Doors open for ECLIPSE viewing on the Rooftop at noon. Bring your own glasses!

03/23/2024

We thought it was Spring! We added a second duck leg confit or two pork ossobucco which makes this another shareable main as we have sought to make elevated dining a little more affordable. Speaking of sharing, share a bottle of red wine with this and finish with tableside cherries jubilee. : )

03/21/2024

It’s not that hard really! Shareable main courses are one way. In December we made our beautiful white-wine sous vide whole chicken a la carte and brought the price down. Sharing that whole chicken and our pommes frites comes to $47 for 2 guests. Add a table-side bananas foster or our homemade cheesecake for dessert and the bill is still far below $100. Join us for dinner this weekend!

03/20/2024

Join us for Easter Dinner! We’ll have expanded hours. If the weather is nicer than it’s currently forecast, we’ll open the roof up for drinks too. We hope to see you!

03/02/2024

Along with Mertens Prime for dinner as usual, the Rooftop is open this Saturday and Sunday! Limited service for drinks. From 3pm both days. 🌞☀️🌞
