    a view of the ocean

    Good view Drinks were not bad, but overpriced for the quality. Bar is much smaller than expected. Second level has some shade, it was quiet and relaxing. Didn't order any food.

    This might be the best rooftop bar to offer an amazing 360 view of the city. Come here for sunset is a must if you want to low key night. There' are some interesting signature cocktails, because they are on the roof so they are only using the plastic cups instead of fancy glass but still taste good. The music is a bit mellow so it's good for people to come if they want to chat. Bathroom is a flight down, and the bar closes at 10pm.

    *Review only based on the Rooftop experience and dranks. The was the first stop of my Girl's Night adventure with one of my close friends. We were easily able to find parking down the end of the street - be sure you know how to parallel park and which roads are one-ways since this is in the city. You will need to walk through the lobby and/or the restaurant through the front or side entrance. You will then go to the back and wait for the elevator to take you to the roof - there was an elevator that went straight to the rooftop and down that evening (I think they may have it set like that for happy hour and/or before the weekend). For our first round of drinks. I got their Purple rain and my friend ordered their Ms. Crenshaw. Purple rain ("Gin, Mint Blackberry, lemon ") and Ms. Crenshaw ("Aperol, Elderflower, prosecco") were both refreshing and almost like sangrias. As you can see in the photos, we were being completely basic and getting views of the drinks on the side of the building and having fun. We were on the 2nd tier of the rooftop and just enjoy the throwback music and company of each other. There was a server that also walked around the 2nd tier and took orders of those who had empty drinks. For our second round, I got the Porch Swing ("Whiskey, Peak shrub, lime, ginger beer") and my friend ordered Letters to Helen ("Bacardi 4 yr, brut sparkling, lime, honey syrup"). The second round was much stronger and most likely got us to our happy place. haha. We got here right around 5:30 so it was not so crowded yet. Service was fantastic and great at getting us another drink. I'm very glad that we didn't have to lose our seats and go all the way back up to the bar to get our refills. I can't wait for the next girls night out, we will be returning to the rooftop again!!!

    I give 5/5 solely based on the viewssss. I'm all about good views and vibes and this place was perfect for both. It wasn't busy at all and was just a nice place to grab a drink and relax. I highly recommend

    Great drinks with great views! seating is limited so Just make sure you lock in a reservation!

    This is the Goldilocks of rooftop bars. It's absolutely on trend with string lights, great views and snazzy beverages. But it's not so trendy that you can't get in or can't understand the ingredients on the menu. It's full of all sorts of people, rehearsal dinners, 50th birthday parties, and first dates. Snagging a table can be tough but once you do the service is there for you & you can just enjoy some light music and great views. Go inside Maple & Pine - walk to the back and take the elevator to 'R' for your Quirk Rooftop Experience.

    Love this place

    I got purple rain it was scrumptious. I'm sad that they didn't have the ice cream sandwiches they sounded amazing. The view is amazing perfect for cute pictures.

The ambience is sophisticated, intimate, and effortlessly alluring. Sitting toward the back of the restaurant created such a dark and sexy atmosphere that was perfect for a relaxed date night. Knowing how much my husband enjoys a well-crafted Old Fashioned, I knew he would appreciate the cocktail selection, and he certainly did. I opted for the Caribbean Queen, which was fresh, vibrant, and beautifully balanced with just the right touch of a delightful kick. Jasper's offered exactly the kind of atmosphere we were looking for--elegant, intimate, and inviting.

Only mushrooms and kimchi. Several people from out group ordered the burger and wing appetizers and all said it was good. So the food was 4 stars, but service was a 2 stars. The waitress Katie was so short with us, seldom came back to check to see if we needed anything once food was dropped off. I wanted a second cocktail and had to wave down another waitress who did not acknowledge me, but did talk to our waitress in the side to get her to go to our table. Side note: Happy Hour drink specials are good, but a very limited selection for food specials. Music was a bit loud so it was hard to hold a conversation.

The patio outside was really cute and cozy, the various seating areas is really great because you get a different feel from different angles. Our server recommended a Mexican lager.. it was SO GOOD! Try the lager!! My only gripe, the downtempo music changed to club music around 12am and got much louder. My date and I had to raise our voices to continue our conversation, we wanted to take our drinks outside but were told the patio closes at 11 :( We got lucky as the crowd was really thin but most weekends our server said it gets packed.. it's such a small place, I can't imagine what it would be like with 100 people inside!!

Their famous short rib egg rolls were a bit burned on the outside so a bit dry on the inside. They did have a very good sauce served with them that pretty well covered the flaws.

The staff is friendly enough, and I was able to place an order quickly. The draft beer selection is really impressive, and they offer a variety of beer styles (not just two dozen IPAs and a light beer option). Where this place fell short was the food. I ordered the Chesapeake Fish-n-Chips, and it was pretty good, but not great. The portion size was good, but the fish was a bit overcooked, and they didn't include the dill pickle aioli that was supposed to be included. I was finally able flag down a server to get it for me, but it took several minutes to arrive. I wasn't offered ketchup for my fries and ended up borrowing a bottle from someone sitting near me. The fries were good though. I had planned to order a dessert, but the server wasn't around. I ended up flagging down someone to ask for my check so I could get to my show.
