    Not many people in the restaurant so service was surprisingly slow. Nice atmosphere and everyone was very friendly.

    Everything was great for food and service. Drinks were fantastic. We went after dark and the view was of a very lit up Home Depot and Walmart, which was less than amazing. My only real criticism was that all of the small plates were delivered at the same time. I would have liked to see them staggered a bit so we could linger a bit longer and enjoy our food/drinks.

    First time going and didn’t realize it was small plates only. Food was good and plated well. Only thought there was brussels sprouts were pretty oily but cooked perfectly. Wanted a window seat but seems only groups got to sit by the window view

    Excellent experience. The view was amazing. The cast iron seared crab cakes were exceptional. Our waitresses was informative and pleasant. Highly recommend this restaurant.

    Excellent to have a modern, rooftop bar / restaurant option within walking distance of several Evelyn Byrd Ave & University Blvd hotels. Ambiance & vibe is spot on. Great to have a wall of windows and an open air balcony. A lot of the view is of businesses below but mountains are in background. All of our dishes & drinks were enjoyable and well presented. This is a small plate, sharing restaurant so their style appears to be to keep bringing plates out rapid fire. We weren't halfway through the first round of plates we were sharing before they delivered the plates each diner was to eat by themselves. We felt rushed and the table was a jumble of plates. I would advise ordering a bunch of plates, then see how hungry y'all are before ordering a second round. This will give you time to sit, chill, and enjoy the experience.

    Mid-week visit may be the case. Crab cakes were dry and brussel sprouts swimming in oil. This despite having heard the opposite from family members who visited previously. Will give them another try, as service, views, and ambiance are great.

    While I thoroughly enjoyed my meal my husbands was not so great. I had the short rib with a jalepeno and cheddar polenta with tomatillos. It was absolutely Devine. I could’ve eaten another plate of it. However, my husband was less than satisfied with the amount of meatballs he had with the meatball pomodoro. They were very small and the whole plate itself was very small. Hardly an entree. This is the only reason I’m giving them 4 stars instead of 5.

    Overall, my husband and I love this restaurant. We went there a few weeks ago for the first time and had the best experience with a sweet, bubbly but sincere server and the most delicious dinner. The cost of the food is very reasonable considering the quality. Today we went at 5 PM and had a completely different experience. The food was good, but our server was flat, almost rude and not very welcoming.  As hard as I tried she did not even attempt a smile. Maybe it was just an off day. Either way we will be back. Beautiful restaurant, can’t wait to sit outside!
