    Beautiful rooftop; Mexican riviera ambiance. Nice assortment of shareable food items and drink selections. Warm heat lamps, not noisy but with eclectic music playing. Great views and easy parking! Reservations recommended

    I loved 2/3 dishes, the view was amazing, the service was excellent, n prices for the food were appropriate. Hummus n bread were unique n delicious, the Hanger Steak and Grilled Branzino we're to die for! The lobster rolls fell way short in taste and portion size. The drinks were just ok n plain looking, definitely not worth their cost. I'll skip those next time.

    We made reservations, but I guess that did not mean much. The person downstairs, sent us up because he said our table was ready and we had to wait an additional 15mins before I table was ready. It was crowded (because it was a Saturday night), but the service was slow because of that. I wouldn't go back, just not for me. What made it worse, we were celebrating our 22nd wedding anniversary.
