It was my first time going up here and the views and old fashion did not disappoint!

Go-to spot with friends and family. The drinks are pricey but are magnificent! My boyfriend loves to make new drinks at home, and this place even knocked his socks off. Phil, the bartender we have talked to a few times, is friendly and quick with his service to everyone. We will definitely be back again!

Recently they have changed the furniture and design in order to maximize the revenue generation potential. They have over stuffed the space so that now you can't pull your chair out to sit in it without running into the people at the table next to you, and the design is terrible to look at. You now feel like you're sitting in a furniture warehouse, with a great view. They have also reduced the size of the food portions by half and still charge the same high price. I've changed my rating from 4 to 2 stars.

We only had beers, but the sunset view was gorgeous! It is definitely worth stopping in.

Great fish tacos, but fish batter may need a little more salt, but they were still awesome! 3 fish tacos were enough for me and I eat well.

Came here twice during our stay. Food was wonderful and so was our same waitress we had both times. On the last visit the host was too busy texting on his phone to notice we entered via wheelchair ramp (for baby stroller). He ignored us so we sat down. Not a single person acknowledged us for about 10 minutes. My wife saw the host come clean an adjacent table and asked for menus. He told us the table we were at was reserved and so were the surrounding ones. This was like 3pm on a Thursday… maybe 15 people tops, it was so slow. Anyway we moved to open table. Still no server came over. Host was back in his phone. Did he not tell the server he sat a table? Finally we got service after our prior server recognized us from the day before. She saved the visit because we almost walked out.We stayed and ate + drank and left. Reservation holders never came during the hour we were there. Reservations at roof-tops never work. They end up ticking off more people than the ones benefiting from it. Especially during Covid when restaurants are begging for any and every table to have a customer.That host should not be working in hospitality. Not at a Hyatt. Not that host would know but we were VIP guests from Seabird next door who spend big $$$ at hotels, so I don’t like being treated as if I’m in the McDonalds line. At a nicer hotel every guest should be treated with the highest regard to hospitality and with extreme professionalism.

4 stars for the view because it was awesomeeee!Only got drinks to enjoy the view. The drinks were decent. Nothing to rave about. Mine tasted like juice. It didn't taste like it had much alcohol but it hit me later lol.Didn't try the food. Saw food other tables ordered but it didn't look compelling enough to get. They served mostly Mexican fusion on the menu like tacos, fries, ceviche, so on.The service and staff were lovely and happy to help. The view was beautiful!!! If you're coming here, it is obviously for the view. It would be fantastic if they spruce up the menu with better tasty food options and cocktail selections. Most places like this are banking on the view and not worried so much about drinks or food.The bathroom was clean and very modern. Definitely high-end type design. It was so nice, I could hang out in there haha.They mentioned renovations are coming to redo the look, feel, menus to bring a better experience. I can't wait to come back when it has the new look!

Great view and staff just lacking some liqueurs that most places would have. Wife tried for 3 different ones and was shot down until her 4th ask. No whipped cream or even regular cream for friends Irish Coffee and barely warm with no way of heating it. Also no hot tea for me the DD.

Enjoyed a nice spot by the fire. Food was delicious. The tortas tasted so good. Ceviche is highly recommended. Our server Samuel was really good. He was on top of it. Made everything perfect.

Crafty food with great flavors- unexpected but interesting presentation on the elotes (comes on the cob) flavorful fish and shrimp tacos. The best part about this place is the restaurant's outdoor aesthetic and beautiful ocean views. Fantastic place to catch the sunset! Great date spot! We requested blankets several times but never got them (a little cold and breezy up there).They also have fire pits that help (when turned on). A nice drink menu with some drinks cleverly named.
