Had the ceviche to start and it was really good. Wife had the burger and I had the branzino fish and chips. Wife said burger was salty and for the price, wish it came with fries. Had a bite of her burger and thought it was okay. Branzino fish and chips was very delicious. The touch of aji amarillo was great. Cocktails were great.

Ambience =good. It used to be livelier on Friday nights but a lot has changed in what they offer. Food=ok. Not many options but somewhat healthy Value= not good. Portions are small so it's pricey; specifically, Shrimp added to pasta is $16 but u only get 4 small shrimp in the form of garnish. Drinks=strong Service= a bit slow for a slow night but the staff were awesome Overall =good

First let me start off by saying our server Ann was very capable & personable, my review is in no way a reflection on her. When I made the reservations the website offered buffet brunch for $69, I emailed the restaurant & said we would doing buffet & if they had bottomless mimosas? I never heard back, I emailed them twice. We were celebrating a birthday, and I was willing to pay for brunch, then I get an email that I have to leave my cc to hold reservations... no problem. I called an asked for a view & the attendant who answered said he would make note of request, but no guarantee...understood. When we arrived we were sat in a corner with no view...we were a party of 6. When we arrived there were maybe 4 other parties there. NOT CROWDED AT ALL!! NOT BUSY AT ALL!! We ordered bottle of champagne $64, 3 appetizers, 5 meals,1 of which was shared by 2, 2 cocktails =$480 gratuity included. The food was bought out at different times, we all were eating at different times. Unacceptable!! They tried to make it right by giving us 2 orders of beignets ... I don't mind paying for a view, ambience , atmosphere or food but this was a very disappointing & expensive outing. I wanted an experience and all we got was an astronomical BILL... I would not recommend this ROOFTOP DINING EXPERIENCE... NO BUENO...DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY...BTW ,parking was $20?

My bestie and i went to the Rooftop for brunch. Beautiful oasis in the middle of DTLA. Everything from ambiance to drinks, to food to service was exceptional. Edward was our fabulous server. Get that man a raise. ?

Made reservations for a party of 3 for dinner and drinks. I dropped my friends off at the door of the hotel to grab the table while I parked right next door at the parking structure. I did not take longer than 5 minutes to find parking and go inside the hotel. There was someone standing in the lobby asking where I was headed to. He stated the rooftop was closed for the night. I informed him my friends were upstairs waiting for me. As I stood there, two more couples walked in stating they also had made reservations. The man who was not allowing us to go upstairs stated “It's closed for a company party.” I then call my friends who are having drinks on the rooftop, and they proceed to tell them that's not true as there is only about 5 other people there who aren't even sitting together. As my friends pay their bill and make their way down, they overhear an employee say they're hoping to close early since it's cold. This was such an unfortunate experience especially since I picked the location and brought my friends. I also enjoyed this place but this time was very upsetting. Whether the rooftop restaurant was closing early or for other reasons, they should mark it closed on the reservation app. Very disappointed.

Very accommodating as a last minute group for Sunday brunch (probably didn’t even need reservations). Limited menu and woefully understaffed, so check that there is food to your liking and bring your patience. But this is the kind of place you visit primarily for rooftop views and vibes anyway, and it satisfied that for us.

Good atmosphere. Pleased to see enough outdoor heaters available for guests to be comfortable as the sun sets and night falls. Surprised that they didn't have any crab cakes available so early in the evening (5:45).

This location was first to pop up as a suggestion for the area. I'm so glad I checked it out. Everyone is so kind and helpful. The view is nice, the food was delicious, the drinks are mixed perfectly, overall 10/10.

Me and my husband came here for a Valentine’s Day dinner. Honestly , it was really unimpressive.Our table was dirty, but we didn’t think too much about it since it’s outside. Our food came EVENTUALLY but we waited at least 45 min just for entrees. It was STONE COLD. So was my husbands so we told our server and she said she would have them remark it. Mine came and the guy that brought it said it was “piping hot”.. it was cold. Again. And I guess the remake only applied to my food because they weren’t even going to bring my husbands again until we said something, and they only brought him the side. Not the full meal. Definitely not worth it, unfortunately.I also had to speed off the freeway m, due to eating cold meat I was in the bathroom with horrible stomach issues for a chunk of the rest of our date. Save your money and go somewhere else that’s worth it.

I bought the Valentine's experience for lunch but when I got there, they had switched it to only dinner. I was disappointed. I settled for a regular day because of time. The service however was still good.

My boyfriend and I had a great time! The view is gorgeous. Matt and Matty were so attentive to us. The steak and frites was amazing and my amaretto sour was delicious. I wish they still had the lamb chops, but I'll definitely be coming back for the steak. 10/10 would recommend.

I've been to this place many times and it's always great. Yesterday I was at the rooftop and I forgot my expensive sunglasses when we left. I went back today and the staff had collected them and put them away for me. Super appreciate the above and beyond service and hope to be back soon. Amazing wait staff and service delivery.
