The Garden of Eden

"I cannot rave enough about the Santa Fe Bowl with the beef birria! It was soooo good, the meat was well cook and the sauce was amazing. I tried some of my friend’s Skyline Chicken Nachos and those also were delicious. Would go back for the food!"

"We went here a few weeks back and really enjoyed ourselves! We just did drinks and they were worth the price/tasted great! I love a good rooftop bar!"

"Very nice space on a beautiful evening!! The food makes it a perfect spot for dinner/snacks before going out or for drinks elsewhere. Their drink menu is not the most unique, but we had a margarita tree and they were delicious! Very sweet. We also ordered the nachos, without chicken, and I appreciate the servers being accommodating with our request!! The server we ordered from even asked to make sure they didn’t serve it with chicken. The nachos were super yummy, although soggy. I will definitely be going back."

"I visited this location on a Saturday in the late afternoon. The weather was nice, and they were having a wedding up there in one of the sections that was already seated and in the ceremony. The music was a Rolling Stones playlist, which was apropos as the band was in town that weekend and it seemed many of the patrons were there ahead of the show. Alas, the actual bar experience was quite poor here. The fist bartender we queued up for was incomprehensibly slow. She seemed to know what she was doing, she was just absurdly meticulous and deliberate in every action. It took her over four minutes to make what appeared to be a pretty simple drink. Most of that time was garnishing! Eventually we made our way to the other side of the bar and found the bartender there to be much more efficient and very pleasant. He quickly whipped out the cocktails for two groups ahead of us and started working on our order before the other bartender finished lighting a cigar for the two people she had been serving this whole time. The drinks were good, but nothing special. Most were just simple three ingredient drinks that were basic twists on existing recipes. They tasted fine, but were unreasonably expensive for what we were getting. I don't mind paying a premium for exceptional service, or for innovative drinks, or even for great atmosphere. Alas, this place was pretty average on all the fronts. Only one of the three bartenders was high quality (the third one was being pretty short with the customers in his section). It's a rooftop bar, but it's the shortest rooftop on the block, so there aren't really any good views from most of the angles. I don't think I'd return to this place. I can get a drinks of that caliber at most restaurants or bars, usually for less cost, and always faster. And in case your thinking it, while there were a lot of people up there, the bar wasn't what I would call slammed. There was a polite queue of people in front of each of the three stations, a bar back on duty, and no good reason why a quality bar team couldn't be dissolving the line. Oh, and the bathrooms were really hard to find! Everyone up there was asking each other where they were. There were also some pretty bad tripping hazards. some of the carpets were curled up, and there were some gaps in the stone work that were pretty lethal. An old woman got her heal caught in one of the gaps and nearly ate pavement."
