I don’t leave many reviews but…this is an exception. Nowhere to park so used the valet, but no valet person was there. Just a woman standing at the valet booth and when asked if they’re doing valet, her response was “yeah”. That’s it. Only one person running cars, so had to wait 10min. When we got to the restaurant on the 11th floor we were seated and then left for 30min, no one came to the table. Eventually we got water and a menu and another 20min went by. We were laughing because looking around everyone in our section was out of drinks and water We finally ordered an appetizer and a table next to use, who just sat down about 10 min, prior got their food before us. About 30 min later the waitress came by their table, picked up their food, brought it to our table, and then said it was a mistake and that they hadn’t touched it yet. Turns out, the other table had to track down a worker to tell them that it wasn’t their food. The waitress never came to their table. Can’t make this up We ran out of drinks and water about 3 times. The table next to us was getting irritated they couldn’t close out their bill. After about 20min of waiting, the man got up and tracked someone down to tell them they wanted to pay their bill and leave. We finally were able to get out of there 2.5 hrs later. Back to the valet to get our car and had to wait 10 min for the poor kid working his butt off. Gave him a $20 tip. Poor service, poor attitude from the Valet woman, not worth the $160 bill. Shout out to Justin, the valet guy running cars who apparently was the only one working.

Our experience was unique in that immediately after we got our drinks and gave our food order, the fire alarm went off and we had to take the stairs from the roof to the ground floor (11 stories in heels). The fire department came and confirmed it was a false alarm then we went back upstairs. Sadly, for some reason, the kitchen had to close because of the alarm going off and even cold items like the charcuterie weren’t available for purchase which was unfortunate. They never turned the music back on so the ambiance did suffer a bit but we will likely go back in hopes of getting the full experience.

Dear Teaira, Thank you so much for choosing us. I apologize sincerely for the issue with the fire alarm. We hope you understand that this was not a normal circumstance. I am very sorry that it negatively impacted your evening. We would be honored to host you again for a top-notch meal! Sincerely, Restaurant Management

We planned on dinner at High Bar. The food was excellent, but there are very few regular tables to comfortably sit and eat. Most seating is lower tables that are good for cocktails but not for eating.

Great place to grab a cocktail with friends or date night! The food was awesome. I ordered the fried chicken sandwich & my husband had the burger which was great also. Our server was very attentive & gave great service. I would definitely dine there again!

I liked High Bar. The ambiance was great. It wasn’t too loud and there was a good selection of food. The cocktail menu was extensive. The wine list not so much. The service was a little slow, but the place was crowded and it is new and I feel as if they are working out the kinks. Valet parking is a joke. Don’t do it!

It’s new. Lots of staff but very slow and food was not at par with the elevated ambiance. Hopefully food, service and ambiance will align soon.
