We just had cocktails on the roof this time. You have to pre book and pay a deposit which is deductible from your bill. The views are spectacular and cocktails very good. My husband had a chilli margarita and I had the signature gin cocktail. I would have given 5 but we were given a table on the open side so windy we could hardly hear each other. When I asked if we could move to the covered more Sherrie’s side I was told there were no tables. However, when I walked round to look myself there were two free tables not reserved and when I asked another member of staff, they said it was fine to sit there.. it took a little while to be served but when they did the staff were very friendly we did take lots of photos so I would definitely recommend this and if you can get in for a sundowner the sunsets must be spectacular. You do need to book a few days in advance though as slots from 5 pm get fully booked.
