    This place is always a vibe! Been here a couple of times and the ambiance was great. Service could be better but maybe it's due to the busy crowd. I wish the late night menu had more to offer

    Chicken and Waffles

    The Asian fusion chicken and waffles tasted amazing. I loved the mixture of flavors and it's something I would've never tried outside of this restaurant. The ambiance is gorgeous and it's very spacious plus good music. The service got it 4 stars just due to the hostess and server being very serious, not as friendly and welcoming as I'd prefer for a fun day. Also the hookah person does not replace coals, they only do refills which is a bit of a ripoff because coals need changing before a bowl of shisha does.

    Stopped by for a few drinks on a Friday night. I had made a reservation on resy prior. When we got to the front door we were told there was a cover charge for guys although the resy description had no information about a cover charge for 10:30pm. Not a huge fan of that. We were able to grab a spot outside to sit but in terms of ordering drinks we had to walk to the bar on the opposite side of the rooftop to grab drinks and that was the only form of ordering. That took half an hour, we also could not order food outside and were told we would also have to go back to the bar to order food. No thanks. The only highlights I have here are that the drinks were tasty and the views were nice although the rooftop outdoor area is very tiny compared to other rooftops. They have hookah as well which we also ordered which was $60 and it was decent, however they need to change the ordering system and have servers take drink and food orders outside.

    I give this restaurant about 2.5 stars. If you're going here for the music and a good time then it's cool. They play great music but nobody in my party seemed truly thrilled with their dish, it was underwhelming. The server was nice and helpful. I got the crispy chicken sliders & they were ok.

    Stopped by on a weekday so it wasn't crowded at all. We booked a reservation for 5:30pm. When we got there, there was no one at the door to greet us and bring us up the elevator. We couldn't go up by ourselves because apparently it requires some kind of key/special access to reach the rooftop. After waiting around for a bit, we went next door to the hotel. The front desk staff was confused as to why there was no host at the door and no staff to bring us up to the rooftop. He made a call and finally got someone to work the elevator. The guy working the elevator was super friendly and awesome. Our server was attentive at the beginning, but then the service dropped off later in the evening. It looked like she was attending to other patrons on the other side of the rooftop, so she probably didn't see us or maybe had too many tables to look after. We had to ask a busser to please ask for the server at least twice. Ambiance: Some people in our party thought it was tacky looking, while others were fine with the decor. However, we all agreed that the rooftop would be better if it wasn't still mostly covered. The cover blocks out most of the awesome views. Not sure why it's still covered since it's almost officially summer & the weather has been super warm! Drinks were good. Tried a variety of apps: - the pupu platter (choice of 3 apps) was not worth it. Didn't taste the best and seemed kind of pricey for what felt like frozen appetizers. - crab guac and chips were definitely tasty, but was expecting giant pieces of crab in the guac... it was super thin strands that you could barely see. - truffle fries were great (super thin cut so they were nice and crispy). - nachos, pizza, and forgot what else we got, but the rest were not super memorable.

    Late review but I visited this place all the way In July 2023. I definitely Loved the vibes! I went for brunch for a b day gathering. I had a great time. Music was A1 and the food was the bomb as well! Would definitely recommend and I would go back.

    This is my second time coming here. Came in on a Friday night to celebrate my cousins birthday. We had made reservations online. Online, it states we should arrive 15 minutes prior to our reservation time. There was actually no line this time around when we arrived. At the main entrance, you get checked by security. Women only were given tickets for a free rum punch. There was no fee to get in this time around. However, last year when we came we were charged. Once you pass security, you are asked to wait for the elevator to take you up to the roof top. An employee is in charge of taking you up and down. This rooftop is very spacious. Love the decor of this place. There are multiple seating areas. We sat by the dj booth. Dj played great music throughout the night. They switch Dj's throughout the night. We ordered the crispy spring rolls, coconut shrimp, chicken wings, and ribs. Food and rum punch were good. Menu prices are very reasonable for a rooftop. Overall, it is a great spot to celebrate birthdays or just to chill. They do brunches here as well. Fridays, they open until 3am, but their websites state 4am. They need to update their hours of operation.

