    Gin Lane has a great menu and great service. The only bad thing was the noise level. It is very popular and busy so there's a lot of noise because of that. Add the DJ outside the venue and it becomes unbearable. They should skip the DJ. Thankfully the waitress did move us inside when we asked for a quieter apot so that was great. Inside was nice because there was less people there. The cocktails were the yummiest I have had in a long time. My fave was the Lady Marmalade. I will return.

    The service was outstanding, very attentive and nothing was too much trouble. All the waiters were super friendly as well. Beautiful space and decor. Only slight issue was it was a bit hard to hear each other early on as the music was really loud and it was very busy. Overall a great night!

    We had such an absolute lovely time at Above 319. The staff was very kind and generous. The rooftop was such a nice vibe. The staff gave us complimentary caviar and we had mocktails as our non-alcoholic alternatives. The high tea was delicious and very well presented, the tea and mocktails were also excellent. It was overall such a perfect experience.
