It is found tucked behind the building with only a small, letter-sized paper sign marking the entrance. No flashy signage, no obvious storefront, which adds to the appeal if you're into that kind of hunt. Walking up to it late at night can be a little intimidating but it is well lit which I greatly appreciated! Once inside, the space is dimly lit and small, which makes for a genuinely intimate setting. I'd say it's good for a quieter, more conversational vibe rather than a loud night out. We went with the bartender's choice: pick a base liquor, then two words to describe what you're after. I went with vodka and "slightly sweet, refreshing," for $18. The bartender nailed the brief but it wasn't a drink I'd think about again or specifically order by name. Solid execution, forgettable flavor. Service was the real standout. Our bartender was excellent at walking us through the concept and translating vague requests into something that actually worked. That, plus the atmosphere, is enough to bring me back to see what else is on the menu since we made it there just in time for last call so I ended up only having one drink.

The setting does half the work. Evan did the other half without making it look like work. He showed up with the right energy -- not the fake "how are we doing tonight, folks?" energy, the actual useful kind. Knew the menu, didn't recite it like a hostage. Recommended the trout and a cocktail that wasn't the first thing on the list designed to extract $18 from tourists. Both landed. When something needed adjusting he handled it before we had to flag anyone down like we were trying to land a plane. Busy rooftop, people waiting, drinks flying. He still hit the table at the right intervals instead of disappearing for 20 minutes or hovering like a drone. That's rarer than the view. Food was solid rooftop American. Drinks were properly made. Service was the reason it felt like a good night instead of "pretty view, whatever." Ask for Evan. Tip him like you mean it. The mountain view is free. Competent service is not.

I have only one prior experience in playing mini golf, wasn't good at it, but I came to be supportive and shoot content. We didn't know what we were doing, which did impact the experience as we didn't get much direction after purchasing our tokens to play. We did ask a staff member since we were completely mini golf-illiterate who helped. My sister was under the impression that we would have all the holes to ourselves, but that was just us being inexperienced and not knowing how things worked. When we got towards the end, there were a lot more people playing, so we didn't finish because the area was packed. What I loved the most about the experience were all the different scenes or holes. My favorite was the Wizard of Oz because of my love for Wicked. I gave the business a five-star rating because the venue was very camera-worthy, colorful, inviting and clean. My lack of knowledge on how to play has nothing to do with the venue's offerings, staff, etc. If I had better skills, the experience would've been top tier.

I ordered the wings, hamburger egg rolls, and a Coke, while my daughter had a flatbread that was more like a delicious personal pizza. Everything was flavorful, generously portioned, and satisfying enough that I happily took leftovers home for later. The ordering process is simple--you place your order at the register, receive a table number, and the staff brings your food to you. One unique feature is their self-serve beer wall, where you can sample different beers and pay only for the amount you pour. Great food, a fun atmosphere, and a unique experience make this a place worth visiting.

The entire inside is basically covered in flowers hanging from the ceiling, and if you go at the right time, the natural light coming through the greenhouse-like area is absolutely beautiful. Then as it gets darker, the lighting becomes super moody and romantic. It's just such a VIBE. They also have a flower wall right at the entrance that is perfect for pictures. I went here for my birthday this year and took approximately a million pictures. I think the staff may have started getting a little annoyed after we stood there for 30 minutes taking photos, but we weren't in anyone's way, so I'm counting it as fine. The service was also amazing. Our server was super friendly, and once they found out it was my birthday, they offered me a complimentary dessert of my choice. I picked the chocolate cake, but unfortunately, nobody at the table was really a fan. It was VERY rich and had a really strong flavor, so I personally wouldn't order that again. For dinner and ordered the salmon, which was delicious. I ate pretty much the entire thing! There were definitely mixed reviews on the food at our table, though. I wouldn't necessarily say this is a place where the food is going to knock your socks off or make you say, "OH MY GOD, you have to try this." But if you're looking for an amazing atmosphere, gorgeous photos, great service, good drinks, and an overall fun night out, this is absolutely the place. I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 solely because the food wasn't quite at the "you HAVE to eat this" level for me. But for the vibe alone? 10/10.

I decided to give this place a second chance because everyone always raves about their brunch, and…read moreI have to say--stick to brunch! The brunch portions were generous (unlike the dinner portions), and the food was actually really good. The brunch drinks were amazing as well. We also loved the beautiful spring decorations throughout the restaurant. Unfortunately, service still needs some improvement. We had the same server as our previous visit, and he wasn't very attentive. We had to repeatedly remind him about things, and when it was time for food delivery, he couldn't remember who ordered what. Ironically, the staff member bringing out the food did a much better job making sure everyone received the correct meal. One thing that was disappointing was being charged the automatic 20% gratuity for a large party, even though our group only consisted of five people, not six. Overall, there are still some areas that need work, and the elevator was out of order during this visit. However, the quality of the brunch and drinks was enough that I'll definitely be back--just for brunch. And will obviously have to request a female server when I book

I gave her the caveat that Alex (the bartender) can put whatever spin on an old fashioned he'd like to. He definitely delivered with this lovely Old Fashioned that had a nice smoky flavor from the usage of chocolate bitters (rather than traditional angostura).

First off, walking through the lobby and checking out the art is worth a visit on it's own. We also checked out a holiday market outside before warming up inside with a cocktail. I don't normally go for holiday drinks because they're often so sweet, but I ordered the crimson hearth which was similar to a negroni with bourbon and it was excellent. It was served in an ornament on top of of a garnished glass that I then poured over the giant ice cube... great presentation. It was rainy, cold, and foggy so we couldn't really take in the views, but I hear they're spectacular.
