I’d say the highlight of this place is the view but the food was better than I expected. The wagyu sliders were tasty, the nachos were loaded, but the bang bang shrimp were bangin’. The cocktails were superb too. My old fashioned really hit the spot. Carlos was our server and he was attentive and super polite. Live saxophone music filled the air and the chatter on deck led me to believe this place is more than just a hotel bar. Cheers!

Came on a Monday afternoon a little after 4pm for happy hour and it was pretty slow which was nice. The blonde girl was our bartender and she was very sweet and attentive. We got a few happy hour appetizers and some drinks. Lobster Mac and cheese was alright but definitely needed salt and pepper for some flavor and the lobster was a bit jerky but not bad for $9. Portion size was good. The wings were phenomenal but soooo tiny. The bang bang shrimp was delicious. For drinks we got a $9 draft flight and a few beers. They had my favorite (pumking). My husband got 3 patron shots and I got an aperol spritz after. The drinks were amazing and the food was decent but it’s a bit pricey. It’s a gorgeous view though and service was good so you’re definitely getting your moneys worth.

This is such a great spot! The drinks are great and the food is tasty. The food also comes out very fast. It’s a very chill vibe. The staff was very attentive and our server Christina was so sweet. The view to watch the sunset is perfect and it’s fun to watch the planes taking off and landing.

What a great experience! The view is stunning and the service and food were excellent. We went on a Wednesday night and had the smash burger special. Our server was attentive and friendly and the atmosphere was lively and open air, which was really nice on a beautiful night. The cocktails were on point and sitting by the fire pit was really enjoyable. It’s one of only a couple of rooftop restaurants in the Melbourne area and definitely worth checking out.

We went for a Valentine’s Day dinner and had a lovely evening. The service was excellent and the atmosphere was very comfortable and inviting. Fantastic views! The crab cake appetizer was delicious, and the fresh vegetables were very good. The mashed potatoes were a bit watery, and while the ribeye had great flavor, it was a little too gristly for my taste. Overall, we enjoyed the experience and would return to try some other menu items.

Christina! Super attentive and incredibly personable. Even though she’s a young girl, she has such a charismatic and professional presence. And honestly, dealing with a personality like mine isn’t always the easiest, but she was patient, kind, and handled everything effortlessly.
The food was great, the drinks were good, and her service made the whole experience even better. I’d definitely come back again—Christina made sure of that!

Awesome weekly specials
What better place to bring your kid than an airport! Thankfully, it’s contained pretty well by glass walls so little preston wasn’t able to jump onto the tarmac and get caught in the landing gear of one of the passing airplanes. Seven thumbs up.

Dining at this rooftop restaurant was such a unique and memorable experience. The moment you step onto the terrace, you’re greeted with panoramic views of the runway and skyline — watching planes take off and land while enjoying dinner adds an unexpectedly exciting backdrop you just don’t get anywhere else.
The food was just as impressive as the view. Everything tasted fresh and thoughtfully prepared, and the presentation matched the elevated vibe.
Service really stood out too. Staff were attentive, friendly, and very helpful with menu options. Charlene and Kayla made us feel welcomed and made our experience even better!!
Overall, it’s not just a place to eat — it’s an experience. Great food, great drinks, and one of the coolest views in the city. I’d definitely come back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for something a little different.
