Our experience was amazing from the time we walked in to the time we left. They really do value the customer, I asked one gentleman where the washroom was and he escorted me all the way there. Our waitress, did not catch her name unfortunately, was outstanding! She introduced us to a new wine, and was very knowledgeable about the wine! They even offered my partner and I a complimentary dessert for our anniversary! Will definitely be returning!

Amazing and unique experience akin to being in Scandinavia. The billowing smoke scent of cedar oil was a nice touch. I gave the food a 3 as there was actually no food but didn’t want to rank your rating.

We had an amazing experience at The Rooftop! The ambiance was unmatched, with breathtaking views and a vibrant yet cozy atmosphere. The food was absolutely delicious, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. Our server, Avin, truly elevated our evening. They were attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, making excellent recommendations that we thoroughly enjoyed. Avin’s warm and professional demeanor made us feel so welcome and taken care of throughout the night. We highly recommend The Rooftop for a memorable dining experience and will definitely be back soon. Thank you to Avin and the entire team for such an incredible evening!
