   Great view, very noisy. Bad acoustics. We were seated in a quiet spot, so grateful for that. Wonderful burrata dish. But limited menu. Had to go elsewhere for dinner. Celebrating two bdays and got two free glasses of champagne, so that was nice. Service was great. Just disappointed in the menu and the ambiance and noise.

   Service is awful and slow. Unprofessional. Food arrived before drinks (both super late) and food was cold.

   Huge bust, I love this place during the summer. This weird DJ setup you had going for St Patty's was awful and you really squandered this beautiful rooftop you have. No offense to anyone -- you were all at least respectful and made the two drinks we ordered in a fast manner and they were good but wow was the atmosphere a complete let down. There is no way I could enjoy a meal with that obnoxious loud music and I'm someone who goes to EDM concerts and raves. What was that? And really playing that for a dinner reservation? If you're going to do something like this to your event space perhaps just do a St. Patty's wristband or some other type of reservation so patron's accustomed to your usual dining experience won't be let down.

   My server was great. The people who work there are awesome, but the menu is not the best. I got the Asian slaw salad with a fried chicken cutlet on top and the cutlet had no flavor or seasoning, just sauce. and the salad tasted like it came from a bag. My friend got the tuna Tartar nachos, and it just generally was not great. The drinks were fine!

   The food was pretty good. The server was very nice and attentive. It wasnt tio crowded or noisy, so that was nice. It was also warm and cozy inside. We were there for brunch. All of us ordered the cinnamon french toast and it tasted better than I expected but it wasn't that warm. We also asked for butter and they brought out rock hard butter packs that we were supposed to spread on luke warm french toast. Our server did bring melted butter after we explained the situation. It wasn't her fault. Overall, it was a nice brunch in a nice atmosphere.

    Beautiful spot! Elevated bar food that was a bit pricey for the quality of the food. Music was to loud for the dinner hour, Overall a good experience!
