    This was my second time eating here and I think the scratch made kitchen makes all the difference. The food is delicious. Everyone always likes their meal and wants to take home their leftovers. The atmosphere is so enjoyable.

    First time eating there in many years. Service was impeccable and the wait staff were on it, we went at an earlier time so not a lot of patrons yet. My only complaint was my filet was a tad overcooked and a little stringy.

    We dined there on December 16th for my husband’s birthday and Carly was our server. She helped us choose all the best dishes and we thoroughly enjoyed our dinner. She even brought out a birthday dessert, and her exceptional attentiveness and service was the cherry on top. Thank you Hestia rooftop and Carly for an amazing experience!

    We always get the roasted chicken, avocado, dates etc. salad. It is such a delicious salad with a creamy bacon dressing!! Service is fantastic, too. The manager comes to check on things, too. They really care about your experience at their restaurant. I highly recommend it.
