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.

The deck outside is great! The vibe feels good. The fingerling potatoes are amazing and the tuna tasted - fishy. Cocktails were meh.
Hestia RooftopResponded 7 days ago
Hello Joel - Thank you for your feedback! We're always looking for ways to improve. Our tuna is always freshly cut to order. For example, that 98lb tuna you mentioned was delivered fresh on Friday afternoon, feel free to check it out on our Instagram. Regarding the pours: all neat or on-the-rocks drinks are served with a 2-ounce pour, while mixed drinks (with soda or juice) are served with 1.5 ounces of liquor. Unless specified otherwise, that standard pour is 2 ounces. The pricing in our system is based on the 1.5-ounce pour, which is why there's an additional charge for the extra ounce in neat or on-the-rocks drinks. Again, thank you for the feedback and we hope you have a great week! Hestia Management

Had been before and the reason we returned. Although this experience was nothing like my first experience. We had a glass break at the table and his finger was cut, while we told them and they took the broken glass, they never offered to replace the drink, or asked told we wanted another one, they never wiped down the table where the glass broke, but did bring a bandaid. Service was not the best, there was one bartender that was great, but he was busy at the bar. Regardless, be sure if you are sitting outside, there is very limited service and if you break a glass be careful. Clean up was not ideal.
Hestia RooftopResponded on 17 November 2024
The situation with the guest was addressed directly, with medical assistance, and bandages were provided. When asked what he was drinking to offer a replacement, he declined. A follow-up check was made when he returned from the bathroom to ensure everything was ok. The reservation was for dinner, but the decision was made to sit on the uncovered patio for drinks. During the colder evenings this area is not staffed with a dedicated server. Instead, the bar team assists, and last night 3 bartenders were working hard to manage all guests. The patio remains open for those who prefer to sit outside in colder weather. A busser was asked to wipe down the patio area, we apologize this was not done thoroughly. Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to provide clarity on the situation.

Hey Regan! Thanks for your feedback. I know my assistant manager was able to relocate you all to a different table. We have since made adjustments to those tables to make them less intrusive by our staff. We hope to see you again soon!
