It is a very cute and secluded rooftop bar, very chill compared to the area that it’s in & the hotel is gorgeous. We tried to dine for happy hour, & even though we arrived during that time & the menu had food options our server let us know the kitchen was closed. Once the kitchen reopened it was a completely different menu with a severe up-charge which was disappointing since we chose that place for pricing.

Indifferent wait staff kinda forgot about us. Doesn't actually have live entertainment like claimed. Food was pretty cold because they brought it over from the Drexel (which has good food!). Drinks were served in plasticware. Tries to sell itself as a cool Miami rooftop vibe but much more effort is needed and if you're going to charge that much for food it needs to be not cold.

No entiendo que sucedió pero cuando llegamos realmente no nos esperaban. Estaban cambiando muebles de lugar, no había clientes en toda la terraza, no nos dieron la bienvenida ni ninguna atención. Dijeron que volviéramos más tarde que estarían listos, pero… ¡teníamos una reserva 8:15 pm! Obvianente nos fuimos de ahí, ni caso nos hicieron.

We had a 7pm reservation. When we arrived at the restaurant there was a private party and we weren’t allowed to enter. We weren’t given a notification of this and had to make last minute changes for our evening.

We had a great time at the roof! We didn’t have any food but enjoyed having cocktails in their nice lounge. We loved the open air lounge and our drinks were great.

We had a great time at the roof at Esme. The drinks were great. We went on Super Bowl Sunday and it was pretty empty. Very cool place.

Good service but unfortunately they over charged and then insisted it was on purpose because they wanted more tip than the 5% I had added to the 20% they had added

Me and a friend came here during our trip to Miami for a gymshark event. We were pleasantly surprised by the ambiance and welcoming nature of The roof. Our server was very attentive and even brought my friend a birthday drink.

Had a great time. I think they were having an event when I went but it was absolutely great. Drinks were amazing and the music was very high energy. I will definitely go back.
