    I like this place for the drinks. The rooftop is super fun in the summer so I decided to give it a try for dinner. I ordered the southwest chicken salad. The price was $19.95. I expected an "entree" size salad, what showed up was small side salad. I also asked the server to not have olives in the salad, he forgot (totally normal) but annoying nonetheless. We went here as a pre-show dinner, it was very loud and busy, feels like more of a Happy Hour spot instead of a dinner spot. Overall, I would not choose this place for dinner. We ended up ordering small plates after our salads because we were still hungry, and they were good.

    Food was delicious. Service was fast and efficient. Ambience was fantastic and the music was excellent. Great crowd. A bit noisy but didn't mind it at all.

    Everything was great except there were too many people in the bar area so they were very close to my table. Plus servers had to carry food over our heads to get by due to the crowds. But other than that it was a good experience.