    This place is unnecessarily loud. Like deafening loud. The food tasty like garlic was the only seasoning. I have never eaten at a restaurant that gives you porcelain plates but plastic forks and acrylic glasses. Yelp offered a 10% discount and bartender had no clue how to use it. I only came here because I wanted to watch the game and I'm at the Sheraton next door. The worst part was the bartender was smoking and were the enclosed part of the restaurant. I believe this is illegal. The only good thing about today's experience is that they had televisions by the bar so I was able to watch the wnba playoffs. I left at half time to finish watching the game in my room. I did buy some wings for later and pray they are half descent. Oh I forgot to mention the hookah smell from the other patrons that came in after me. Not everyone wants to inhale all of this carcinogens. I'll rate the wings later and update this review. I literally had to add to this review because on my way out not one of the four employees I saw said a word to me. I'm used to hearing someone thank me for coming. There was a photographer there and I watched her ask four Caucasian patrons if they wanted their picture taken but this beautiful black queen, she ignored. Her loss because I'm an excellent tipper.

    The ambiance of this place is 10/10 and it's definitely great for Instagram photos BUT the service is not the best. I went with my friend for brunch around 1pm/2pm and they were trying to charge us a cover to eat brunch??? I understand that this rooftop is a restaurant and lounge but charging people to enter who just want to eat during the day is actually ridiculous and it wasn't even like there was a DJ. There payment system wasn't working so we were able to get in without paying the cover charge. I wouldn't have eaten here if I had to pay to get in. The food was good and I wouldn't recommend the bottomless mimosas unless you were planning to stay there for awhile because each individual will get charged and it's kinda a waste of money if you aren't planning to be there that long. I'd say only come here if there is an advertised event with a DJ that you are willing to pay a cover charge for.

    Lovely outdoor ambiance.

    First, let me say I had no "say so" on selecting this location. My sisters selected it for my Birthday celebration. It was a "Birthday Surprise" kinda thing. As soon as we entered the building a rude host informed us of a "cover fee" in the amount of $10 per person. My sisters asked: "Is there still a cover fee If we pre ordered bottles and spent $500 on the pre ordered bottles?" Rude Host: YES! Me, the Birthday Girl asked: "What exactly is the fee covering? Isn't this a restaurant ? We have to pay to get into a restaurant? What is the $10 covering? Rude Host was clueless and dumbfounded. She looked to her Rude henchman security co worker and he barked, "EVERYONE PAYS". My sisters just paid the $30, because there were 3 of us even though they already PRE ORDERED $500 WORTH OF BOTTLE SERVICE. NEVER HAVE I EVER, in all my dining experiences in America and other countries, PAID to get into a restaurant!! Also before getting on the elevator, the henchman searched us. NEVER HAVE I EVER been to a restaurant that searches women's pocketbooks. Anyway, You have to take an elevator to get to the restaurant, we attended Sunday Brunch. Once we arrived we were greeted by a friendly Host named Briana. She informed us we could pick wherever we wanted to be seated. I rated this place 2 stars. One star for the vibe. The DJ was on point that afternoon ( our reservation was for 230pm). It's definitely a boozy brunch and that's it. The bottomless mimosas WILL get you tipsy If not drunk. .5 star for the waiter Bre, who was nice but slow with service. I kinda think the section she was covering was too big. She could of used some help from her coworkers. .5 star for the outdoor ambiance. Got some cute pics outside. The food is mediocre, nothing to even talk about. I don't even remember what I had. The furniture was cheap and rundown. CHEAP RIPPED UP PLEATHER COUCHES WITH HOLES!!! Like you could see, the cushion of the couches through the rips. The ripped up pleather was practically cutting into our skin. Dear Management, How about you use the $10 cover charge your establishment is charging customers to enter a restaurant to purchase some desperately needed new furniture. I will not be back. Respectfully, The Birthday Girl

    Attentive service and a beautiful view. A nice selection of signature cocktails. We didn't try the food- -next time. Try the Chinese Rum Box!

