Rooftop Patio (New awnings installed over the bar and tables!)

The rooftop is divided into two parts — a dining area and a bar. The dining area is comprised of tables that seat parties of 2 to 6 people. Parties of greater than 6 people are very difficult for us to accommodate at tables. We do not take reservations for the roof — these tables are seated on a first come-first served basis only. There is a two hour limit on these tables and it will be enforced (when we have a wait list) so that guests that are waiting for a table can be given an accurate time estimate on when their table will be ready.

The bar area has room for about 60 people standing.

The rooftop will serves its own distinct menu that is separate from the offerings in other parts of the restaurant. The rooftop menus focus on cool and chilled foods, summertime beers, refreshing outdoor cocktails and bright, crisp wine selections.

Patio Events

Our rooftop is available for rental Tuesday through Saturday night. We offer rental of the entire roof for the entire night, otherwise known as a "buy out." Clients are required to meet a food and beverage minimum for the evening, and we can structure the event a variety of different ways. Between the bar and dining area, there is room for about 100 people and seating for about 50. For more information visit our Private Events page or e-mail Jeremy Barber.

SUMMER 2010 ROOFTOP MENU

In order for all of your food to arrive at the proper temperature, all of the items on this menu are served chilled. We also feel that our rooftop guests will want to enjoy these menu items at a “nibbling” pace, so these dishes are meant to sit on the table for a significant length of time while still maintaining high quality.
