    I love the igloos. A very cool atmosphere over looking the city at night. My only issue would be trying to eat the food. You aren’t eating at a table, it’s a small table in the middle. Which I totally get, which creates the cozy feel. The shareable food selection was very tasty. Minor inconvenience. It was great for just having drinks and appetizers, but not a meal. Would go back again.

    Nice experience. Bar service was slow , but food was great! They need better heaters if it was any colder outside. Outside temp was 20’s any still pretty cool in igloo. Should have two staff assigned to igloo server had to set drink and food down in order to unzip igloo. Also zipper already broken and season just started

    The staff are always top-notch and friendly. We prefer the Top when it’s not crowded so we always go early. The food was fantastic (get the calamari) as were the drinks. I can’t wait to come back.

    Third visit for Brunch Boards. While I know the original boards were very large and cumbersome for staff, I missed the originality of a board! The food was generous and tasty as always; however, my only complaint is the removal from the menu of one of the best brunch items - brioche brûlée. While the wait person assured us the replacement was better - it was not! Speaking of waitstaff, our server was delightful and attentive with great customer service skills - sorry I didn't get her name, although she was probably the older of the employees.

    Views are very nice but service was just ok. It took a while for servers to clear our table even after rounds of drinks were brought out. Food was just ok, sadly I was hoping for better.
