The two of us had great food (Angus burger (good amount of fries), shrimp tacos, fried cauliflower w bbq sauce) & drinks, got a happy hour break on a couple of items. Waitress could have been more personable, but service was efficient enough, though not a full restaurant. The bar there had 3 small tvs above it with sports for those close enough. Good amount of couch seating up there, and nice view north of coastal hazy mountains. Could see Santa Cruz island tops on a clear day to the south.

Good atmosphere in general; absolutely TERRIBLE wait time for service. Took one hour to get one drink and then pay (which turned out to be bringing cash directly to the server and telling her to keep the change). There was one server and one bartender for the entire place on a Saturday night that included live music. Those two were clearly swamped, the server even told us so upon greeting. Have more staff for weekends, or seat less people to accommodate a small staff.

A lovely space, nice setting, helpful servers, but pretty disappointing overall.I'll preface that I'm not a big drinker and I'm certainly not super particular. But... Every cocktail at our table tasted like water, especially the margaritas — absolutely flavorless and a total ripoff for $13 each. The alleged "spicy" margarita was a cup of ice, what seemed like 2oz of liquid, and a couple fresh jalapeno slices. Not great.

awesome place! Great views and perfect setting

The food was great. The drink was awesome. I was looking for patron silver but I asked the bartender and he recommended Don Julio - grandfather Or the grandson. I picked grandfather tequila and it was awesome. The server is so nice and The ambiance is so relaxing.???.

Food is okay, very cold because it's on a rooftop and you get the entrées with the starters. The stuff is very friendly.

Great views, the fireplaces are nice and the chairs are comfortable. They won't split tabs for larger parties which is super annoying

Great selection of food and beveragesGreat customer service. The cheese plate with dried was perfect! Great taste

Nice place to take a date and just talk.No live music tho..

Great place to listen to music & great vibe
