Came in here for the first time the other day. Seriously had my mind blown . The service Amanda provided was excellent . She was quick, had great recommendations , explained the menu super thoroughly and never made us feel like an inconvenience .10/10 will come back just to see her .

Can’t speak about the food, but the bar is beautiful and the espresso martini is delicious! We sat in the downstairs area in the hotel lobby, it’s very peaceful and great for one on one conversation. We tried many drinks, they all had just the right amount of liquor but still enough for it to feel like a drink. I can’t remember the last time I had a cocktail and didn’t wince at the strength until I got a drink here

Great vibes and atmosphere. Garret is an amazing bartender/server with good recommendations. Burgers were a bit dry but crab cake and the charcuterie board was amazing!

They sat us down and had us waiting for 20 minutes. Several waiters came nearby but they refused to serve our table. After the long wait we decided to leave. I pointed out to the hostess that we didn’t get a waiter and she said sorry but didn’t do anything about the situation . Overall I would have given them a 0/5 but it’s not possible. Nice view though. Pity it turned out to be so bad

This was our first visit since the renovation was completed.We went there for cocktails before dinner. We tried the old fashion, the bird of paradise, and the Hawaiian wave. The bird of paradise was the least favorite. Our waitress, shy, was very friendly and impressed us with the drink order and special requests without writing anything down. We did not order any food but everything going past us looked great. It was a fun place and we will return.
We went to the Rooftop Bar for some drinks around sunset. Both the drinks and the service were good, and even in mid summer, the breeze made it quite comfortable to sit outside.
There isn't very much outdoor seating, so I'd you want to sit outside, it's probably best to get a reservation.
We didn't order any food, but the menu did look promising.
I heard the view isn't what it uses to be following renovations, but it still was a nice place to spend the evening.
The service was really good and the seating was very comfortable.

It's got to be pretty bad for me to give one star for food. The Duck Wings had no meat, just fat and skin. The sliders were dry. Service was friendly but the drinks are very expensive, overpriced. There are way too many options in the area for bar food.

I had high hopes for this rooftop bar, but unfortunately, our experience started off on the wrong foot. Despite having a reservation, the hostess was completely absent when we arrived—and none of the staff seemed to know where she was. We were eventually offered a couch in the corner that looked more like a waiting area than an actual table, which felt dismissive and unorganized. We were told we could try to find our own table outside, but there was nowhere to sit. When we asked the bartender for help, she told us she had no idea because she was “just the bartender.” All the while, we could clearly see several open tables that no one offered to seat us at. The only bright spots in the night were our server Michael F., who was friendly and attentive, and the manager who comped our first round of drinks in an effort to make things right. I appreciate that gesture, but the poor front-of-house experience left a sour taste overall. I hope they can improve their organization and professionalism at the front—because the setting and drinks have potential, but first impressions matter.
The rooftop bar has good service and good drinks. The view is great. However I made a reservation for dinner and drinks and when I saw the food menu I was puzzled. Seemed more like appetizers to me. We did enjoy a nice pretzel and good drinks. A good place for a drink but maybe go downstairs or to MarMo cafe or Hubcap grill for a dinner.
Not a whole lot of food options but service was great and staff was very friendly. Thank you Rebekah for making the experience enjoyable and providing very tasty recommendations!
This is the renovation we waited so long for? No sunset view? Hardly any outdoor rooftop tables? I went once and will not return.
One of my favorite spots in Galveston! The setting (especially outside) is great for an intimate drink or martinis with friends. Be sure to make reservations ... it's worth it!!!
