perfectly and the atmosphere is dreamy. We had the best afternoon, thank you so much!

    If I could give them zero stars for service I would! Extremely rude waitress named Vanessa, she snatched the payment machine as soon as I paid and tipped. She walked away while we were talking to her and was just over all UNPLEASANT! The drink tasted like baby powder and the music wasn’t appealing. Even leaving the restaurant was horrible as the hostess did nothing to keep entry ways clear to allow patrons to exit. Would not recommend unless you want your hard earned money wasted on poor distasteful service in a underwhelming environment.
