    Cool setup and views. The service was terrible and bland. They forgot to put in my food so my order finally came out when everyone was done. They were not busy.

    The Christmas decor is not what it used to be nor what is advertised on the website. Ordered the boozy hot chocolate and it was delivered at same time as the bill and was cold. The food was also cold and average at best. Overall, what used to be a great brunch has turned into a really poor experience.

    Had a reservation and was seated promptly. Service wasn’t great- slow and did not return many times to check in. Forgot one of the items we ordered. Food was average for the value. Would only come here for drinks in the future. Ambiance was cool

    So disappointed. We have gone here for years and loved everything! However, today…the pancakes are no longer pink, there were no decorations (not even for Christmas), they had most of the dining rooms shut off, and our waitress maybe came to our table twice. So unfortunate. And pastry basket was hard and dry,

    Im Sommer vielleicht ganz nett. Personal am Einlass macht einen riesen Affen wegen nichts. Da ist jeden bar im EG besser. Essen Fehlanzeige

    Went here for my birthday. Called the night before and asked about the indoor and outdoor of the rooftop, they said both were open and seating would depend on availability, they also said there is a DJ. We got there, they sat us in a dark corner behind the bar, the dj was on the other side of the whole rooftop and the music was very distant. We were 5 people and got squished in a corner table meant for 3-4 people. When we expressed that we werent happy with our seats due to the comfort, ambiance, and the fact that we were so far from everyone else to the hostess, she said theres nothing she can do except bring us an extra little LED candle for the table. We pointed to seats that were empty that we would be much happier with and she said they were all reserved (I had a reservation as well and was told you cannot reserve where exactly you would like to sit) The hostess was not helpful or friendly, the server was not attentive and we were overall very unhappy. We ordered 1 drink and booked skylark rooftop 5 mins away while we were there and just left. Looks nothing like pictures, extremely underwhelming, save your time go somewhere else.

    I have been here many times and always had an amazing time except for last night. No seasonal decorations no seasonal cocktails and the side with the carousels closed.