    We came to Kimoto Rooftop looking for good drinks and to relax in Brooklyn on a Saturday afternoon. We were a little surprised that was is a $10 cover per person unless you have reservations I guess. Upon entering the rooftop, you're greeted by colorful flowers and decor throughout. This is a huge space with different varieties of seating, from tabletop, lounge booths, and lounge chairs. It was hard to find a spot at first, because many places had reserved signs on them, and others we were told were reserved but had no indication of it. When we were escorted to another section and told where we could sit, we were eventually told that our table was reserved for another party. Jordan (who turned out to be the manager), was beyond professional and courteous to work with and allow us to stay in our section since the next party wasn't going to arrive for another hour. The vibes and good times (and hookah) are prevalent here, and the DJ was phenomenal with his music selection. The Cereal Killer intrigued me once I saw that it truly had Corn Flakes in it. The strawberry and orange hid the Bacardi nicely, but not making it too sweet. My love enjoyed the White Yuzu Lychee Sangria. When we finished our drinks and paid the bill, Jordan again apologized for the miscommunication and offered for us to come to the bar for shots. We went over and the bartender was VERY generous. It was much more than a few shots in our glasses, we enjoyed being able to chill by the bar, drink, and dance to the music. This is a Brooklyn Gem that's a must-visit for a guaranteed fun time with friends or on a date.

    Yo the food here, trash... however the ambience is awesome. Great vibe, the bus boys awesome... suggested a few things in passing. Our waitress Imani... she was awesome. She knew what it was, saw our vibe and took care of us. Checked in, corrected errors and did it all with a smile. She provided great service. Low key it's 420 friendly - don't blast it out but you can smoke on the outside patio. Great spot for a date. Only reason I'm giving three stars because of the food. We order three dishes and none of them was bustin' Live, love, and laugh - Sha

My top-tier chum who…read moreliterally went to the school of hospitality and I stopped by here Tuesday night prior to the Nets game for some light bites and cocktails - I refuse to buy the overpriced crap at Barclays, so this seemed like more than a good compromise. I also had multiple chums from Brooklyn endorsing this spot, so everything seemed to be lining up for an excellent night. Unfortunately, I'm starting to think you just can't go to places like this on a Tuesday, but maybe it was just a bad night. I got here way before my chum due to our work schedules, literally 45 minutes or so. It wasn't 6pm yet and while there were definitely customers in both the bar area and the backyard outdoor section, it was pretty chill. I was able to secure a small table next to the bar right by the open window in the front (probably because the sun was glaring down on it, which wasn't an issue 10 minutes later) and just chilled out for a while, enjoying the excellent warm weather. This was the highlight of the experience, which unfortunately my chum did not get to enjoy. A lot of this was just unfortunate timing, I think. As I was waiting for my chum, people were practically streaming into the bar, probably about 25 or so, which I watched with increasing trepidation. Pretty much all of them wanted a drink, and there was only one bartender. They did not fix that problem until well into my chum's visit, so there was literally just the one guy making a gazillion drinks for about 45 minutes. Just no reason for that at all, especially given that they DID have the resources to divert and had a young woman back there at a certain point. But once I saw how crazy it was getting, I tried to pre-emptively order a second round, which he forgot about and had to ultimately be reminded of. It took literally half an hour to get the second drink. When my chum arrived, she went up to the bar to order her own drink and some of the arancini. She came back 10 minutes later and said she wasn't given the opportunity - THAT is completely insane. If you're so swamped that customers have to wait that long to even order much less get their drinks, you need help. Not clear where the disconnect was, but what started out as a great experience pretty much crash landed. Really disappointing. The crowd did thin out ultimately but the damage had been done. We were able to get the drinks but didn't bother with the additional app because we didn't want to risk missing a big chunk of the Nets game. So by not being even remotely attentive for a significant period of time, they left money on the table. I will say that the bartender himself maintained his professionalism throughout, and just kept making the drinks. Pretty much the opposite of what would have happened on Bar Rescue. This was on management, not the bartender. The drinks WERE good, which also made the service problems a shame. I got the Witch Doctor, which featured bourbon, rosemary, maple and lemon. Really well made, and appropriate for the unseasonably warm evening - it's the kind of bourbon cocktail made for summer. Would absolutely get that again. And the food was very solid. The star of the night was the arancini, which were featured prominently on the apps menu right at the time and promoted as one of their big selling points - deservedly so. These were honestly some of the best rice balls I've had. The cheese in the middle emphasized the flavors and wasn't too dense or overwhelming, the balls were cooked perfectly, and the sauce (the underrated part of rice balls for me) was delicious. Huge recommend. I also got a margarita flatbread to share with my chum, and that was good as well. Everything was going to come up short to the arancini, but it hit the spot. As mentioned, this was a random Tuesday night when maybe they don't have their full crew ready to rock. Maybe it was a fluke crowd surge? I just don't know, but the bottom line was that they weren't prepared for the customers who came in and were already there, and that's a big problem. If you can't deliver the same quality that you do on the weekends and predictably busier times, then you shouldn't be open that early in the week. Hopefully they figure it out because there's a lot to like here.

