    Manager quite rude and disrespectful. After spending $400 basically told us to leave because of an other booking and made no effort to extend our stay.

    Great place for the views. Optimal location to multiple offices. Cocktails were delicious and the arugula flatbread was delicious. I would have ordered more food and drinks but the service wasn’t a match. When my party of 2 first got there we felt rushed order and as soon as I ordered, the waiter grabbed both our menus, or giving my friend to add anything additional and before we even finished our last bites, the buser tried to grab it away from us without asking. By the time someone different came over to ask us if we wanted anything else, we were ok not to spend any more. Even with that though, I would give this place another try with a different server to see if the experience would be different because the cocktails and view.

    The rooftop has beautiful views and comfortable seating. Food and drinks are surprisingly good. Usually bar food is not the greatest but here you can actually enjoy a meal.

    You get placed right next to folks and they can be loud so be aware of that. But food was great and possibly the best rooftop view I’ve seen

    Beautiful views, food was meh, drinks aregood but pricey, $20, service was really odd, maybe it's a hip vibe, but all that being said, the views are spectacular, totally worth having a drink and enjoying the cityscape!
