    The service was outstanding, very attentive and nothing was too much trouble. All the waiters were super friendly as well. Beautiful space and decor. Only slight issue was it was a bit hard to hear each other early on as the music was really loud and it was very busy. Overall a great night!

    We had such an absolute lovely time at Above 319. The staff was very kind and generous. The rooftop was such a nice vibe. The staff gave us complimentary caviar and we had mocktails as our non-alcoholic alternatives. The high tea was delicious and very well presented, the tea and mocktails were also excellent. It was overall such a perfect experience.
