The view was beautiful but the service was terrible. It took 30 minutes to get our drinks. Neither the server or the manager apologized for the poor service. read more

I CAN NOT give a high enough rating to the team at Kabana Rooftop! We had the rehearsal dinner for my son there. Sophia was so great to work with! I depended on her a lot because I live in SC so was difficult for me bc I don't know Richmond. She had great ideas and so helpful and patient. I left my bag at the venue and she delivered it to my hotel! Who gives service like that these days??? A big challenge was that we set up outside and it started to rain 15 minutes before the event was to start. We had to move EVERYTHING inside! The entire team pitched in to help. Special shout out to Yosuf, the manager, Ryan, the bartender, and the chef (I didn't get his name) but the food was excellent! Please consider Kabana Rooftop for your next event! read more

The last time I was here was a couple months ago and Ive been meaning to write a review ever since, due to such a terrible experience. My boyfriend and I chose Kabana for the rooftop view(this was not our first time). We visited on a Friday night from about 7-9. We did not have reservations but we were able to get a seat at the outdoor bar. We ordered Crab dip, fried calamari and and bang bang shrimp. Did not enjoy a single item. No effort in the appearance of the food either. All 3 appetizers looked and tasted like they were taken out of the freezer and microwaved. We informed our waitress that the food was terrible, we barely ate much, and she did not seem surprised... however she did not offer anything to rectify the situation. The people sitting next to us also had many complaints for their experience. Aside from dining, the view is beautiful, the vibe/music could be much better. Fast forward 5 hours later, my boyfriend and I woke up mid morning, both experiencing severe stomach aches. We spent the next few hours suffering from what was clearly food poisoning. It clearly came from Kabana because it was the only meal we shared alike the entire day. A few days later, I called Kabana to inform them of our experience, I left a voicemail and received a return call a week later. I informed the manager of the experience and she let me know she would escalate the situation and get back to me. I never received a follow up. I give this place 2 starts because I've been here a few times, once to celebrate my birthday with which I brought 6 other guests, and this was by my far my worst experience. This place has potential, possibly just not the proper management/staff. I do NOT recommend eating here. read more

I had the worst experience tonight here. We were pushed to the side while they allowed a big party to go through. When we finally made it upstairs we were placed in a corner with no lights and no service. Even after complaining we still received no help. The waitress eventually came and told me to fill my order at the bar. We ended up leaving due to the lack of service and it being cold. read more

This place treats you like garbage. The service was so slow. I'm easy, that's fine. Thought I'd make a whole night of the place. When we received our entrees two and a half hours after our reservation time, we were told we needed to leave in twenty minutes for a private party. I was mad, I'd lost my appetite and asked for the check. We'd spent $100 a head and we're getting shoved out like garbage, and didn't even eat. We tipped 20%, not her fault, right? And asked to speak to a manager. We was unapologetic and said he didn't care. Couldn't comp a drink? And do rude. read more

First of all the seating is awful and uncomfortable. This is not the place to eat, if you like to drink maybe this is a good place. We were seated and waited an hour and our food never came out, our waitress didn't check on us not once in the whole hour to refill or give us an update on our food. Mind you it was 50 degrees outside 20 floors in the air and we were freezing the whole time, the outside heaters did not perform. We left due to freezing weather and negligence of the staff. I DO NOT RECOMMEND read more

If you're ever in Richmond this is an awesome party spot. The club is located on the top of the Hilton hotel where we're staying. I really enjoyed it cuz it's pretty cool to have a club right on top of the hotel so if you get drunk you don't have far to go all you have to do is walk down back to your room the dress code was good the dress code is business casual no hats no sneakers which gives you the type of crowd that you want. The club is very spacious and open couches everywhere outside on the balcony the music was good the atmosphere was very nice the dance floor is quite big two bars and all the bartenders are very friendly. There's no cover charge which is awesome the drink price is pretty reasonable didn't try anything on the menu but the prices were good also. read more

This bar talks a big game for being in such a small city. It would be fun if it wasn't either dead or slammed full of people. Went this weekend and my sister couldn't get in because of her ripped jeans. The policy made no sense because I have pictures of multiple people from inside the club with ripped jeans, flip flops, and shorts. read more

The place was filthy...the chair and the table had gum, stains and spiders... in the restrooms, the toilets were dirty . And on top of that, we had to pay a fee of 50 dollars to book the table. The service was terrible, we have to wait 1 hour for the waitress and other like 30 minutes to get the food in the table. The only good thing was the view. read more

Not worth the time. Worn down and looks like it has seen better days. Service was not great and the food was way overpriced for Richmond.

