I loved everything about my experience, great drinks, amazing service, good atmosphere. I’d give 5 stars across the board but wish they had more vegan and gluten free options. I ended up just having a salad which was good but wasn’t enough for a dinner (adding nuts or mushrooms would have been nice but wasn’t available). Lastly parking with validation for a just shy of 4 hours was $37. That is ridiculous.

I hosted my 40th birthday at the Sunset Tower Bar, and it was flawless. Stunning sunset views, oysters, champagne, truffle fries, and a perfectly cooked steak—every detail was spot on. The vibe was chic, the service seamless, and the night unforgettable. Can’t wait to go back!

Restaurant was out of cornbread; however, the chef personally gave us some on the way out from brunch. Wish they offered real maple syrup. Appreciate if butter was not in disposable packaging (to help with environment). Chicken and waffles were good. Yams were a bit sweet; however good recipe and enjoyed them.
