Was just ok. Hostess was sure to say there is a strict 2 hour time limit when we sat down. Not welcoming. Made us feel rushed. Especially odd considering that our group had a reservation, and it was 3pm the slowest part of the day. Server was very nice, although one person’s entree didn’t come out until 10 minutes after everyone else’s did. Food quality and flavor was just ok. Nothing to remember. Nice ambiance. Noise level was ok, but it was not a busy time of day. Not shockingly expensive, but overpriced. $30 for two smallish unremarkable crab cakes.

Staff were extremely nice and accommodating. The food was pretty good, we didn’t have any issues. Crispy cauliflower and crab cake was A1! I’d definitely come back

Love the food but the dessert needs an upgrade. Also there seems to be issues with tips. I don’t appreciate the 20% tip automatically added to my bill. It’s needs to be up to the customer not the restaurant.

We probably ordered half or more than half of everything on the menu and every single thing was absolutely delicious! The service was also wonderful and it was great for a large loud group.

We visit Rooftop at least once per month and it’s always great. I’m so depressed that they aren’t making the scallop plate anymore though. It was the best one around. I still love visiting the rooftop though.

First time there. 3 of the 4 plates on time. 4th late and undercooked. RT did the right thing and comp’ed the 4th meal. Overall very good and would try again. What came on time was great and service staff were professional and friendly. Gratuity was automatically added and server informed us of that when he presented the check.

The staff is great. The food was very good. It was just really loud and our table was near an open door, which made it extremely windy.
