Hedy’s Rooftop — Local services in Washington

Beautiful space. Chaotic atmosphere. Ultimately, not a great experience.

I had been SO excited to try this bar, but when I went I had sooo… many… Issues.

For starters, it’s clear that they overwork their staff. There was one hostess for essentially two bars: one at the lower level and the rooftop bar. In order to have questions answered and to be seated, we had to wait for the sweet hostess to take each individual/group to the upstairs bar and then come back downstairs. How does this seem like a good system for anyone?!

After a wait, my friend and I were seated, so naturally we were disappointed when we didn’t have the greatest experience with bartenders/servers. I am certain they were overwhelmed and overworked.

As a patron, however, it’s difficult to want to go to a place with long wait times and mixed-vibes with service when there are soooo many places in this area where grabbing a drink is...

The place was a bit small since the pool takes quite a bit of space. Food and drinks were great and the view was nice. My only issue was the service was a bit chaotic.

I was part of a party that had a reservation and also was staying in the property. Staff just seemed disorganized and unprepared. They couldn't find the name on their tablets for the rooftop party reservation, cards wouldn't work in the elevator other times and they were having a hard time getting that straight. Hosted in the lobby and on the rooftop didn't seem aware of the names of the parties and everyone seemed to just be running around. Maybe it was just an off day for then, but for my first time at this property it negatively impacted...

First of all, I just want to mention that the valet attendant is the sweetest and attentive person I’ve ever met. Located on top of a cute boutique hotel, the vibes are very chill up on this rooftop bar. The view is great!However, these pictures don’t even do any justice because as simple as these plates look, they are beyond what my tastebuds could ever expect. The duck leg is so perfectly cooked that you literally pull the bone out and shred the meat with a fork and it’s the most moist and flavorful thing I’ve ever had. The deviled eggs were also perfection, I may be biased tho because I love anything with a bit of truffle in it 😅 definitely...
