The hostess and waitress were friendly and prompt. I requested a table with a view and we got one. Nice decor, good atmosphere. The menu selection was limited and there was no vegan option for me. The waitress spoke with the chef and he cobbled together something for me that had good flavor, but I had no idea was I was getting until it was served. My girlfriend's steak was a little tough (she struggled to cut it). Overall a good experience; a vegan option on the menu would be appreciated.

The rooftop setting is beautiful and the service was friendly, but unfortunately the food was disappointing. We ordered fried chicken and were told only after ordering, around 7:30 PM on a relatively quiet evening, that the kitchen had just one order left, so two people in our group had to choose something else. The chicken that did arrive had very little meat and was mostly fried bone. The steak was also extremely salty and heavily seasoned to the point that it overwhelmed the meat. The staff were kind, so my lower rating is really about the food quality, kitchen availability, and value. Given the setting and prices, I expected a much better meal.

Really great experience here! The food was exquisite, the views were beautiful, and I had one of the best drinks I've ever tasted (I think it was called "the pink pony club"). Highly recommended!

We have dined here before and enjoyed the food and atmosphere. Last night it was very noisy and felt like we were eating at a bar rather than a restaurant. The food was good but my duck was too salty and left me feeling sick afterwards. For the price I was disappointed. The service was good.
