Came here on a quiet weeknight by a total mistake!…read more We came to grab some drinks at the rooftop bar and catch the sunset and gorgeous views. When we saw "Water Tower" on the elevator we decided to press it. SO GLAD WE DID. We landed at the Water Tower and walked into a fairly empty space decorated with art all the way to the ceiling, filled with natural light coming in and the views of the skyline were out of this world. We had to try their drinks of course to enjoy with the incredible view. Though the drinks are $21 and served in a plastic cup that evening, I was NOT expecting my drink to be this insanely delicious. I ordered the inferno Paloma which they infuse themselves with- and it was true perfection. By the way, each bar has their own menu which is pretty awesome and makes it even more fun. Also, Axel is the most incredible bartender and we absolutely loved his creations. Later that night we ordered a custom mandarin margarita, with a spicy twist, and WOW. He's truly talented and absolutely made us some awesome drinks that we can't stop talking about. Sunset with a view and a spicy mezcal drink? Yes and YES. We had this place all to ourselves and can't wait to be back. Friday nights they have DJ nights and you can also book the Water Tower for your own private events which is pretty cool!

The atmosphere is chill and It's quiet enough to have a conversation. The service was friendly and attentive throughout. For food, we ordered the following: * 6 oysters * Shrimp cocktail * Smoked salmon rillette * Buratta * Japanese fried chicken * Octopus Everything was tasty! My favorites were the shrimp cocktail - the shrimp were perfectly sized! The smoked salmon rillette were served on the cutest little toasts and they were the absolute perfect bite. I also loved that the octopus came cut up into bite-sized pieces. The desserts were also stellar. We shared the chocolate cake and the special ice cream. The non-alcoholic espresso martini was also delicious! I will definitely be getting that if we go back. I would absolutely recommend Bar Blondeau for a date night or fancy night out with friends.

The couple who owns Kokomo deserve an award, if they don't have many already. The food is incredible. I've had both lunch and dinner. I can't say I have a favorite. But what stands out to me is: jerk chicken, mac and cheese, the lamb. Wait, my fave was the flatbread pizza with pasta and jerk chicken. My partner throughly enjoyed and raves about the oxtail. The mixed drinks were equally exceptional.

Pretty disappointing experience overall. I ordered the ackee and saltfish avocado toast, priced at…read more$28, and nowhere on the menu did it mention that the portion was large enough for 2+ people. It came out as two huge slices of sourdough stacked so high that I couldn't even finish one. For something that expensive, there should absolutely be some indication of portion size, or at minimum the waiter should mention it when ordering. Avocado toast also isn't exactly something you can box up and save for later, so a lot of it just went to waste. Honestly, the menu feels arrogantly overpriced, what avocado toast dish is pushing $30? The only thing that seemed reasonably priced was the $35 bottomless brunch. Overall, the pricing felt excessive and the lack of transparency made the experience frustrating.

Because we had a flight to catch we didn't indulge in the full menu and kept it light with the brined chicken bites and French fries. The chicken bites were juicy, nice crisp and crunch and came with a house ranch sauce and honey mustard. The French fries seemed home made, best eaten while hot! Would've loved some kosher or sea salt on them. I hade a homemade lemonade to drink, nice and tart. And also stole a bite of friends beignets and they were pretty good, I believe it had hot honey on them and the Parmesan cheese was a nice touch. The service was also great! I forgot the bartender name but he was kind and patient with our large group! Pretty accommodating.

I've never ate here, but I recommend grabbing drinks during the summer months when they open the canopy. It's a nice rooftop feel. However, I went on a fall Saturday night and the place was completely empty. I walked upstairs and even wondered if the bar was open due to a chair blocking the entrance. If I didn't ask the waiter if they were open, I would assume they were closed and would've left. If it was near closing hours, I would understand, but it was 2 hours prior to it. Regardless, this place is great. It's extremely spacious and offers a high quality dining/drinking experience.

A marquis of Michael Solomonov's restaurants is that you will never leave hungry. At Jaffa, you…read morewill leave hungry, poor, or both. It is too bad Yelp doesn't allow half stars as I would honestly put this one at a 3.5 and am rounding up. While the quality of the elevated seafood bites is immaculate, they are just that: a bite or two of food, for an elevated price considering the amount of food you get. After spending $76 a person, we were still hungry, whereas that amount would have been enough to feed two average women at another good restaurant. But if you go with an expense account or trust fund baby, definitely get the scallops and the yellowtail pastrami because those two items will blow your mind. Our waitress pointed these two out to us and we're grateful for her guidance because it was spot on. Paying for bread at a Solomonov joint is odd. No dessert menu is odder. Wheelchair access details: The bar is on a terrace. The accessible entrance is through the Hoxton hotel. A staff member will take you through the k'far kitchen and up via a service elevator. No barriers once you are upstairs and plenty of accessible outdoor and indoor/outdoor options, including a small length of wheelchair height bar. A perfectly functional though unexciting wheelchair accessible restroom is available.
