I give the marketing team props for making me visit. Unfortunately, this fell wayyyy short of the expectation. Lots of great ideas, but poor execution. Drinks - creatively named but not particularly special flavors. Touting a "craft" cocktail focus but lacking nuance...or flavor altogether. WEAK drinks (& I'm usually a 2 and done - I had 4 in 90 mins on a hot day and barely caught a buzz). Food - ceviche citrus was rancid, kabobs were cartoonishly large, melon salad appeared to be old/slimy pieces combined with freshly cut. Even still, that was the best thing we ate as long as we steered clear from the chunky/cheesy/crema sauce on the plate. Ambiance - They've invested a lot into the general aesthetic / furnishings. Nice greenery & comfortable seating. View leaves something to be desired, especially compared to the Rooftop @ the Jacquard within walking distance. Selfie wall seemed obligatory & tacky. Pool is small, but the cabanas are gorgeous. Staff - friendly, but not polished. Crowd - (Midsummer Friday @ 730ish) = virtually missing. Picked up a little closer to 9 PM but thought it would have been THE happening spot. Another example of "Tictok vs. Reality." Most tables and bar seats were empty. Thought maybe it just wasn't a night many were out, or a lull, but then we stopped by the Jacquard Hotel's Rooftop Bar and couldn't believe how packed it was. We proceeded to enjoy their rooftop, as it had the fun, upbeat Friday bar vibe / scene we were seeking from the beginning. And better drinks.
Absolutely lovely spot. Great vibes, and everyone is amazing. Special shout out to Bridgette- she was extra attentive, and made the experience that much more special.
