Manager great checked on us, Busboy great as well. Actual waitress unfortunately mediocre (took our utensils and we had to ask for new ones when our entre came). Took my plate (empty) without asking while my wife was still eating (we were sharing). Other waiters/waitress were doing a good job from what we observed and engaged with their customers. Ours was not welcoming, just going through the motions. Wish we had gone to steak 48 or Del frisco. This place seems good for a business dinner but was a bad choice for a romantic evening. Take our feedback for what it’s worth to improve the restaurant for others. Thank you.

We had the omakase and it was incredible. Definitely a true omakase. The food was so unique and we enjoyed everything! The staff was also very attentive and welcoming. The sushi chef and his sous chef were friendly and really made the night.

We dined there on December 16th for my husband’s birthday and Carly was our server. She helped us choose all the best dishes and we thoroughly enjoyed our dinner. She even brought out a birthday dessert, and her exceptional attentiveness and service was the cherry on top. Thank you Hestia rooftop and Carly for an amazing experience!

The food at Hestia is amazing. The ambiance is usually amazing. It’s a beautiful place and the waiters/staff are always so nice. However, it’s a hit or miss when it comes to the dining experience. I rarely leave reviews but need to this time. We sat in the main dining room and my husband waited 47 minutes to get a glass of wine. The rest of the follow up drinks were very slow to come as well. I flagged down one of the management team and told them he still didn’t have his drink after 45 min. and he left to look into it and it took 10 more minutes and then when it came out- they had under poured it. He placed my wine next to his, he definitely was under poured. We immediately ordered our second glasses and that glass looked more normal. Our very expensive steaks came out and I had to go to the hostess stand or asks for knives bc we only had forks and I couldn’t find a waiter to help me. My son had sushi as an entree and it didn’t come out until everyone was finished with their main courses. By then he had picked at our plates for so long he was no longer hungry. They did comp his sushi roll- which was nice. My impression is that the bar and waitstaff was very short staffed. They had sat up a bunch of extra little tables - that we were sat at, to increase their holiday volume- which they obviously weren’t staffed to handle. I don’t think we’ll be back. I’ve had a couple misses with them and at that price point. There are other places in town.
Hestia RooftopResponded on 15 December 2024
We sincerely apologize for not providing you with the exceptional service you deserve on Friday. We clearly fell short of the high standards we expect from our team. While we weren't experiencing staffing issues that evening, it was an off night for one of our newer servers. We’ve since used your feedback to sit down with her and discuss areas for improvement. We did address the sushi issue for you, but I regret that we didn’t do enough to fully make things right and regain your trust. We genuinely value feedback from our guests as it helps us avoid repeating mistakes and continually improve. We hope you won’t let this one experience discourage you from returning. Thank you and happy holidays.
