The rooftop is very nice with a bar. There was no wait. The food was average. My dish was good, but my wife said her’s lacked flavor. The service was good, although the server didn’t have all the knowledge he needed to have.

The hubs and I came here for an appetizer and a drink. Had the best seat in the house on the rooftop patio. Amazing ambiance. Food and drinks were delish! Chatted with Archie, the owner for awhile- great guy! Great experience! We will be back!

We went there on a Saturday night and were able to get seated right away. Live music was being played on the terrace and the full moon was bright so that right away set the mood. Service was great and the Bronzino was excellent! Hubby ordered ceviche which was small for a dinner but we shared the bro. Definitely going back!

Such a beautiful patio overlooking the San Juan Capistrano mission. My friend and I enjoyed lunch on a Friday and it was not crowded. Our server was very attentive and the food was delicious. Highly recommend!

When every other place had a 45 minute wait wereb able to get seated here right away. The food was great, the service was really good, and they had great live music.Kid-friendliness: We brought our 4 month old daughter and 9 year old twin nieces. They have a kids menu.

The food is okay but the restaurant and staff leave a lot to be desired. I would describe the restaurant as dingy and in need of updates. The staff had bored and bothered looks on their faces. Drinks also were just okay, nothing special. Also, careful parking in the structure if it’s late at night. There were shady characters hanging around the structure probably waiting for vulnerable females going to their cars.

Decided to kill some time on a Saturday at this rooftop in SJC! The rooftop has the cutest vibes and they were even setting up to do some live music although we left before they started playing.Just grabbed a couple of drinks which were perfectly refreshing for the near 100 degree day and so so good! The Gran Torino is basically the bartenders choice of margarita, it was delish! And the sangria with red wine was so yummy I'm sure it's dangerous! Would've loved to have more, but we were driving home so we had to refrain. However, we were disappointed by dessert. While we didn't actually get to see a dessert menu, the bartender informed us they offered a blueberry cake, chocolate cake and there was 1 more item that I can't remember. A chocolate cake sounded rich and decadent, so we ordered that and awaited excitingly. We were super bummed when it was delivered and had a layer of green frosting. Upon tasting it, we think it was some sort of cocoa + matcha combination which we both do not like the flavor of matcha, so it was not enjoyable. Also the cake was dry. Wishing the desserts were explained more thoroughly before we ordered because we certainly wouldn't have ordered the chocolate cake had we known.I'll be back for the drinks and the vibes!

I came here early during the day on a weekday. The restaurant was pretty empty. Looks like it would be a pretty cool place to come to in the evening. Wondering how the atmosphere would be then. Looks like it gets pretty busy with all the tables they have out.

Very cute restaurant!Ordered the chilaquiles and they were so good. I admit I didn't have high expectations, but they were amazing. I loved the chorizo and the sauce they used. Our table also ordered the tres leches french toast and Montecristo and they were so good! Service was quick and super helpful. Very welcoming and patient.

My wife and I visited the Rooftop last night and got a great seat with a view. We ordered drinks and calamari and when it came, it was inedible as it seemed like it was sitting a long time under a heat lamp. Almost immediately a manager came by (didnt get his name) and asked how things were and we told him the calamari wasnt fresh. He apologized and asked what else we'd like and we said calamari, but fresh. Alas, they were out and so we ordered crab cakes. He said he would also get us a chicken dish and were like...ok.The crab cakes were great and then a little later the chicken dish came and it was also great. Not sure what it was because we didnt order it (chicken breast with rice and corn) very tasty.We were surprised because not only didnt they charge us for the chicken, but also didnt charge us for the crab cakes. I believe this is how customer service should be done.They were hosting a big wedding reception and were probably swamped.
