Yes, it's hot outside but c'mon, will the entire clientale die within 30 seconds of heatstroke? Fine, no worries, let it pass, walk in just wanting to grab a quick drink at the bar, AGAIN, accosted by the hostess that DEMANDS that I go back to her command center to talk to her, whereupon she really happily informs me that I can't even stand at the bar to have a drink and she would reluctantly put me on the bar waiting list which would be a minimum of one and a half hours... to grab a drink at the bar. tldr; AVOID unless of course, you love being judged at a low rent tiki bar...

Prices are a little high, but that is what you get when you come to a rooftop bar. Service: Quick, nice people. Ambiance: It is a rooftop bar so think lounge-y pool style without the pool. Felt a little like a DC rooftop and a little older of a crowd for downtown, but a nice difference than the cluby and younger vibe that you get around Scotts.

I don't usually do the club type of venues however I decided to go with it for girls night. We of course had to get a bottle for a table. Our bottle girl was a sweet heart and took care of us well. It did get a little crowded but we had plenty of room to enjoy ourselves in our section. I did go up stairs to check it out. Not many people were up there but it was nice. We didn't get food but we did get hookah! It is a small space but we did have a good time. I will be sure to come back during brunch hours or happy hour to see what the food is on!

My mimosa loving homies, go check it out y'all. The brunch was tasty too but the mimosa tower was the main event. The kitchen does tend to get backed up at times so grab a hookah and chill. Ha!

She didn't say she wasn't permitted to seat 6 in that space, but maybe that was the case.

We contemplated taking a 2 top and then a 4 top elsewhere, but the hostess was so rude we decided to leave.

There were lots of questions about the menu that she didn't know, but she was so good about it and found out what we needed to know. The ambiance/decor is very nice and upscale looking. The menu is very limited. There were 4 entrees, and maybe 8 tapas/appetizers. We had the roasted cauliflower (good and comes with a chili like sauce), empanadas ( order comes with 3; they were very dry and served with a lime creama), garlic shrimp (order comes with 5; they were ok), Airline chicken with risotto (very good and flavorful. Risotto was cooked perfectly), burratta salad (lots of arugula, but so much burratta or anything else). For drinks we ordered passion fruit margaritas and lemon drops. Both were delicious! As of right now, I'm not a fan of the restaurant, but maybe as time goes on things will fall into place.