Food was over priced for the poor quality. Half of the meal never showed up as well. Waitresses and waiters are slow, dim witted and rude. STAY AWAY! Better view and food across the pond at legend brewery!! read more

Going to keep this real short and sweet. Their Daytox brunch every Sunday - Do not waste your time. If you go you'll find out why.

Hello Foodie Community, Now, this post isn't about the food of course. This is a cool place to just relax and meet new people and mingle a little. Now if you're expecting to mingle, sit down, kick your feet up...this isn't the place lol. You're going to have to take a couple of laps around the spot to feel the area. The drinks can be a bit on the expensive side but everyone knows that if you don't have the money to pay for a $14 drink. You may have to skip the Sunset Sunday events for the occasional Applebee's 3 dollar margaritas. I'm just playin, but I'm saying. Great place to take pictures for sure. Angles honeyyyyyyyyy! Enjoy, Foodie Tee read more

Great view of the city & a really nice atmosphere, I will definitely be coming back! The ceviche, Brussels sprouts & pimento cheese appetizers were all delicious. The tacos were dry & not very good. Drinks were yummy and the sunset was spectacular. read more

Terrible service. I waited for almost 30 minutes after being seated and never had anyone attend to my table. I got up and left and no one even noticed. I was excited to come and heard strong recommendations, but left disappointed and had a way better time at the Mexican restaurant down the street. read more

Soooo I would give this place 5 stars had the music not been weird and techno until 11. We were told then music would change to upbeat at 12am but I guess there was enough pressure to change the foolery that was being played. We were seated and greeted by some muscle man after one of the lady hostess that didn't know what was going on. Allie came did a FREAKING GREAT JOB! We came here from South Carolina and truly felt likE VIP!!! She was attentive, FUN and personable!!! When we get a chance to visit again "SHE" can take care of me and Hubby! Thanks Allie!!! read more

Fun Saturday night. You can wear jeans but no flip flops. The drinks were good. Bae ordered wings which he said was just average. Great diverse upscale crowd. People were dressed nicely but not pretentious. Would highly recommend. Hopefully this lounge remains classy. read more

Kabana Rooftop was an okay experience. We had a 6pm reservation. We arrived right on time, around 6:05. We were a party of two. When we arrived the bar staff told us someone would be with us shortly. When the hostess arrived, we asked could we sit in one of the open seat with a canopy because it was a very hot & sunny day. She expresses that there were no seats available on that side and told us we would have to sit at the sky bar. So as we are walking by the canopy seats, we asked her why couldn't we sit there and she expresses that every other canopy area seat blocked off for social distancing, which still was mind boggling because the way they are already sectioned off, they are already setup for social distancing with plenty of space between parties. And the one that was available, they said they were saving in case of a larger party. So we didn't trip. We just went with the flow. When we get around the corner to the sky bar seating, this area was jammed packed, elbow to elbow, no social distancing at all. So I was like REALLY? How can you sit me here with no social distancing but then say the social distance area was off limits? So I asked for a manager. The same lady who sat us came back and asked what the problem was? I hate I didn't get her name because she was rude and ignorant. So I expressed the issue to her and she says well I cant explain why you cant sit there. Another party arrives with 3 people and they were seated in the open canopy seat that we inquired about. Plus there was a party of two in a canopy seat as well. So here reasoning was just not adding up. So I told her I wanted to see a manager. Not another hostess or waitress who cant help me and who knows nothing. The manager finally comes and says the sky bar should be set up for social distancing but the staff didn't separate the seats properly. He then went to offer us one of the blocked off canopy seats for the inconvenience, so that was a plus. The moment we sat down they brought us cold water and menus. We started off with drinks. $13 Sunset Margarita & $13 Blue Horizon. Well, for the price, these drinks were trash. I only drank about a third of my drink and my friend drank maybe half. They just didn't live up to the price, the name, or the descriptions. We had such a bad experience at the spot before that we were unsure if we wanted to order any food but we bit the bullet and ordered the Pork Belly & Watermelon Skewers. OMG! Now, these were amazing. Seasoned well and very tasty. I would have never thought to grill watermelon, let along with pork. It was a great combination and delicious. Our waiter Meredith was attentive and kept checking in with us. Because of covid and limited seating, they limit every party to a two hour window. Just at our two hours out waitress expresses the rules and told us we would have to be ending out visit soon. We were actually prepping to leave anyway, so two hours was long enough. I would probably return to Kabana if they had some kind of special event or party. But I am okay with or without. The view was nice from certain sides of the roof. The atmosphere seemed pretty chill. The music was decent. So overall it was a decent experience but definitely not the best. And still unsure what $40 paid for??? read more

