Amazing food, excellent service. Unusual setting with views out over downtown and the distant hills. Comfortable temperature with the clear plastic awning down over the glass "balcony rail". (February). A gem!

I had a great time but the heater made my husband super hot. We didn’t know that they wasn’t serving the full menu.

We loved our time at Rooftop. It was our first time and was pleasantly surprised. We loved our appetizers especially the Burrata and the dumplings. Very tasty. The calamari although also tasty could have better batter. It was a little thick. We tried all the entries. My husband especially enjoyed the surf and turf. We also loved the ravioli with mushroom and the salmon that I ordered was perfect. My bro in law enjoyed his order if the short ribs. All gone!! Dessert was great too. We had the butter cake and the lava cake.

I took my lady to an early valentine's date. Rainy night! Street parking is challenging, you have to use the parking garage, not too far away. When we got there the hostess set us up at a window seat which was nice except for the fact that it was storming out and the roof leaked right by our table LOL! The service staff was there in an instant and moved us accordingly. The ambiance was warm, fun, and the place is lively! And a bit loud. But the experience was worth it! Overall, we had a great time; the service was excellent, the waiter was knowledgeable-friendly and efficient (Nick). And the food was excellent! I was really delighted cus you just don't get that at many restaurants these days. I had the short ribs that were done perfectly on a bed of with ornately placed vegetables and creamy mashed potatoes. My date had a bowl of steamers and mussels with a flavorful broth, and it was sprinkled with fries...great touch! Our wine choice was their Cote du Rhone red which paired very well with the short ribs. For dessert we had their warmed chocolate cake with gelato, it was great. We will not hesitate to come back.

It's a roof top venue. They had heaters however they automatically shut off about 30 minutes into our lunch on a 55-degree day. As the venue filled with customers, our server was stretched thin, and we waited for some time to ask for the check. The food was meh, prices a bit high. This will probably be a pass for me in the future as there are other venues with better food and service.
