    Everything about this place is pretty great! The one thing is the food is nothing that will blow you away. It’s good, but it’s not why you go there. It’s very apparent that you go there for drinks and the atmosphere.

    The reservations went well and the table was good. It took an incredibly long time to get the food. We were there from 7:15 (arrived early) ordered appetizers then our whole party was there by 7:45. It took us until 9:15 to get the bill. The Shepard sweet potato pie didn’t have the dishes they were meant to be served in and were very salty mush of vegetables. Brussels sprouts, chicken sandwich and salmon was good but it took like 30+ minutes to get served and restaurant was nearly empty. The dessert (only one) took another 15-20 minutes to get. Ordered a latte and it came cold foamed milk without espresso. By that time, it was so late, we didn’t say anything. Waitress was nice and brought water to table but wouldn’t recommend it or go there again.

    Love the rooftop location with the views. The decor was nice and everything was very clean. The staff was nice, but the service was mediocre. There were only six people dining in the restaurant and it looked like seven or eight people in the kitchen, but it still took quite a long time to get our food. Our waitress was very sweet, butwasn’t super attentive. I had to wave for over to get the check, to get more water, etc. another couple came in to eat and stood at the front for an extended period of time, even though there was staff everywhere l, nobody went to greet. The food was average. didn’t have a ton of flavor and wasn’t presented very well. Expensive for what we got. Lovely setting. If they could bring the service and food up to par, it would be a cool place to eat.

    The food was good but not great. Service was excellent. The setting was beautiful but the energy was so great that it was difficult to converse.

    Food was good, not great, but the ambience and Christmas decor and views were well worth the visit. Also, the portions are quite large so though the menu is on the expensive side, the value is good.

    I thought this restaurant was ok. The atmosphere is great, it's a beautiful restaurant. WILDLY overpriced though. Not a good selection either. As a vegetarian, there was pretty much just a salad for dinner as I couldn't have the vegan shepherds pie. The salad was not very good, and also wasn't dinner-sized at all. The dessert was great, and our waiter was phenomenal. The music is also extremely loud, you practically had to yell at each other. I don't think I'd come back for dinner. But probably for a drink and dessert maybe. Also, they said they validate parking, but even with their validation, I still was charged on the parking garage.

    Dear Sarah, While it was a pleasure having you here, we apologize for any disappointment. Rest assured, we will share your comments with our team to ensure any opportunity to improve our food offerings and the environment for our diners is seized.
