"I booked an 8pm reservation for 10 at this rooftop cocktail bar to celebrate my birthday and have been to this bar before. However, I would not recommend coming here with large groups or celebrating a special occasion here. Overall the experience wasn’t horrible but definitely could have been better when comparing to other rooftop bars downtown.Pros: they let us drop off my birthday cake ahead of time, stored it in the fridge and didn’t charge a cake cutting fee the view from the rooftop is great, nice place to take pictures they let us sit without our full party being present. I had a reservation for 10 and several people were late.Cons: there are not misters, permanent outdoor fans or even much shade. In 100 degree weather we were miserable even at night. They were using 1 of those huge old fashioned outdoor A/C units in an area with 6 large tables/groups of people and had it pointed away from the tables so it really didn’t help at all. The Marriott Hotel probably needs to invest in installing permanent mounted fans with misters, other rooftop hotel bars definitely have these… the cocktails were disappointing, pretty sugary and nothing fancy or exciting. My espresso martini was fine (not great but not bad at all) and I liked the pina colada drink which was very sweet but still tasty the service was not good. Our waitress was not bussing our table and just let the trash and empty cocktail glasses stack up, with 10 people and a cake it was really awkward. We had to ask her to take empty glasses away more than once. She also failed to bring napkins, silverware and plates when she brought out the cake which we were told when calling ahead of time would be provided no problem. After reminding her, she brought spoons which was weird to eat cake with and eventually (took like 30 mins) of her going back inside and bringing 1 thing at a time we were able to get the cake cut and served with plates and spoons. my reservation was at 8pm and I was on time but the bar was unable to seat us until 8:20pm, we had to wait for quite a while for them to have our table ready"
