    Very hard to get a rez but good was excellent. Lasagna was fantastic and very different, using white sauce and rib meat. Pizza very good along with bouillabaisse. Fresh pasta. Make sure to ask which sauce is spicy though.

    Went with some friends to celebrate an engagement. Food menu is diverse, and offered plenty of options, even for the one person who did not like raw fish. Over all a great experience, though a bit pricey.

    RH Rooftop Review Service: Our server Leini was friendly, accommodating, and approachable. What stood out was the teamwork among the staff—other servers were willing to help, not just focused on their assigned tables. This collaborative effort truly enhanced the experience. Food: •Roadside Lobster Roll with Caviar (extra $$$): Absolutely phenomenal. The caviar perfectly complemented the lobster roll, adding a luxurious touch. The portion size is just right for fine dining and worth every bite. •Shaved Ribeye Dip: Delicious, though not particularly unique. While I enjoyed it, I found myself wishing I had ordered my wife’s lobster roll instead. Still, splitting two different dishes gave us the chance to explore the menu. Sides: Both the French fries and potato fries were great additions. They were satisfying and complemented the meals, especially when one dish had a smaller portion size. Dessert: The Banana Split with salted caramel was exceptional—fresh, flavorful, and downright indulgent. A must-try! Coffee: The Mocha Cappuccino with oat milk was disappointing. It tasted like stale brewed coffee. Unfortunately, I didn’t realize this until later since I took it to go, but it’s not something I’d order again. Overall: The experience was wonderful. I’d definitely return to enjoy the lobster roll with caviar, banana split dessert, and explore other menu options.

    They’re still working out “bugs” with Open Table as they’ve just started using it. However, the manager was extremely accommodating and even provided a complimentary tequila/pineapple shot at the end of our meal. Food was phenomenal. Staff is courteous and attentive. Prices are reasonable for quality of food. I highly recommend for a different experience and great food.
