    The food menu was extremely lacking. The drinks were very overpriced. And your view was of the apartment complex high-rise next-door.

    Great rooftop view. Nice chill vibe from the DJ too! Slight room for improvement is that the downstairs bar had better spirit selections than the rooftop.

    Beautiful roof top bar, a great place to grab a drink with some out of town folks. However, the food was terrible. They do not serve meals here, just small plates. We ended up returning the Prime Rib Sliders because they were terribly dry. We told the waiter and he said “we get that a lot”. If that’s a common comment you get on one of the most expensive dishes on the menu, I would think they would’ve fixed it by now. It shows an overall lack of care about the quality of the food.

    The service was impeccable. We had reservations for inside but they were able to move us outside. Thanks to Leliana! The chips and ranch dope was amazing. The chips were cooked perfect and not over salted. The Mediterranean trio was surprising. The combo of the three dips with pita and fresh veggies went paired perfectly. The view is amazing and in a great position, definitely worth the elevator ride up!
