Disappointed that we could not fully enjoy the rooftop experience as guests were not allowed on the terrace - temperatures were not suitable for outdoor dining; however, guests should still be permitted to bring a drink out to enjoy the beautiful view of the city. Food and drinks were excellent and come with a hefty price. Would really only recommend for the summer months - though it may be much busier at this time.

I had an extremely rude and passive aggressive (manager?). She had blue hair and gave my table sass the entire time. I had a bug in my drink that you could actually see floating around in my cocktail and apparently that was my fault?

I had a little bit of a hiccup with my reservation but the manager Erin was awesome and was able to make accommodations for my group. After that, Henry was our waiter and he was great! He helped us with drink options and was very attentive! Cerise was a great experience.

We had the shrimp tacos and they were very good. Drinks and views were okay. But the parking situation was misleading and horrible. The website publishes that parking is $14 for 3 hours with a validated ticket. We ended paying $30 for 1.5 hours! Very upset and will not go back.
