Wonderful and friendly staff! Nicole was super accommodating in seating us when we didn’t have a booking! Lovely vibe inside! We ordered through an app and drinks showed up super speedy but both cocktails (Long Island and Whisky Sour) were a bit underwhelming and quickly got diluted by the ice stack! We got their signature lobster roll, fried chicken bites and duck tostada and truffle fries. Fries were the best! Tostada and fried chicken bites were over-seasoned. Lobster were a bit toothsome (not in a nice way, sinew/connective tissue still attached to the flesh). Manage the hype and expectations

Super trendy rooftop bar with a vibrant feel and clientele to match. Not a place to go to for a quiet relaxing drink, but if you want something fun and hip this is a good place to be. Food is quite good - especially the Arancini, wagyu burger, and lobster roll. Drinks aren't bad but not mind blowing either, also a little pricey. Staff are super attentive and absolutely lovely. The coolest part is the fact you don't even know it's there, you basically walk in to a little old office lobby and catch the lift to the roof.

Came on a Monday dinner. The bar is actually rather hard to find from the roadside until you notice the name on the internal building's floor directory board. Was looking forward to the Lobster roll but was sold out. Truffle fries is a must-try, battered in truffle oil for the taste, though not oily at all, and generous sprinkle of truffle flakes. Cocktail Lost In Paradise was a beauty too, a steal at it's promotional $11. Wagyu burger was average, decent meat thickness though cooked at Medium, and unfortunately with the truffle fries on the table, the regular fries was meh. Used my $25 Dine voucher

Epic work week. First full week back in the CBD office since March 2020. Smashed some cocktails—a pleasantly minty Summer Negroni ($21) or two, and a Markers Mark Old Fashioned ($22)—with the work family. A quartet of scallops ($21) served on the shell with a smear of romesco butter (not the best combination I’ve encountered) helped me not get messy before I poured myself into an Uber and got home in time for tea. With The Rook mere metres from my office, I guess there are some advantages to being back in the CBD.
