Everything on the menu we had was fantastic. A large variety for Breakfast and/or brunch. Slightly large portions. Service was top notch. Not a loud atmosphere at all. The view of the city was 2nd to none!

Celebrating Holiday Christmas Party for small group. Service and food was great, however a little disappointing having the 2 hour max time restriction. Could have stayed longer and enjoyed the amazing cocktails we were having.

Incredible food - the beef tartare was zesty and delicious, beef short ribs had body but could still be cut by a butter knife, and the oat financier dessert was a delightful, lightly salty, perfectly balanced dessert - all incredible. The beef short ribs had some of the best umami flavor I've ever had thanks to the roasted puree (I think celery?) they put on the dish. Great drinks as well, try the Bella & Beatrice if you like gin at all.
