    It was overall disappointing because we expected to sit outside and instead sat inside. It was very noisy inside between guests conversations and loud music. Menu was very limited, I understood small plates, but still it should have some basic items, did not see one thing that I would order, we left.

    Everything was beautiful about this place. The server Sophia was the kindest and we never had to worry about our drinks or needing anything. Went for Valentine’s Day and the only complaint I have for their special menu for Valentine’s Day is that they wouldn’t substitute for my girlfriends shellfish allergy so we had to just order from the basic menu. But! Everything we ate and drank was phenomenal

    This is NOT a restaurant! It’s a cocktail lounge with small plates. VERY expensive ($300) with all the small plates we had to order to have it pass for dinner. The venue should not be on Open Table.

    Very nice server and beautiful view, but I was a little disappointed with the clothing by some of the other guests…21/22 year olds in baseball caps, baggy jeans, faded/dingy tee shirts, etc. Normally I wouldn’t care, but we were turned away 2 months ago for our attire, because I was wearing loafers with shorts, but very dressy shorts and a button down shirt as we had just come from Boulon. I find it a little odd! Furthermore, why did 2 well dressed couples in their 40’s have to put a card on file? We’re 27 floors up, and what, are we a risk for ditching on the bill? We’ll definitely be back, just want to voice some concern/frustration. You guys want an upscale image, it should be consistent!

    Food and drinks are a bit pricey however I guess you’re paying for this awesome ambience and vibe of the place. The rooftop deck and the view of Tampa is amazing.