Great bar with a great view of the city. Awesome place to catch a sun set and some happy hour drinks. The bartender Alexa makes an incredible jalapeno margarita! Highly recommend it read more

Visited Kabana Rooftop for a late night drink and snack. The DJ was spinning, keeping the crowd dancing. This spot has a nice diverse crowd. We enjoyed the food, and the Frozee (frozen Rose) I believe. For some reason it always looks like a little confusion in the lobby when coming up. Other than that nice place to visit. Starting to get chilly, so if u want to party on the roof get there before temp drops. read more

security was so rude. This is the worst customer service over ever experienced. they pick and choose who to let in. They wouldn't let me in because I had on a crop top but there were multiple girls in there with their butt cheeks out and had on crop tops as well. I tried to ask the security a question and he kicked me out because he said I was yelling when I was really trying to talk over the loud music read more

Really great view! The food, service, and drinks range from meh to good. What's really outstanding is the view. I went for dinner with my wife and our dinner overlapped with the sunset, which was really nice to see. read more

This place is happening WOW! I felt like I was in Miami with the white sofas and greenery. The views are what just blew me away. I think this is a great spot if you have family or friends visiting and you want to show them Richmond with a hip and fun scene! They have wine on draft read more

Update: I came back to give them another chance. After my first visit the general manager invited us back. I will say the quality of food was much this time around. The seats were dry outside. The waitress was very polite and friendly. They checked on us frequently. We had no issues with an allergy accommodations this time. I really enjoy the atmosphere of the rooftop and I am Glad I gave them a second chance. I enjoyed Kabana when I first arrived however as the night went on the quality of food went down. Our waitress Hawas excellent throughout the evening. My party was seated outside which has a beautiful view. I really loved the ambiance. However after we were seated we noticed our behinds felt wet and we realized the cushions seemed dry to touch but after sitting the water dripped out from underneath and on top which caused our pants to be wet. The group next to us noticed as well. We requested extra napkins to sit on which helped. When we first arrived we ordered a bottle of wine and a few appetizers. Everything was delicious, calamari had a nice taste and the Brussel sprouts were very good. As the rest of our party arrived, we noticed a change in the appearance of food and the calamari was very spicy. We questioned why the same meal tasted so different and even the presentation was different (second time came with beans and a salad). The waitress mentioned the chefs changed. So we continue to order and two items we specifically requested no cheese due to allergies however they both came out with cheese and one of the ladies I was with started to instantly breakout in hives. I couldn't believe the chef made that mistake twice with us. After that incident we asked to speak to the manager about the chef. She removed those 2 items from our bill and we left. The manager didn't apologize however the waitress did and she was great the entire time. read more

I've been to Kabana Rooftop several times and I've been to Soul taco several times but the combination of these two is who doesn't want a lobster empanada and a drink with a rooftop city view?! They're definitely onto something here read more

I came here for the grand illumination happy hour at 5 with my friends. We ordered drinks at about 5:15 and at 6:15, we still didn't have drinks. It seemed like our waitress was avoiding us. Several times, we looked for help and received nothing. Around 6:20, another waitress comped our drinks. The excuse given was that they were short staffed and didn't know this many people would be here. Oh! The grand illumination was a joke. We only saw 2 buildings light up. read more

Party of 3 with 7 pm reservations. Knew there wasn't a specific dress code but entered behind a young female sized 14 with azz cheeks hanging out from her obvious booty shorts. We were there for dinner and a sunset butt (lol) not for the strip club. Greeted and seated by friendly hostess and approached by Mike our waiter who was extremely friendly. Served margaritas which were good. Ordered cheese ziti, ribeye and calamari. My husband said the ziti was good, my son said the fried calamari tasted like metal and my ribeye had no charr and tasted like old meat it, had something they pretended was red wine sauce poured over it but instead tasted like a weird watered down Heinz 57 . It came with some skinny asparagus that was droopy and dry because itI was cooked to death. The manager credited me back the steak s and I ordered chicken wings instead. I asked for buffalo sauce on the side. Wings were super salty and tasted old. Oh well, the view was nice and so was the jazz player. read more

