Definitely a place for the views but the views are outstanding! It was overpriced in my opinion for the amount of food you get. Food was decent. Although they were short staffed they did a phenomenal job of checking in and making sure we had everything we needed. The service and the views are what made this a good experience!

One of the Worst Rooftop Bar Experiences – Beware! This place is nothing but a cheap rooftop bar with ridiculously overpriced, stale drinks. I went with my siblings and we ordered margaritas—each one came out to $55! When I confronted the staff, they casually claimed it was because the Patron tequila used was $45 per drink. That’s absolutely insane.
I’m outraged and honestly horrified that they think this is acceptable. There was no warning, no transparency—just a massive bill for subpar drinks in a mediocre setting. Total rip-off. Be warned before you waste your time and money here.

We enjoyed the food but it was kind of wet in our area because of the rain. I wished that it was sunny to enjoy the rooftop.

Very disappointing experience. The food was not hot and quite oily. Dirty plates and empty glasses were left on our table long after we finished eating. The restrooms were in an unacceptable state. The only positives were the stunning view and the happy hour deals. Unfortunately we would not return.

Despite having made a reservation for Sunday brunch, arrived in time to be told the rooftop was closed and wouldn’t open again for another 30 mins. We waited, and once allowed up, was told they were no longer serving food, even through brunch is meant to be 10-3pm. This place is a scam, do not waste your money. Staff are disrespectful and rude, completely ruined our weekend

Great view and friendly bar staff

Awful service that has really become a tourist spots moreso than a local Hotspot. Slow service and dirty glasses is more than enough reason for me to never come back here or recommend to people visiting Chicago. Views are still beautiful if you're lucky enough to get a seat to enjoy it.

Had a reservation booked for weeks here for a bachelorette party and they cancelled it 3 days before because they booked out the restaurant for a private group. Terrible service that they allowed this.

Horrible experience. The restaurant was not even half full at 1:30pm for brunch on Sunday. We were sat and the server did not even come to our table for 5 minutes. We ordered a round of drinks. We wanted a Bloody Mary, but they had run out of mix. How does a brunch restaurant that is not busy run out of Bloody Mary mix? To make matters worse, the server rudely conveyed that the kitchen was backed up and there was no telling how long it would be before we might have food. Even though we saw food runners working. We chug our overpriced, cheap tasting wine and left. On the way out, I asked the hostess what was going on with the food. She advised that the kitchen had actually run out of food. So there was no way we would ever have been able to eat. Why were we not told this before we were sat? The restaurant then cancelled my reservation on this app before I could leave a review. This is fraud. Do not eat here.
Devante (sp) was nice and there seemed to be enough employees just not working collaboratively enough? Many missing menu items. Overall okay but wonky. Can't imagine if it had been busier

Great view of the Chicago Lakefront. The rooftop has a nice vibe with a fun bar. We went for brunch and our servers were very nice but service lacked. One person in our part ordered a sandwich and they did not tell him that didn't have pastrami until all our meals were served. He had to reorder. They didn't refill our water glasses , had to ask for more coffee. 2 people in our party had their coffee served in paper cups. We had to ask for the bill - took them forever we finally walked out and payed by cash. Recommend going for drinks instead of brunch!

Had an hour 20 minute wait before they let us order food because the kitchen apparently backed up and the rooftop was only half full. Initially told us we had to wait 30 minute but ended up being almost tripe that wait. Also they had one server for the entire place so service was slow. We were never checked on to see if we needed another drink or were ever told the kitchen was ready to put in a food order. We had to continuously flag our server down every time we needed another drink and finally asked if the kitchen was ready an hour 20 minute in and finally told us it was ok to order. Also they were missing items off the menu and instead of letting us know at the time of placing the order with the kitchen they just sent out the food order with substitutions which they just assumed were ok (my wife doesn't eat pork and they subbed in bacon for the missing item). Overall sucked and would not come back, so many other great rooftops in Chicago. They are very clearly understaffed.

Table wasn't ready when we arrived. They told us we can sit at another table, while we waited and a table was cleared. Wait staff then seated another table where we were supposed to go and moved us one table over. Wait staff then stood around and giggled at their mistake. Waitress also brought over food and insisted someone at our party placed the order when he left the table. He did not.

We went on a rainy night and the roof leaked in some areas, but the vibe, service and view made it well worth the trip. I love that place.
