My husband and I enjoyed a date night out. We made last minute reservations and were able to snag a table at 8pm. We ordered our usual ranch rings for an appetizer and then both enjoyed a steak dinner. The fillet was cooked perfectly and my husband’s sirloin seasoning was exceptional. Don’t skimp on dessert! We loved the seasonal banana foster bread pudding!

We dined there on December 16th for my husband’s birthday and Carly was our server. She helped us choose all the best dishes and we thoroughly enjoyed our dinner. She even brought out a birthday dessert, and her exceptional attentiveness and service was the cherry on top. Thank you Hestia rooftop and Carly for an amazing experience!
