We came here for a late Valentines dinner at the bar and had a great experience. Service, food and drinks were stellar – well done all around! The scallops and lamb lollipops were both done phenomenally!

We stopped in this place during our New Years trip, and we enjoyed it! The bartenders were kind, drinks were good, fair prices. But I will highly recommend the amazing view, definitely a place to try if you’re in the area.

Top floor bar and grill, with an expansive view, full bar and a short wine list. Service was very good, but the order didn’t get to the kitchen. The server did catch it after awhile. The Lamb Lollipops had a good seasoning on them, were overcooked, but still tender. The Fregola accompaniment is excellent. The Truffle Parm Fries have good flavor, are wafer cut, but come with catsup.

Great view but furniture outside should be replaced. The chicken wings were undercooked. The waitress was great and the drinks were good. Order the smoked old fashioned

The food at the rooftop bar and the hotel staff were amazing. The apps we ordered were the deviled eggs and brussels, delicious. I tried all the entrees. The chicken was my favorite but they were all so good. We were there at sunset which was gorgeous. I regret not getting any pictures of the food in that golden hour.

Friendly service, fantastic view (7th floor of aLoft hotel), cool vibe. This place was super clean, open and airy. It was sufficient for a birthday drink and nibble.
One star off service. I don’t like to be ignored and made to ask if I should sit, wait to be seated, if there is table service for drinks or bar only to order a drink… etc. It wasn’t busy staff engaging in convo with one another mostly.
The cheese and charcuterie while visually pleasing was lacking. Meats were more like deli meat you would consider for sandwiches. Probably fine for anyone who eats with their eyes. I eat for taste. Cheeses did not have flavor. I can’t make this up. Overall the board did not meet the mark for us.
My wine (Chardonnay) was just okay. There we 2 options on the menu but was told only one was available. Not sure what was poured. Light and almost watery. That light. My husband had a smoked Old Fashioned. No complaints.
As locals this was our first experience with aView. I most likely will return for a second experience to compare but it’s not top of my list given the initial experience.

We visited for afyer dinner drinks. The espresso martinis were exceptional. The views were stunning. It was fun watching the different boats go by. The USS North Carolina battleship is across the river. It’s very sunny so take sunglasses. We enjoyed the visit. It’s on top of a beautiful old train depot but nicely renovated. Next time we will have dinner and stay later for the after sunset lights and vibe.

This indoor/outdoor rooftop spot with a limited view of the Cape Fear River is a convenient place for Aloft guests to go for food and drink at the end of the day. It’s a little pricier than other venues on Front Street that are just a five-minute walk away, and the food is varied in quality: the Bison Burger (with salad) in a brioche bun was satisfying and filling; but a salad with a medium-cooked salmon addition was unimpressive, the salmon clearly frozen, tough, and overcooked. There’s a reasonable choice of draft beers (can’t speak to the cocktails) and, as darkness falls, the flaming patio heaters and tabletops add a bit of magic to the place.
