Came here to celebrate the birthday. We used a PULSD for the Moroccan themed night. Had a party of 14 people. Everyone had a splendid time. Food was amazing We had the chicken skewers, Hummus and Moroccan Salad for appetizers. LOVE LOVE LOVE. the apps were full of flavor & a great size. For dinner option we had Salmon/Beef / Mushroom plates and those had good flavor as well. The rice and couscous wasn’t as flavorful but if you mixed it with food you’re good. Drinks were good Our waitress was amazing and patient with our party and the Manager was awesome. The dancers were great and they encouraged participation so don’t be shy to get up and dance with them when they come your way. Thanks for a great time We have no negatives at all.

Had a delightful brunch at Elsie Rooftop this Saturday! Jeanny, the manager, was incredibly friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the Smoked Old Fashioned and the Be Mine (Valentine's Day Special) cocktails, both unique and flavorful. The Shashuka and Smoked Salmon Board were delicious, accompanied by a refreshing Elsie De Wolfe. A perfect blend of atmosphere, service, and delectable dishes. Highly recommend!

Food was great although portions were small. Drinks were awesome and strong. Staff was attentive and nice. We were a party of 4 ladies and had an absolute blast during Sunday's Moroccan Nights. Definitely a great interactive night full of dancing.

Lovely venue with a great view of the city. Came here for an event. Unfortunately, the acoustics weren’t audible enough for attendees who couldn’t squeeze in the front. The space is rather vertical vs. an auditorium style that’s conducive for talks and panels. Drinks were great, however, and the hors d’œuvres too.