The view was spectacular, the hostess was mildly indifferent and in half an hour the waiter never noticed us though he walked by several times. It was plain to see he was overwhelmed. A view can only compensate for so much when you want a beer. We finally walked out, unserved, feeling crestfallen and invisible. We recovered nicely at the Penny Lane Pub. read more

I was disappointed with bugs, seating accommodations, the menu, the waitress. I visited the website and the menu offer was not a good choice. Please review your receipt before paying. First and last time going there. I could go on, but we made the best of it. The crowd was younger, and dress code need to checked at the door, read more

Totally disappointed and should have read the reviews before choosing this place. Took a coworker for dinner and we both ordered the ribeye steak and asked for it to be cooked medium. When the meals arrived, both steaks were well over cooked. I pointed out to the waitress and advised that I would eat it, but that the cook should receive the feedback. After battling to chew the steak, I left half of it on my plate. The waitress eventually came back by and asked "how was everything?" She noticed the fact that half of my steak was uneaten, but showed little concern. Brought me the check (with no pen) and was not seen again before we left. Even though this place is highly convenient due to the proximity of my Hotel, I feel like I would have a hard time visiting again and could not rightfully recommend. read more

Great views and good drinks! Fun place to hangout. Went in December so too cold to sit outside. Want to go back in summer

Poor customer service from wait staff and bar managers. The waitress have no clue of what's on the menu. Bar manager changes price of drinks every time. Took the waitress 30 minutes to take our order. Gave this place a second shot and waited longer than 1 hour for service. The bar manager was of no help and said "not everyone knows who you are" after asking to just be treated like a normal customer. Long story short, no matter who you are, this place doesn't care about its customers. read more

The wait staff clearly knows there's an automatic 18% gratuity included no matter the party size as the service was terrible. We went on a Wednesday night for drinks and appetizers on an 80 degree day and the place was empty. Once seated we waited 10 minutes before asking someone for our waitress. Once she finally arrived I order a margarita with mezcal she had me repeat it three times. I waited 10 more minutes before the bartender came out and asked me what "Moscow"was and once I told him mezcal he thought that made more sense. We finished our first round and sat there with empty glasses, once again we had to find our waitress who was by the kitchen on her phone. This time we ordered beer and wine to keep it simple and hoping it would be fast. It took about another 10 minutes before it was brought out and they never cleared our empty glasses. Because of how long everything was taking we figured we should put in an order the next time she came around. It had been at least 15 minutes we never saw her so we asked another waitress if we could place an order with her she said she couldn't take it or relay it but she would find the waitress. Another 5 minutes later she finally arrived so we ordered Ceviche and Bang Bang Shrimp. The fried shrimp took over 30 minutes to make and somehow the raw fish took almost 40. Once she finally brought it out she asked what else we needed. Which clearly we needed plates, napkins, and silverware however, we still had to ask. We waited 5 more minutes before asking a bus boy who proceeded to only bring three napkins when there were four of us. At the end when the manager asked us how it was we told him the truth (we didn't want or expect anything) but you could tell he didn't care at all as he made one excuse then said thanks for the input and walked away. It has been a few years since we had originally been and this visit confirmed why we will never be returning. The only reason for two stars is because of the view otherwise I would avoid this place. read more

Kabana is Always the move on warm nights, love the set up outside.. and the new menu amazing

Honestly I had high hopes for this place. I went with my friend we arrived a little before 8. The host was quick to seat us. About 20 minutes later our server Sebastian finally arrived at our table took our drink order. Another 20 minutes pass and still no drinks no water no nothing. Listen I understand if it's busy, a full house, people dancing everywhere, just chaos. But it was a Wednesday, full of empty tables, it was pretty slow and they had two bartenders. If you forgot about us just say that. We eventually decide to move to the bar where we waited another 10 minutes for a drink. And it wasn't even good! How're you gonna be called kabana and can't make a decent mijito? Don't get me started on the tacky uniforms. The only reason they got 2 stars is bc and the music was good. Wish I could comment on the food but the terrible drinks were enough to leave. And $30. Great views but not worth it. read more
