    The bathroom was trash, no soap. There was actually bar soap sitting there. There was paper towels coming out of the trash came all over the place. The service is very slow.  I’ve been Here before, but this experience was much different. And it seemed like a bunch of kids were running the show.

    We sat in the enclosed area (winter time). The service was very slow. Also our waiter did not get the order correct and he was not attentive to our table. I had to go the to bar to get plates and silverware/napkins when the appetizer was served. The appetizer was over heated and dried out. The other food tasted good. He never came back timely to check on us after food was served or have our water filled.
    High Bar Clayton RooftopResponded on March 4, 2025
    Dear LAURA, I’m truly sorry to hear that your visit didn’t meet your expectations. It’s disheartening to learn that you experienced slow service and that the appetizer wasn’t cooked properly. Your feedback is incredibly important to us, and we take it seriously as we strive to improve our dining experience. I would love the opportunity to make this right, so I will reach out to you privately to invite you back for a much more enjoyable visit. Thank you for letting us know how we can do better.
