I was nervous considering some of the other recent reviews but I have wanted to visit the rooftop since we moved to the area 2 years ago so I was willing to risk it.
My husband and I had reservations for 6:30 and arrived around 6:15. We checked in at the front and headed outside to see the view. The bar area is really lively (loud) with lots of after-work friends chatting and sports on TV.
The rooftop is fantastic at sunset. There are two, large gas fireplaces to stand near in cold weather. A nice stranger took our photo with the city in the background and we headed back inside to sit at the bar and wait on our table. At 6:30 my husband went back up to the hostess stand and we were seated immediately.
Our table in the dining area had a great view and was in a much quieter part of the restaurant. Our server was excellent. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and told us how much he loved working there. He said they give their employees holidays off and treat them well.
The Food:
We ordered the Crispy Tempura Rock Shrimp (sweet/savory) and Roasted Cauliflower Steak (flavorful and spicy) apps. Both were good and large portions. However my husband's dish was too cold and mine was just right temperature-wise. (Honestly we could have just had these and two salads and been full!)
I got the Pan Seared Salmon. The fish was good but had started to cool off a bit, the brussel sprouts were hot and the puree was cold. Maybe it was supposed to be but I prefer my entire meal to be warm ;-)
My husband said his short ribs were just too salty. He was so full from the appetizer that he took most of it home.
Even though we were full we split the Candy Bar dessert. It was good but it was crazy-sweet! Great for you if you really like chocolate.
A good experience with the exception of the temp of our entrees. I guess they need to work on getting the food out at the right temperature. I may try it again when the weather warms up and we can eat outside.
