We had a lovely visit to the rooftop of Hilton where this restaurant is located. It's mostly bar snacks, and drinks. The staff were awesome and friendly and everything we had was great. The tables aren't covered so not always rain safe, but at the bar itself it's covered, and they do have a handful of sun umbrellas that can block a light rain. The view of the church next door is really great, and they also had a DJ until 9pm.
