The afternoon was warm and sunny and we found a cute spot in the shade, facing the water. It was such an inviting place to take in the view and have a drink, while we sorted out our itinerary for Savannah. We were never pressured to hurry up and order or to hurry up and finish so they could turn over our table. It was truly a wonderful experience with a great view. We ordered a beer and a Strawberry Schooner cocktail and later on shared a pasta appetizer. The cocktail was well balanced, not watered down or overly sweet. The pasta dish was definitely freshly made and was satisfying for a quick bite for a mid afternoon snack. Jessica, our server, was attentive but not intrusive which topped off our satisfaction with Top Deck Bar. We could have sat for hours, but wanted to get out and about exploring Savannah. Be sure to add Top Deck Bar to your stop while in the area.

While most of the rooftops are regularly accessible to the public, there's something about Myrtle & Rose which has caused it to elude us. Often, it has been closed for a private party, or perhaps it was full. In any case, we finally were carded and sent up the elevator with the slightly aggressive doors. Yes, they close fast. Keep a move on! We were offered a table overlooking the river and served by Will. My wife enjoyed her Amber Hour, and I an old fashioned. I suppose they don't want us getting tipsy and falling off, since my drink may have had 2 or 3 ounces. A good little taste, but not for long for this Wisconsin boy. Let's not go down the road of it being a "real" old fashioned -- I know and enjoy both kinds. (You must when you also own a distillery.) The two shining points of the evening were the view and our server. This spot offers a nice, close-up view of the river from both directions -- perfect for the occasional ships passing in the night. Our server, Will, was very professional, attentive, and thoughtful. By the end of the 50° night, Will had brought a blanket for my wife. While we can handle below-zero temps at home, there's something about 50° on vacation that gives us the shivers. Perhaps it was the dress -- I'm not sure, since I wasn't the one wearing it tonight. Anywho, finally a great experience was had at this well-done rooftop bar.

The whole place was beautifully decorated every corner felt cozy, cheerful, and perfect for the season.

Overall, it was a great time with a really nice atmosphere. Definitely worth checking out if you're looking to get a. Nice drink.

Verenice was the BEST! Give that girl a raise or a promotion! She was doing it all! From taking orders, bringing food out, and cleaning up tables! She helped us navigate the menu/ordering. She also brought out our food to the table and was so helpful during our first time here. There were lots of ramen options to choose from. You choose your broth and meat option and that tells you your price. You can add extra toppings for additional costs. Runs about less than $20 a person. They have fountain drink options as well as other Asian drinks. They have rice bowl options as well as meat on a stick. They don't have kids meal options but it's about $8 for noodles and broth. Which is a good option for kids. I ordered shoyu broth for my son. I didn't realize it would taste so salty. I understand it's a soy sauce broth. But most ramen broths I've had isn't to that degree. I asked if they could add hot water to the hot water to make it less salty. Verenice again was so helpful, she brought the ramen back out and said if I needed more water added to just ask. I will say I did not appreciate the additional comments from some of the kitchen staff. The place is decorated with lots of anime characters. They have a vending machine with goodies. A claw machine with stuffed animals and lots of Pokémon cards for sale.

Not sure how they worked their magic but the shrimp seemed almost calamari-ish and was pretty unique. They also have a happy hour before 6pm and some of the items are discounted including oysters at 2.50 each which is hard to beat. It is not a large place so reservations are recommended. We typically like to sit at the bar but when we went last night, the bar was already packed. About 10 minutes after being sat, some spots opened and the host came back to ask if we wanted to move to the bar.

Expect seasonal menu changes at Lucia Pasta Bar. Also, while seated at the bar overlooking the open kitchen, we noticed the restaurant is very focused on portion control and pasta is carefully measured out which explains a more modest serving size. Most likely you won't need a "To Go" box and will finish your meal in entirety. One of my favorite items here is the Caesar Salad which our waiter asked if we wanted to share. Yes, please - we assumed it was large enough to share and indeed it was. Very good. The Tagliatelle Bolognese ($25) is a classic and yummy. A reorder. Also enjoyed was the Campanelle ($22) with crispy shallots. The Grandma Jacovino's Steak Pazzalaiolo, ($38) topped with marinara and mozzarella arrived smothered and covered, and made me wonder what the toppings were hiding. We ordered the steak, in addition to our own entrees, to be shared. Unfortuantely, we all found the steak fell short of expectations and was noticeably chewy and lacked tenderness. Not a reorder. This Starland District restaurant is small and will require a reservation. You'll find yummy classic coktails here ($14-$16) and a limited red and white wine menu.

Prices were on the higher side, but the ingredients are fresh- so that makes sense. The food was yummy and in love the size of the fries. We'd definitely come back here for a beer or two, but it's not high on our list. It was just an okay experience for us. Great addition to the area though.
