While the food was tasty it was overall too salty— everything that we were served was like this. Service was good, ambiance and lighting good, decor great!

We had a reservation at 11 am. We showed up and no one was there!!! The cooks and wait staff didn’t bother to show up! It was horrible! They said they were running late. By 11:15 we just left

The rooftop setting is lovely especially at sunset. We went on a Friday. There was a band playing street level that you could hear from the rooftop - wasn’t our genre. Later, there was jazz on the roof which we enjoyed but it could interfere with conversation. Food was uneven. The crab appetizer was yummy as were pizza and burger. Salad and pasta just OK. Margarita was good. Service was uneven. Our server was very rushed and forgot items (had to ask twice for a beer ordered after meal was served and finally got it at the bar) and left us unattended. Think he was covering too many tables and just needed to slow down a bit. Did not inform us that 20% is automatically added to bill but we noticed it. Despite that, it’s a great spot for a drink and apps, pizza to share. As our friend said, it doesn’t feel like DC, more like Miami.

The spicy pasta was great, and the salmon cooked perfect. The pool was busy and looked fun, they also had live music!

We have been waiting to visit this rooftop all summer. It is a little oasis in the sky. We were able to take advantage of the Happy Hour menu and loved the sweet potato fries and tuna tartare. The drinks were also very refreshing. Most of all Octavia (the General Manager) ensures the Best Customer Service Experience. She also informed us that there will be Live Music every Thursday-Saturday nights. We will surely return.

The view & the staff are unbeatable! The new management (Octavia and Kim) have excellent service and are willing to accommodate (if they can!). Chef Rodrick makes an amazing Cesar salad and pepperoni pizza. I’ve never been disappointed with any food or drink I’ve ever gotten. It’s pricey but it’s worth it for the ambiance! Since mid-May there has been a lot more staff so timing has gotten better (if you saw previous reviews). There are definitely kinks to work out (re pool membership) but that is the responsibility of the pool not the Mina Group.

I was excited to check out City Ridge since I live in the area, and made a reservation for an early Friday night dinner. The view is gorgeous, but I was mostly disappointed by the rest of my experience. It took close to 30 minutes for my cocktail arrive (after being told they were out of Prosecco, I was given a pretty bland non-alc option which I sent back). I ordered a soda then the waiter returned with the original Prosecco cocktail they didn’t have. I ordered the salmon BLT, which would’ve been great if the salmon had a bit more flavor. The fries were good! The place wasn’t full so I’m unsure if they were just understaffed, but def don’t be in a rush if you visit.

We went here on recommendations and ordered drinks nothing after 4o minutes they apologized but nothing. After 45 minutes we walked out and told the bartender we are leaving. The place was not busy. I have never walked out of a restaurant before. I don’t know how they will stay in business. The servers were nice but there is no service.

Food was expensive for average quality. We had pizza. The margarita type was very salty, the mushroom was better. Service was very good, and our server was wonderful.
