    The promotion for the spill the tea event was a bit misleading. Nowhere did it state it was a buffet and that you make your own tea. However, that’s what it ended up being - which is fine but not worth the $65. I’ve done traditional high tea as well as tea events with a twist, but this experience was very underwhelming.

    Once up to the rooftop the older Bartendar was great! Delicious drinks and fun atmosphere. The young guy at the podium down by the elevator was rude and clearly lying to folks about coming to find them if something opened up. Plus he would say it was full even though we could go on Open table and grab reservations. That part was terrible. Once up it was the really great! Worth the view!!

    Dear Lori, Thank you for sharing your experience with us! We’re so glad to hear that you enjoyed the drinks, atmosphere, and the service from our bartender.

    Lacking in the service department. Had to ask for things to be cleared. Asked twice for a new pot of hot water and it never came out. Asked for 2 particular sandwiches and the waiter brought the wrong food. Overall disappointed with the experience

    It was overall disappointing because we expected to sit outside and instead sat inside. It was very noisy inside between guests conversations and loud music. Menu was very limited, I understood small plates, but still it should have some basic items, did not see one thing that I would order, we left.
