Restaurant & Rooftop Bar
A Latin rooftop escape where flavor, atmosphere, and golden hour come together.
The view
String lights, terracotta tile, and a thicket of palms wrapped around an open-air bar. Sunset hits the skyline, the first round lands, and the night just keeps going. This is the kind of place you come back to for every birthday, every "we should celebrate," every Thursday that turns into a Friday.
From the bar
Blanco tequila, grapefruit, chili salt, a long pour of grapefruit soda. The house pour.
Smoky mezcal, cucumber, lime, basil. Tastes like the rooftop garden.
Cava, guava, lime, mint. Low and bright — the easy one to keep ordering.
Aged rum, fresh espresso, cacao. For when the night needs a second wind.
For the table
Sangria, batched margaritas, and a rum punch built to share. From $48.
To share
Latin comfort, built for a crowd. Order a few, pass everything around.
Three grilled-steak tacos, salsa verde, onion, cilantro.
Gulf snapper, lime, avocado, herbs, tostadas.

"Did my 30th here with 40 people. The buyout was effortless and the paloma pitchers did not stop. Best night of the year."
"Sunset, a live cumbia band, and ceviche eight floors over Midtown. This is THE date-night move now."
"The energy is unreal without being a club. You can actually hear your table — and then you can dance."
