The food and drinks were pretty good but you’re really going for the view. Great sunset views from this rooftop bar. Spacious with indoor and outdoor seating. Extensive menu of food and cocktail options offering interesting selections typical bar fare.

I actually went to school here when it was Washington polytechnic academy in middle school back in the early 2000s. Seeing this place be revamped to a hotel with a rooftop bar is actually so neat! Came here last week with my boyfriend and we had a really nice time. I got the sunset drink and enjoyed it so much I got another one. He tried a couple different drinks and loved them all. We didn’t get entrees, just wanted a snack so we got the truffle fries and they were delicious actually! The service was good overall. I’m a bartender myself and know how to read the room and knew the waitress was very busy but I think she handled herself well. We’ll definitely be back to experience more. The view is amazing as well!

Food here is delicious! I got a buger that was extremely flavorful. My friend got tacos that she throughly enjoyed and we shared the brussel sprout appetizer. Service was slightly lacking. We would have ordered more to drink, but they took a long time to check in on us. And normally I’d chalk this up to the server being busy with other patrons, but the restaurant was very empty at the time we were there. also was a large amount of servers standing behind the bar majority of the time. Otherwise the service was friendly and food was great. The view and interior was gorgeous.

Service was nice and ambiance was cute but wow was the food terrible.
We kept being told that the meat (for basically everything) is supposed to taste “charred” because of the grill however it tasted like charred plastic doused in engine oil! We tried the salad which tasted like straight up vinegar. Then the mussels came which were the only normal thing on the menu (as they were in a shell and safe from the grill) In terms of drinks – the espresso martini was sugar syrup but they were kind enough to replace it with just straight alcohol.
I felt bad for the waitress as she was kind and we just felt incredibly awkward. It was just inedible even if we tried to move on.

First time here! Stopped in for a snack and drinks before the Pens game and we were not disappointed. Great views from both inside and outside on the deck. Our group enjoyed delicious crafted cocktails and the seasonal Pumpkin Ale. Service was fast and friendly and the seating is great for groups large or small. Apps were fried brussel sprouts, buffalo chicken egg rolls, and roasted red pepper hummus. Next time we’ll order again and have photos to share!

The view is amazing. The food was decent. I had short ribs that was super tasty. The fries were like McDonald’s fries (that’s a good thing). And the avocado salad was good as well. But the service was terrible. We waited at our table a long time while others who came in after us got served. I finally asked a waitress of we could get service. A few minutes later, someone came. The whole time she was not very pleasant and rarely present. She got our one order wrong. We had in corrected but they didn’t keep my dish warm or remake it. So when they brought them out, my short ribs and fries were cold.

Have all the ingredients to be the best spot in Lawrenceville, but fighting against being successful. Amazing views and food, but doesn’t do much good when the servers cannot bring your order to you and take forever to acknowledge our table and take our order. We ordered 3 drinks but only got 1. I try to celebrate and support this restaurant but they make it so hard.

A restaurant with great views, sitting on the top of a hotel near the 40th street bridge. Food was quite good. I had the tuna poke bowl, and though the sauce was a little on the sweet side for my taste, ingrrdients were fresh and the tuna was seared to perfection.

This is a really cool spot and, thanks to the large roll up windows that cover one entire side of the room, there is an excellent view from almost anywhere in the restaurant (not just the awesome outdoor patio).
We ordered the vegan beef tips and they were really good and the food came out quickly. Drinks were reasonably priced and were very good. They have been understaffed while we were there, I’m not sure.
Overall it was a good experience, a really cool spot, good food and drinks and all around worth the visit, just not sure about the staffing situation. We will absolutely be back again.

Beautiful views of the city! We got right in without a reservation for post dinner drinks. There’s a very limited menu, mostly snacking stuff. We ordered a trio of hummus with pita bread that was decent. We didn’t park here but I hear that it’s $10 ..valet parking only and its difficult to find parking anyways in Lawrenceville. Drinks are pretty pricey. I asked one of the bar-backs if we could get a few more drinks and she rudely told me “well you need to go to the BAR-TEN-DER” I mistakenly assumed she was one, but my bad…..she could’ve just said, “sure let me give these to the bartender” or “I have no idea what my role is here other than to look pretty and piss people off so go away” and I would have been happier.
While leaving, there was a huge wait like almost out the door which seemed unnecessary/ artificially created as there were plenty of seating when we left… Overall, if you want a decent drink while enjoying the gorgeous view, this is the place, but don’t expect much of anything else at this point. There’s definitely many better options as far as food/drinks in that area and I have a feeling they will be struggling once the novelty of this place wears off ..
