Rating this on Drinks only as we didn’t have food. (But we have eaten downstairs at Drift and it has always been very good).We are residents and chose to try this new hotel rooftop bar vs our usual support of smaller establishments. The bartenders were very courteous and gracious, so 5 stars, now let’s move on to the drinks. Small drinks that were very low in alcohol for very high prices and I know folks reading this will say, what else would you expect at a hotel bar with a captive audience. Well, The Ray while as expensive, delivers a better experience and atmosphere, despite the water view here. The water view here doesn’t rescue the vibe, which is more corporate meeting vibe vs an energetic, funky vibe like at The Ray. We spent $40 weeks tip for two small low alcohol drinks(doesn’t include parking) Most definitely a vacationer’s spot, which we’ll pass on...

Our waiter was wonderful however it was out of his control because the lead woman bartender told him to stop serving everyone at 8:15 PM What a disappointment went across the street to Boston’s and sandbar had a...
Read moreI booked a 12 person table for a surprise birthday party. I got a call two days before from an employee that helped me sort out all the details. I was able to bring a few decorations before and they roped off the entire section for our party. It was INCREDIBLE. I will never use another spot on the ave for a big party / reservation.
The service was unreal. Marvin was our server along with other staff members that helped for our large party and everyone was unbelievable. We had the best service. A drink never went half empty and everyone had a smile on their face. The Opal Grand is always exceptional and this new rooftop spot made them even better. Marvin needs a raise.
Thank you Elevate for making our experience so exceptional. We will be...
