   During happy hour this spot is very enjoyable. Late night, not so much. Too loud and too young at that time.

   Had a work meeting/celebration here. Absolutely wonderful service and attention. The staff greeted us by name and prepared everything ahead of time. Such a stellar team and every manager and employee was kind and provided excellent customer service and hospitality! Kudos.

   The drinks were too nondescript for the price. Wine selection was underwhelming, a (classical) mixed drink was below average. We did not have any food. The worst part is that there are speakers everywhere and they were streaming boring loud music. The location is great, but the view from the rooftop is obstructed by a fairly tall wall. You can see the cityscape if you standing, but not if you are seating at the tables. So the only reason to come there did not deliver either. It is a shame, because the place has great potential.

   Gossip girl experience was so fun! Also, they have a great selection of mocktails at this bar and the lobster tacos are great.

   Visited the Rooftop at 2pm on a Monday. Noise was minimal, service was great as was the food. Drinks in point! Would recommend highly.

   The location and the view can't be beat. The service and the food was good. But we had two margaritas that had almost no alcohol. My wife had two margaritas and didn't feel anything which is very unusual for her.
