Attended a day party/special event. It was a nice time with improved bar service wait time, and great aerial views.

This place is phenomenal! The view is perfect and unobstructed, the ambience is great, the servers are friendly and provided great service, and even though I wasn’t expecting it the food was also amazing, putting this place over the top! The Happy hour makes this a great value!

Slowest service and worst attitude of bartenders I have ever encountered. 30 minutes waiting to get a bottle of beer from a rude and slow bartender. If it weren’t for the view this place would be 0 stars

The food & drinks were amazing, but can we get some fans on the ceiling too? There are heaters up there for the cold i'm assuming, but a fan or four wouldn't hurt. Especially with numerous days of back to back extreme heat & humidity. The alcohol is already heating me up enough lol That's the only reason I give a four

Omg!!! I travel to eat and try new restaurants, but this is by far one of the worst resturant. Wings were so salty and hard, beef ribs was tasteless and fatty. Burger was under season and needed more sauce. Over all you couldn't pay me to eat here again! I don't recommend it not even for my dogs or my worst enemy. Service was the only good thing there

Came here for the 4th of July woth my family. We were seated outside at one of the high-top tables. We had a great view of the Capitol Building. We shared a cheese and charcuterie board. For dinner, I got the pesto chicken flat bread, which was good. Lots of chicken and sun-dried tomatoes. We also split the chocolate cake and the key lime pie. Both were very good! Throughout our meal, we could see so many fireworks all around us.

This place has the best name for it because it’s just smoking and mirrors. It gives you the illusion of a good restaurant, but it’s not. I was confirmed for a reservation through an app that they made me use, but The restaurant couldn’t see my confirmed reservation. The menu is the smallest menu I have ever seen at a restaurant on top of that, the food wasn’t that good. We ordered burgers and the fries were cold and the burger was overcooked. I will never go here again.

Good drinks but bar service is slow when not busy! We think they were trying to stall to not charge happy hour prices.

The atmosphere is a vibe. Service was top tier from the valet to the bar to the servers. The view is at sunset is really nice. Lastly, I’ve never had wet lemon pepper wings! It took a little getting used to.

Primarily a small dish restaurant, items were good to fair, service was average.. views were outstanding.. overall a "light" 4
The restaurant is beautiful. The ambience was a delight. Friendly and attentive servers. The rooftop was large and comfortable. Great drinks! Great food! Great experience! Planning my next visit.
Good view. Nice food. Awkward if you need to split the bill multiple ways.

First time here, and it was interesting. I came and sat at the bar , ordered 2 drinks equaling $60 worth of drinks, then went inside because it was too hot outside and then decided to go back outside once it cooled down. I sat at a table that wasn't labeled as reserved. I had the manager on staff, on Friday, June 20th, to make a nasty comment that she was sure someone told me that this area was reserved. There was no reserved sign on the table. I was there for my son's 30th birthday and ended up spending 200 plus dollars there. I asked to speak to the manager, which appeared to be this dismissive young lady. She was nasty and condescending and made me never wanna come back here again. You might want to train your staff to treat everyone equally. The prices are quite high, and people should be treated with respect.
I will not be visiting this place again. It's interesting.How places are quick to charge high fees, but hire subpar staff. I must mention the bartender was excellent. He worked on june twentieth between the hours of four and seven pm.
