“Felicia the bartender was very nice and attentive to our every need. Made great recommendations, communication and was very funny! I loved the personal touches at the bar, lighting, nostalgia, beer selection & the food (burgers and fries) was off the chain. I thought the chilled drink runner (?) was the coolest thing ever!!! I will absolutely be back. My wife and I was VERY impressed and will MOST DEFINITELY be back!“

“BEST EXPERIENCE ALWAYS !
We drive over an hour and a half to come to this restaurant! We always have an excellent meal with both sides of the restaurant, which offers both the traditional Chinese selections and the other upscale gourmet dining option from their gourmet section.
What I like is that we can always sit in the traditional Chinese section and still order from the upscale menu as well as the traditional Chinese menu! The wait staff can’t be any better, and are so attentive and accommodating.
The chefs there are truly talented and the portions are generous, as is the quality and freshness every time.
The prices are reasonable and you can’t find a better value and enjoyable experience!
We will definitely keep traveling over the hour and a half, as it’s well worth it and we know as we have had Chinese food in China, Hong Kong, Singapore, and other places around the world!“

“We happened upon the Landing Rooftop by chance - searching for a late night dinner in downtown Melbourne. All we can say is WOW! Quite possibly one of the best meals we’ve had in the 321 area. We started with the Charred Octopus and Crab-cake appetizers. The charred octopus is delicious - completely new preparation than we’ve ever had. Perhaps lightly fried (and I mean very lightly and not breaded) and then sautéed. (Just a guess) - but it seals in the flavor perfectly. It is served over house made hummus which was rich and thick with delicious olives and caper berries (yum!). The crab cake is a large crab cake oozing large chunks of lump crab and little filler - the chayote slaw, sauce and crab cake created a perfect balanced bite. We then shared the Grouper - and this was our favorite. My husband fishes and insists on the Grouper wherever we dine. This one is hands down favorite! The fish is fresh and lightly sautéed /pan seared to a perfect flake. It’s served on top of a lemon orzo - the citrus flavor showcases the fish. The side was my actual favorite - braised fennel! I had never had a whole bulb of fennel but the flavor was delicious. I will be craving this until we dine again. We were able to interact with the restaurant manager (given the late hour he was assisting his team) - truly an engaging personable delight of a human. A great face of the restaurant. Also met the executive chef - Chef Alexis V Martinez. His resume speaks for itself (on top of being classically French trained - and alumnus of the CIA). This should be a restaurant destination - not only for hotel guests but the 321 area in general. The bar area was quite lively yet refined - and the drink menu appeared delicious . We look forward to our next visit …“
