    We sat on the outdoor patio. It was a beautiful evening and the view is amazing. The Wagyu Tacos and the Truffle Fritas were delicious, while the cauliflower as just ok. The drinks were beautifully crafted, and the Hibiscus Collin’s is the best version of a Tom Collin’s I’ve ever had. The servers were attentive. A great evening out!

    The restaurant and ambience are lovely. The outdoor area is great for views. The food presentations were very nice, however, the food was tasteless. Lacking in flavor. We have the Birria empanadas and the birria had little flavor. The beef was very tender, but lacking flavor. We also had the Short Rib Croquettes. Again nice presentation, but totally lacking in flavor in the meat, the coating and the accompaniments. Also had the Charred Carrots... very pretty, but again the sauce under the carrots lacked any flavor. We know the food is not good when we do not finish :( :(. They need a chef that is going to keep them in the game... it is tough to be successful in the Phoenix Metro area. There are so many great and yummy, flavorable restaurants.

    We used the hotel valet, the hostess was accommodating in adjusting our seating, our waiter was attentive and professional and the views were exceptional. Dinner and drinks ratings were as high as the elevation, top marks.

    Limited menu and felt like there was a lack of restaurant management experience. Elevator to rooftop was not operational until 10 mins after opening time and they seemed unprepared to start welcoming guests.

    Great food and great service, it was very peaceful and quiet sitting outside. The portions are small but so rich that it is worth it.