I've made it a point to visit every vinyl listening bar that I learn of in town, after enjoying the shared experience of someone curating a select vinyl list in intimate spaces in Tokyo. Few have been able to replicate the experience, but Honeycomb Hi Fi Lounge comes close. That the space is narrow with just a few seats along the bar and a few tables mimics the Japanese experience best, where you can almost have it so the whole room is having one conversation together. The music is the focus. The cocktail menu is rather simple, and my Stormbringer drink, with dark rum and ginger beer was not anything to write home about, but $15 is pretty low for cocktails these days so I'll take it. If they introduced new cocktails to the menu with more interesting ingredients I'd be more inclined to return, but the vibes overall are pretty good and the staff really nice.

    Was brought here by a dear friend, a neighborhood regular…read more The cocktail was amazing, selection very diverse- many hard-to-find liquors, etc. Bartender was incredibly knowledgable and attentive. My friend and I each order a cocktail, and are catching up. I'm from Brooklyn, however I no longer live here, and this was precious catch-up time with my friend. Then I get interrupted mid-sentence by the old-timer DJ from his low seat in a corner behind the bar. I had bumped the bar with my wrist (bumped my wrist watch as well, not deliberately) and then placed my hand down (granted- more than placed but definitely not slammed), and he decided to warn me that I COULD HAVE made his record skip. It was the Eagles or Santana (far from eclectic, but that's just me). I'm also 99% certain he turned the volume up afterwards, making it even harder to enjoy the company. After that interaction, I struggled to pick it back up with my friend, because I found that distraction very effing rude. When this "4th wall" gets broken down with service, it is hard to then enjoy the space in an uninhibited state. I am all for the Tokyo Vinyl Bar vibe, and I'm also for also giving talent an outlet to share their collection, but this interaction colored my experience, and I closed out after one drink and went elsewhere. I mentioned this to the bartender, and he was kind to offer a buy-back of a rare whiskey, which I did accept. 5 stars for the bartender, but 1 for my experience. I don't like to be harsh or unnecessarily cruel, but this is what it is. I have visited in the past and enjoyed myself. Nonetheless, I certainly won't be coming back.

Cocktails are made with various types of rum and ingredients like grapefruit, maraschino, wormwood amaro, falernum, thyme, Assam tea, spiced lime, allspice, coconut, cucumber, nutmeg, sour orange. All the drinks keep with the tropical, fruity taste with a hint of spice. They are also broken up into categories (dry land = no alcohol, shallows = average amount of alcohol, and abyss (larger amounts of alcohol). The abyss section has some cocktails that are limited to two per customer. They have some bar bites like fried green tomatoes, shrimp toast, broiled oysters, ricotta, dumplings, sliders. I had the French fries with kimchi ranch, which were underwhelming. Bartenders were cool and kept the drinks coming. I got in immediately without an issue or a wait, but it was right after a snowstorm. I've seen some people struggle to get in or have a long wait.

    This bar has a very fun fun concept- a bar turned from a former brothel. The motif on the door is a…read moreplay on the 'this is not a pipe' work, which really added to the vibe I was expecting. Unfortunately this place fell very flat. Leading with what we liked: Their mocktail offerings were good, promising a 0.0% ABV which is hard to come across when mocktails are offered. They serve oysters, which adds to that aphrodisiac experience of the oh so 'wow this is a former brothel!'. The bartenders and servers were fast and very sociable with the more sociable customers. The immediate entrance is very tight, and it was uncomfortable navigating the space. We expected there'd be more seating in the back, which there was, but it was limited and not offered to us until we asked for it. We honestly had no clue where it would be and only asked because of how this place was advertised. While it was comfy once we made our way back there, it was reminiscent of a lounge style bar space that almost any bar could replicate with the right room and budget. We didn't feel as though this hit the spot and were let down by this experience. I'm not sure if I can judge the menu of drinks/ foods as expensive, but we left hungry bc we couldn't justify some of the prices. In addition, I've seen a lot of complaints about the volume of the music: it's definitely loud at the front but a lot lower in that back lounge space. It's as loud as any bar's music level would be, but truth be told we were expecting music that matched the vibe of what was advertised and yes, at a lower volume.
