Great vibes and views but the questionable service (took long, forgot a drink order, and in a rush to close out the tab) made it less enjoyable and disappointing.

Good environment as rooftop restaurant/ bar. Items come out quickly and the ambiance is typically lively, even on chilly San Francisco nights. Sad to see them leave!

Great spot with excellent food. There are mice visibly running about, which while I get its on the roof - the workers seemed to know and not care at all. Kinda gross.

Margaritas were amazing. Food was incredible, and great prices. The view from the patio was stunning. Will definitely be back!

Drinks are questionable. Ordered margaritas with tequila and mezcal, but they tasted like mocktails and had no heat at all. They are definitely scrimping on the booze. Would not order them again. Food is good. Service and atmosphere was great.

Wasn't really sure what to expect when we got there. But everything from the elevator ride to the dessert was top-notch! They were busy, but the staff never missed a beat! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a rooftop experience with amazing food!

Everything was cold. Chips were stale. Margs were decent. Service was very slow and lackluster. Bathroom was so dirty.

I've been to this restaurant multiple times and usually have a great experience, but this visit was disappointing due to the service. Our waiter took a while to greet us and seemed distracted throughout the night. He forgot part of our order (yuca fries), took a long time to bring our drinks, and we had to ask someone else for a beer. By the time our drinks arrived, our food had already been served. He also didn't check in on us at all. Meanwhile, we noticed him socializing and hugging other customers instead of attending to tables. While the food was good and the drinks were fine, the poor service really affected our experience. Unfortunately, we didn't catch the waiter's name, but this was the first time I've had an issue here. I hope this was just an off night, but it was still disappointing.

I used to really like this place but unfortunately I’ve have too many bad experiences. While dining alone one time my table was abruptly given to someone else while I went to the restroom and my food was cleared. The waiter then rudely asked me to leave my stuff unattended while I used to loo. What does he want me leave? My laptop? My phone? Or my purse itself?

Rude staff. And poor service. Food is mediocre and comes cold at times.

Excellent cocktails in a rooftop setting

Extremely rude, unprofessional, and downright disrespectful door person. I had a party of 9 who came at reservation time (after sunset when it was cold), and the door person in front told us “you have to wait outside for 10 minutes until your host comes”. After we told him we had a reservation at the exact time, he responded with “What did I just tell you, all of you have to wait outside! I’m not going to let you in!”. The man also rudely yelled at us that we couldn’t all go inside the elevator at once (the elevator’s capacity permit seen from inside stated it had only been valid until 2011, which doesn’t speak well for the establishment). This man was African American, and had many arm tattoos. The restaurant food was good, but I would steer clear of this place unless you wish to be subjected to the same level of disrespect and lack of professional conduct. It’s really not hard to just be decently polite when your only job is to sit in a chair at the entrance of a building.
