Reservations are one hour and 15 minutes, and each guest will receive a complimentary 80s themed cocktail to go with their experience. The karaoke space is shared, so general reservations might be paired with others to enjoy the experience together.

    Our waiter was very good. The food and the experience were the problems. The restaurant was not decorated very well for Christmas. Which was disappointing from the videos we saw of the restaurant. The food, we order sharable sliders. We received 2 sliders. They did not come as described on the menu. We ordered the Italian charcuterie. There were a good amount of cheese, not much meat and absolutely did not have enough crackers or a variety of crackers. We were given 6 to 8 crackers that were bland and stale like. It was a very disappointing experience.

    The initial excitement of visiting this “rooftop” bar was quickly diminished when we arrived - zero signage to indicate this is indeed “beast & butterflies” other than a very simple piece of paper when entering the building - when arriving we were waiting 15 minutes despite it being quiet before we were shown to a seat. My partner ordered a pint of peroni, which arrived flat, without a head and just not at all as it should be, when sending it back the waiter suggested he go for something else as it’s definitely as it should be for a beer (strongly disagree) and he ordered a bottle of corona - we had been given and finished our food by the time someone came over to ask him “you ordered a Stella right?” We requested they leave it as we had now finished eating - I should add at this time we were still waiting on a glass of water also and it was still quiet, only 1/4 of the tables filled and just an overall disappointing experience. Not what we hoped for - we paid the bill and left soon after.

    Service was terrible, food is just lounge food. We had no view, because it was cold so no outdoor seating, and we had a table on the inside of the table plan. Service was unacceptable from the host to the server.

    Unfortunately we were very disappointed by the lack of service we received. It took between 20-30 minutes to get seated even though we had a reservation and then once seated no one ever came and waited on us. The outstanding part of this establishment is the view but the lack of effort was blinding when it came to taking care of your clientele. When we got up to leave the table next to us commented and said “really good decision.” We had such high hopes but will not be back.

    Food was good, I feel a slightly larger selection would be great. Our waiter did not come to our table to check on us, we had to ask for a refill on our drinks, other staff when we tried to check in, pushed us off on 4 other people. Ambience was great, view is outstanding, food I feel could have other options.

    Food was nice, but people were cramped in next to each other at the tables. There was no signage to indicate the bar as it was next to the check in area.

    We had to hunt down a host. We even had to go to the hotels front desk to ask where we could find someone, as we walked all through the restaurant and no one ever greeted us. After we tracked someone down, we told them we had a reservation, but we wanted to get drinks on the rooftop patio. He never asked our name just told us we have to get our drinks from the bar then we can go outside. So that’s what we did. We were never offered the table we reserved. We were never really acknowledged. It wasn’t a great experience and we all left feeling like we made a poor choice in rooftop bar experiences. We were never even given a menu to order from. They could have made a lot of money from us last night, but instead we all had one drink and decided to go elsewhere.
