    Food was delicious. View was nice. Music was great but too loud for conversation. Service was unacceptable. Even though I had made reservations and asked not to be seated in direct sun, that’s exactly where we were seated, without explanation or apology. We tried to stick it out, but it was miserable, so we asked to be moved. They did move us and then we were ignored for 25 minutes! After we finally gave our order, entrees were delivered with appetizers and 2 sides were never delivered at all. It would have been a lovely experience had the service been more reliable. We well Tru you’re right but still left a 20% tip, but were disappointed in the service for a high end restaurant.

    Great food, great service, fantastic cocktails, and a amazing view from the rooftop. When in DTLA this should be a destination you choose.

    The food was good but not worth the price. Overly expensive, paying for the view basically!

    This was such a great experience. The views are some of the best downtown LA has to offer. The food was delicious. We had the piri piri fried chicken, French fries, crab claw pasta and the grilled branzino. Everything was fresh and seasoned well. The wait staff was pleasant and super friendly. Shoutout to Victor and Victoria. Will definitely recommend and plan on returning.

    Our server, I believe Frankie, was the best! He was very attentive! Made our dinner experience there memorable. The braised wagyu brisket tacos were to die for! I will be going back just for those! I can’t believe we’ve never been here despite being a LA native.

    Great customer service, the receptionist was kind to add a extra guest to our party even though we didn’t book a extra guest. She didn’t have to and could have said no, but yeah. Thanks for the great service!!!

    We have been here twice and the hostess upstairs kind of ruined the night for us each time. No need to be rude.
