   We made a same day reservation on NYE, wanting a nice sky view to ring in the new year. Understanding that practically all restaurants were requiring reservations for NYE, we were surprised to get one on OpenTable. When we arrived (on time), the hostess couldn’t initially find our reservation. She did (I thought), and sat us in a location where there were minimal heaters. (Being on a rooftop in January near the ocean, there should never be “minimal heaters” available.) We requested another heater by our table, and she said due to tables being reserved, this was the only open table & she couldn’t accommodate our request for a more heated spot…(by the way, at the time we arrived, the bar appeared NOT busy & there were plenty of unused heaters available near un-manned reserved seating). This lead me to believe, she never found our res, and was proceeding as if we were walk-ins. Just my guess. And it took away from a better experience because it was pretty cold. Our server was pleasant & prompt with our drinks and food order. Menu was small…limited food choices. Great alcoholic & non-alc beverage choices. Everything came out quickly & hot. Steak tacos & Fish tacos were ordered and all were delicious! The mezcal drink was a lovely start to our evening as well - delicious! Overall, it was an average experience - definitely more good than disappointing. The hotel & the bar itself were lovely…just cold on the terrace without another heater. We didn’t end up ringing in the New Year here - we left to get warm! I do believe, however, this to be a fantastic location & view for brunch or warmer evenings!

   Had a large group and was interesting how they wanted to do the billing.

   It’s a beautiful venue amongst the downtown skyline. When they have music I recommend sitting near the glass for a good view. The staff are attentive and the food was delicious!

   Service was terrible, even though there were very few guests there. Food was not that good for the prices they are charging. I ordered an iced coffee with a splash of half-and-half, and they seemingly brought me a cup of half-and-half with a splash of coffee.

   Fantastic experience for a rooftop bar. The happy hour menu was great food and fancy drinks. We had a full meal plus drinks for the two of us from the HH menu. Our server was extremely nice and attentive. We are just visiting California for the weekend but I would put this one on my list to come back to!

    It was barely even sprinkling and they cancelled my reservation because it was « raining ». Caused us a whole hassle to find somewhere nice last minute for such an important dinner.
