    Great overall However, I’ve made a reservation to secure a table. I had been charged 10$ per person. It was written it should be refundable if I show up. I did show up but refunds was not an option. It’s not acceptable when you pay that long of check at the end !! I’m disappointed because otherwise this rooftop is very cool, the food and service is great ! But 30$ + the total check is not acceptable

    We made a reservation in the room by the bar for 10 girls to celebrate my daughter's 21st birthday, the staff was INCREDIBLE! We brought a cake before and they held for us. The food was wonderful, the ambience perfect and the staff went above and BEYOND.

    We were greeted with champagne toast for our 30th anniversary! This rooftop bar is just a block from the Orpheum Theatre! Our host Jose was amazing!

    The drinks and the menu are so much fun to explore. Along with it's stellar views Charmaine's has built a great evening city experience. PLEASE organize the serving staff though, our drinks were so haphazard on arrival well after our food arrived. We would have gladly had a second round if it wasn't for the chaotic service. Bad night? Maybe. I'll still go back to see, everyone deserves a second chance.

    Wonderful experience! Our waitperson, Jose, was charming and witty. Great bites, delicious drinks. A rooftop bar with fire pits. Need I say more?
