Spot was great. Would be better in summer as you can sit outside. However, great vibe, comfortable and chilled. Gabor was our waiter and was nothing but amazing. One of the best waiters I’ve experienced. A smile on his face , and a real pleasure...to serve us. We wish all waiters were like Gabor. A lovely man. Thank you. Eddie and Nikki.More

We had dinner here including cocktails and some wine and would recommend it for a special occasion whilst in Budapest. Yes this place is more expensive than lots of restaurants or bars, but you couldn't ask for a more stunning location. The cocktails and food...was delicious, the service was good and the views were amazing. My only improvement would be that the music was a bit random and quite loud, so could be more fitting with the surroundings - wasn't really expecting to be listening to Mambo No 5 whilst in a fancy rooftop cocktail bar!More

I would only go in summer, we went in January. The person on the front door had an AirPod in while she walked us towards the elevator which really didn’t seem correct. Another team member who was showing us to our table answered her iPhone...when it rang. I do think however it could have been a work related call. They seem to put people who are having dinner in a different section which had no vibe or energy at all. The food was the worst we had on holiday and the most expensive. Cocktails were really bad too and expensive for what they were. For context the bill was €110 for two mains and 3 cocktails. I’d imagine in the summer you wouldn’t mind though as the view would be spectacular.More
