    Magic Hour Rooftop Bar and Lounge was such a great time and vibe. It was our first time there and we were celebrating our friend, who is getting married soon. Everyone from the woman who checked us in outside the building, to the people we met when we got off the elevator. The bartenders were cool and answered our questions as first timers, with the 2 hour bar pass, and our waitress (I believe was Melody), was great (and her curls were poppin'!). We had a low bar set for food, and even planned where we could grab food after, but the food didn't disappoint and was really good and fulfilling. Didn't get to experience the venue after dark, but will definitely visit again to be able to.

    We were visiting from Texas with friends. Got there at 9:30 pm on a Friday night. We were sat right away and had someone stop by in less than 1 minute to check on us. The waitress was extremely nice and came by often. Ordered drinks and food at the same time but food hit the table first. Ordered the suggestions of some of the signature drinks and specialty drinks. They were ok but we were there to have fun and we def did. The place is gorgeous. Soo many opportunities to take pictures for everyone. The backdrop of the city are spectacular on all sides. Would def suggest it to friends and family

    The bouncer was so rude and ruined the whole experience. The wait staff was not any better so we just left as soon as we sat down.

    Food and drinks were overpriced. Chips stale with guacamole appetizer. Pretzel was really good however. Good place for a quick drink before moving elsewhere.

    We came here for brunch for my daughter’s birthday. The service was good in terms if checking in and short wait times. The food was terrible. We had the pancakes and the taste was bland. The cotton candy on top tasted like cough medicine. The pancakes are really big and the waiters provide really small plates. We ordered sides such as bacon and home fries and the portions were very small. The chicken tenders seemed like they came from a frozen package that you buy at a supermarket. There’s lots of picture opportunities so if you want “instagrammable” pics for over priced bland food then this is the place for you. I will not be returning.

    Went for brunch @11:30 it was so so quiet and relaxing and the weather was perfect. The rooftop was open, and it was cloudy with a little mist and a perfect view. Couldn’t dream of going at a better time. The service was great, The girl who took our order was smiley and so friendly. Our order food and drinks was super quick then again we were only three of a few people there at the time. The whole place was an absolute dream Would recommend to anyone!
