    We have been there a couple of times during our hotel stay. Everything about it was very good. Service and food and cocktails. I would recommend it if staying in town.

    It was our first time to Kennedy Rooftop. First, the space and view is stunning. Second, the ambiance was inviting and bright. The food was flavorful and super well priced. The drinks were TOP TIER. I had about 17 Salty Sidewalk’s - and I’m someone who usually jumps around cocktails. It was one of the best drinks I’ve ever had. We had a group of 6. We would all go back.

    We went to brunch for the food and experience. Let’s bed both! We were super impressed and loved the atmosphere. The live music was great! They had a steel drummer and it was the perfect vibe! The mini Chicago dog on the Bloody Mary WOW. 5 stars!!

    the medallions were a bit overcooked and the cocktails weren’t our favorite, but the view is amazing and the staff is kind. Don’t know that I’ll be back but I enjoyed my time.

    The staff couldn't be anymore helpful to making our night so special ! They went above and beyond as I proposed at the restraunt. I will happily eat there again. The noise level is super quiet I couldn't hear anybodies conversation and the music had so much varsity to you. Food was fabulous and so favorable!

    Our bar tender, Nicole, was excellent! Food was decent. I just wish they had heaters for the outdoor experience since it was chilly outside.

    The ambiance was nothing like advertised. Food options were ok…drinks extremely pricey and we asked for a specific vodka but received something else. Our server was great and was the best experience!
