The James Roof Top A Glowing Review of Dim Lighting and Diminished Expectations

You know that “famous atmosphere” people rave about? Yeah, I think it died of neglect sometime around 2017. The place is so dark it feels like they hired a vampire as the interior designer. I spent ten minutes trying to read the menu before realising I was actually squinting at the back of a drinks coaster. Then I realised it was in French! French! French! Oh, the colonial shackles still remain.

And speaking of drinks—bring a small loan. You’ll need it. Overpriced, underwhelming, and in my case, tragically flat. They served me the last gassy breath of a dying Coke bottle, like a warm, syrupy goodbye. It took the Jack down with it like a mob hit.

The food? Imagine a chef playing culinary roulette with no bullets in the chamber, just confusion. The menu’s a Frankenstein’s monster of global cuisine stitched together with the culinary wisdom of a drunken YouTuber. It’s like mixing ten types of paint and wondering why you got poop brown. There’s no theme, no focus—just culinary jazz with all the wrong notes.

Now, they say the place starts to “come alive” around 11 p.m., and sure, I saw some signs of life—mainly in the form of tipsy people discovering they still have knees. Before that, it’s a glorified waiting room for disappointment. You’re better off eating somewhere that knows what the hell it’s doing, then rolling in late once the alcohol goggles are issued at the door.

Music-wise, it’s DJ-based—which sounds good until you realise it includes a guy playing digital tabla like a hyperactive monkey who just discovered Spotify. Fun for two songs, annoying for twenty. But hey, the locals were into it. Then again, so is cheese mold.

Now, the views—those are supposed to be the big draw, right? Except they’ve filled half the windows with houseplants so oversized I thought I’d walked into a botanical hostage situation. I came for skyline, not chlorophyll.

Mingling? Boogieing? Ha. Not here. There's no dance floor, no space, and 80% of the crowd are too busy Instagramming their own reflections to notice the world around them. Trying to meet someone here is like trying to start a conversation with a mannequin that thinks it’s better than you.

The one true saving grace? The staff. Absolute legends. Polite, fast, and clearly operating on some higher level of patience and professionalism that this place does not deserve. It’s like finding a 5-star concierge team working at a Wetherspoons inside a haunted IKEA.

Note to the kitchen staff. Don't send out one person's meal 30 minutes before the others. Try to time your prep and send them out together. I sat watching my friend eat, and he flew guilty and offered me his. Something I don't want to do or I would have ordered the same. Poor service

Final word: skip dinner, come after 10, tip the staff, avoid eye contact with the foliage, and bring your own cola. You’ll...
