Booked the winter outdoor rooftop experience ahead of time for NYE. Service was amazing as our waitress regularly checked in on us.
Waiter Maurizio, I believe his name is, had the best playlist and we couldn’t have asked for better to enjoy the evening!
Would highly recommended to anyone staying at the hotel or in the area.

Came for the rooftop vibes, and it didn’t disappoint! Located on the 24th floor of the Pendry Hotel, it offers a nice view of the downtown area with comfortable seating and a stylish atmosphere. The service was excellent from start to finish. The lobster roll was delicious, and the drinks were just as good. Perfect spot for great food, drinks, and city views.

Food and drinks were good, service was basically non-existent. The server was polite but only made rare appearances. Each time we saw her we asked about our fire and heater not working (part of the reason/experience we booked). Each time she said she’d let someone know. Nothing ever got done. We had a tiny flicker or a fire and no heater while the group next to us had a roaring fire and heat. The other area next to us was empty, but nobody offered to let us move or use that heater. A manager came over and fiddled with the heater once, said nothing, walked away and never came back. Nobody ever apologized or anything. If they couldn’t fix it, okay – but they should have at least told us rather than passing the buck every time it was brought up. If youre going to advertise a cozy fireside experience, you should probably make sure the fires work or acknowledge if they don’t. For the price they charge, I expect better service. Poor management and staff who do not care about the guest experience.

I absolutely loved this place ! The views of the city are great, the service was lovely and the food was nice. Keep in mind that the outdoor seating is limited so make reservations during summer, the inside seating is really beautiful too. It is pricey but worth it in my opinion. They don’t have a big menu but they serve small appetizers and wine and cocktails as well.

they must be known for their absinthe because that was the largest part of the menu. also many good cocktails… a little confusing tho because the server wouldn’t let us order certain drinks because “they weren’t good”. the popcorn was cute but was a very small portion for popcorn (i mean, popcorn is really cheap to buy and to make). however the room was really pretty and the views were nice.

Booked the Chateau Carbide experience on OpenTable to celebrate my husband’s birthday and our anniversary. The whole setup is super cute and something different to do but would say poorly executed. They really need to insulate them better. It was about 35 degrees on Saturday night while we were out there and trust me, we felt every bit of it despite having blankets, coats on, and the fire. It was still something fun and different to do but would have been much better if it was 15 degrees warmer. They also said that they couldn’t turn the string lights in the garland on so that was disappointing for the ambiance and also confusing because they were on in some of the other chateaus. I would still say 4 out of 5 for experience alone though.

So in order to book a chateau, you agree to a $300 food and beverage minimum. The issue here is that the menu is pretty limited. We really struggled to find enough things to order for just the 2 of us to get close to that amount. Unfortunately the drinks were not good. We tried multiple cocktails including the Apres Ski Party and the Star Crossed and glasses of the Cabernet. All were unpleasant to drink. We also got multiple rounds of glasses of Cab (again to get to the minimum) and each time they came in totally different wine glasses and tasted completely different from each other. Mind you that there was only one Cabernet option on the menu.

The food was very mediocre. We got the lobster roll, the sliders, and the short rib. They were all fine but nothing special.

We also ordered the s’mores platter which was probably the best thing we ordered and I would recommend for cute marshmallow roasting with the fire.

Finally noting that we had a 7pm reservation but we were not seated in our chateau until 7:30 because they were running behind with the reservations and they were all full. It is supposed to be a 90-minute time limit so they were likely behind schedule. But just something to note, we were flexible on time so it was fine but you may not want to book before anything that you have to be at by a certain time.

Probably the highest quality sushi I’ve had so far. Oysters were so fresh and their roll is amazing. I enjoyed every single bite of the meal!! Staffs were very welcoming and charming. Atmosphere is very romantic. I would definitely come back!!

Château Carbide provides a top notch experience in a rooftop setting. With patio reservations, you are seated in a comfortable outdoor setting with sweeping views of downtown. Highly recommend to go around sunset for the beautiful orange sky and the twinkle of the city lights. They offer an amazing selection of sushi and premium cocktails. Service was amazing and very accommodating.

What a gorgeous venue for a winter pre-dinner drink and appetizers. I do warn you though the small plates are for 2 people. It also takes over an hour for them to come out so plan accordingly.

The crab cakes were our favorite! The drinks were festive and delicious. We’ll definitely be back in summer.

Note: there are fire pits and blankets set up in the lodges to keep you warm. So get a reservation in advance.
