   Shortage of staff put a lot of pressure on our waitress. Too many tables, not enough staff. Staff were visibly frustrated. We stayed for 2 hours and had 2 drinks. Probably would have had a lot more but our waitress just couldn't get to us.

   Dining by the pool on a cold winter day was magical.

   Great place to pretend you’re at a resort in Miami enjoying brunch when it’s -27C outside!

   Fabulous service, we were never waiting on anything. Food was delicious, great social hour with half price bottles of wine, and reasonably priced cocktails. Can’t wait to go back

   Our server was nice and prompt to start service. We sat down at 5:38 and she came at 5:40. We didn’t get our drinks until 6:11, which wasn’t our server’s fault. (Only reason I was watching the clock was to see how long we had before happy hour ended) Our server brought water out to us while we waited, but then left the tray of waters on our table while she handed water out to her other table. It was just an interesting thing to do considering there were tons of open tables around us. The two heaters by our table were broken which was weird for such an upscale hotel bar that promotes poolside dining in the winter. There was a party of 20 out by the pool as well and we were told that it might slow the service a bit and that she will try not to forget about us. I thought that was a weird thing to tell your table. And then we were told the reason it took 30 mins for our drinks was because they were doing shift changes and lots of the servers were cashing out and using the computers. Again, an odd thing to say, and simply just not how most restaurants operate. (Usually the people starting for the evening just hop right in while the day shift cashes out etc) The drinks were fine. Very average and definitely not worth paying full price. I booked this for a little relaxing start to the evening of my boyfriend’s birthday, but it was was the exact opposite lol. I wouldn’t recommend going here. You’re better off getting some drinks and staying in the nice hotel room.

   This is the most decadent, satisfying happy hour menu I have ever encountered, anywhere, ever. The meat was all melt in your mouth, the pickles exquisite. Top shelf, all of it. The only reason I did not give 5 stars for service is that while my server, a lovely human who made my 89 year old Dad feel at home, others have prompted to write the facility privately. Still highly recommend.

   This pool should be adults only - there are plenty of public pools for kids to swim in the city. It’s uncomfortable there are bachelor parties drinking and doing shots, while there are kids splashing around screaming/fighting over the music. The vibe is adults only so just make it adults only. I wish there were more booking options to choose a table, lounge chairs, or couches. When I arrived at noon, the place was really messy. Cups and dirty dishes. Groups had clearly been gone for a while and the tables hadn’t been cleared in a while. Unprompted, the wait staff asked us multiple times for our names, which made them seem quite unorganized.
