Skyline Sophistication with Heart
This rooftop lounge delivers on every front—elevated ambiance, outstanding service, and a thoughtful menu that welcomes everyone. I was especially impressed by the creative mocktail offerings. As a non-drinker, it’s rare to find options this flavorful and beautifully crafted.
Their vegetarian dishes were equally thoughtful—hearty, delicious, and clearly made with care. It’s refreshing to see a space where inclusion is more than a buzzword.
And the view? Absolutely stunning. Whether you're soaking in the sunset or enjoying the sparkle of the city lights, the skyline provides the perfect backdrop to an already memorable experience.
A place I’ll be happy to return to.

Don't like the fact that if there isn't a seat at the bar for you then you must leave.

I personally want to thank the Hostess Lisa. She is Best of the Best!! I called for a table at last minute. When my Dad and I got there Lisa showed us to an outside table with a perfect view of the harbor! Great restaurant! Great food! Our server Brandon was First Class Awesome!!

This is a MUST go to place. I would make the drive from Rochester to go back to eat here! The atmosphere has an elite-fancy feel when you first enter, impressing a possible date?. Once you encounter the staff, you feel relaxed, welcomed, and encouraged to ask any questions you might have on the unique inventive small plate masterpieces on the menu. From the hostess, to the bartender, to the waitresses I left here feeling energized, happy, and excited. My girlfriends also agreed it was the perfect kickoff to our girls weekend getaway!!

Good Shareables. Four of us had "dinner", a lot of small plates that were great for sharing. Everything was good, but nothing was a standout , Good drink selection and the whiskey and margarita flights are worth trying. The atmosphere was great. A little too windy to sit outside, but the inside seating was nice. I recommend reservations.

Great spot overlooking the river and Lake Ontario. Visiting from out of town and wish I had more time to spend here - every drink we had was amazing! Food was equally good but tapas style so be prepared. What really took this experience to the next level was our server Brandon - he was so friendly it was infectious! Request him if you go. And get the banana bread at work cocktail! I don’t even like bourbon and I loved it!

I would like to start by saying I NEVER leave a negative review and am very understanding of servers struggles in their jobs. My sister and I stopped here as we were exploring along Ontario lake. Do not let the atmosphere fool you. We had a server whose nails were absolutely filthy. I mean every single nail was caked with dirt. We did not notice until the end our meal. He struggled to check in with our table as well as the only other table in the restaurant, as he was too busy talking in the corner with the other workers. The other table had to cancel the drinks they ordered because he took so long. I also had to ask about my own drink after 20 minutes and he blamed it on another worker not being there. Again, we were one of three tables in the whole restaurant. The food was okay at best for me. My sister got the pasta primavera and it was awful. It was a pool of bitter oil not properly emulsified with the lemon juice. The prices were very high, not necessarily for the amount of food, but for the lower quality of the food. I would in no way recommend this as a place to stop.

Reviews on Facebook I would not even plan on going there
Highly Eclectic, but I wasn't aware.
From this experience, I will always look up a restaurant's menu ahead of time so that I know what kind of food the establishment offers.
The Rooftop Lounge is an awesome place for meeting up with friends for cocktails/mocktails and to experience local LIVE music. The environment, the feel of the space is very good and open, and the staff are very friendly and hospitable.
I can't wait to be able to sit outside on the rooftop.
The night we went, August 2nd, 2024, for the 1st time and for a 73rd birthday for a local music legend, it rained, so we couldn't experience the outside, BUT we WILL return!

I want to give this place 5 stars. The food is outstanding. The atmosphere was great. The service was horrific. 30 minutes to get a drink. 25 minutes to run our card to get the check. Honestly ridiculous.
