    Was a very nice rooftop with a beautiful view, however the flatbread and pretzel appetizers were not the best. Pretzels were old and hard. Flatbread was pretty much a small pizza. But otherwise everything else was great. I would go again.

    I kept asking for things they never brought me, ordered a Caesar salad and asked for extra dressing for it, never received it, asked for clean folks , never got it, asked for straws , had to ask 3 different people, asked for new water, waiter got mad about it, snatched the waters and poured them over the balcony and then went to talk to original waiter I asked for the straws, original waiter was kind of rude about me trying to get her attention . The place was nice but to deal with not getting the stuff I asked for in a timely matter and not at all made me not like the place as much. The drinks were ok.

    The view is amazing! The food was delicious I had the salmon with angel pasta best salmon dish I had. My husband got the burger and he said it was very good. Only thing I would say is I wish the tables were a bit bigger and the chairs a little shorter I’m a little person it was hard for me to hop on them chairs lol. Other than that I’ll def be going back again. So good.

    The view was beautiful it’s a nice comfortable set up but the food is over priced bar food it’s like they don’t know if they want to offer the five star experience or dive bar pick a side please also they did not have a lot to choose from the menu was very limited The service was sub par our waitress was serving us and working the bar Overall I would go again but only for drinks I’ll probably eat somewhere else
