We came here for happy hour and was pleasantly surprised by the overall experience. The place offers a great atmosphere with a beautiful view, which definitely adds to the charm. The service was also very friendly and attentive—special shoutout to Liam, who really made our visit enjoyable. The drinks during happy hour were strong, which I personally liked, though that might not be for everyone. I tried the featured happy hour cocktail, but unfortunately, it wasn’t to my taste. Thankfully, Liam was very accommodating and offered to replace it with a different drink, which I appreciated. As for the food, I did try the oysters, but I found them to be quite small and underwhelming. If oysters are what you’re coming for, I’d recommend checking out Hydra instead, as they offer a better selection during happy hour in my opinion. That said, the rest of the experience more than made up for it. Liam was incredibly attentive and friendly throughout our time there, and Archie, the manager, was also very down to earth and welcoming, which really stood out. Overall, I had a great time and would definitely recommend this spot to friends—especially for the view, drinks, and service. Just hoping the oyster quality improves in the future! We celebrated a birthday and sat outside on the patio which was still warm and covered during the rainy evening. The set menu we decided on tasted wonderful and the portions were more than enough. I’d recommend the mushroom arancini! The steak was cooked perfectly and served with 4 different sauces. Our server Amy was very accommodating throughout the entire night. It was great celebrating here and it will not be the last! We came to Parker Rooftop for our anniversary and we had a great time! We came in while happy hour was happening so it was quite busy, and the space was a little tight because there was rain earlier and no outside seating available. There was also another event occupying the main seating area so the bar and kitchen seemed so busy too! Despite how busy things were we had a great server (shoutout Megan T!) who was very attentive and kind. The Happy Hour cocktail was delicious, and the mains were so yummy (lobster ravioli especially!). We got a little gift of some champagne and a brownie for dessert and those things really made our night! Would love to come back on a warm summer night to experience the patio!

I had such a great experience here! The service was amazing — Charles took such great care of us and very attentive. I ordered my favorite cocktail and not only did it taste incredible, but the presentation was stunning with such thoughtful little touches. We tried a variety of appetizers and each one was so good! the fish and chip cone especially was a standout. Overall, everything from the service to the food and atmosphere was spot on. Can’t wait to come back!

Went here for a graduation celebration, and got the view from the outside patio. So gorgeous. Our food was delicious, and our server (shout out Kayleigh!) was absolutely awesome! She has the most amazing energy and really made the night special for us. 10/10 would definitely recommend!
