    Claimed they had a 2 hour table limit. Then asked us to leave the table before being able to order more drinks.

    Overall, view was great. Food was good. Service was subpar. Definitely over priced for what it is, but cool place for a little happy hour.

    First time there, and will definitely back! Great vibe. Service was not bad by any means, just a little bit slower, but that is expected given how busy the place is. Overall, thumbs up.

    It took 30 minutes for us to get our table and we did have a reservation. Probably would’ve taken longer if we had not kept asking. We ordered a bottle of Tattinger’s and the server brought it over, opened it, and set it on the table. No glasses, no bucket to keep it cold. We then did not see her the rest of the night. We had to ask for glasses from the bartender and he came back over later to check on us. There also was already a tip added on because our party was large, so even though our server did nothing I still had to tip her.

    Enjoyed many of the small plates that our group shared. Truffle fries, charcuterie Bento, seared tuna stack, and especially the Italian flatbread were all outstanding. Archi-techs Manhattan and the perfect old fashion were also great. Loud and energetic. Service was also good.

    We went there last night and the automatic shade did not work to open our deck area to the outside like the area next to us, no liquor to make a last word martini that was on their menu as a standard drink, and no seared tuna. Not a great experience. They need to step up their game. Great views from the outside though.

    Drinks were good but the kitchen was incredibly slow. After waiting an hour and a half, we cancelled our entrees and went elsewhere. Unfortunately, I don't see us giving this place a second shot given how incredibly slow the food service was

    Celebrated my boyfriend’s birthday and everything was amazing - food, drinks, and service. I’m not sure if they do anything special for birthdays, but I did put it in the occasion when booking the rooftop. The waitress was nice, provided us with recommendations, and she did wish him a happy birthday. Apart from that, our view was perfect! What we got - Food: Baked Ricotta, Truffle Fries, and Pesto Margherita Flatbread Drinks: Old Fashioned, Arch-Itect’s Manhattan, Forest Park Fizz, and Aviation

    I highly recommend going to the High Bar for a meet up after work, before or after dinner, a meeting, or just for some drinks. Wasn’t impressed with trying to find parking and the food. The menu was decent there just wasn’t anything that made it special.
