Why does our group of four ALWAYS meet at End of Elm? Because this gastropub NEVER disappoints. During this visit, our server Charlize was the star of the show. After introducing herself and asking our names, Charlize facilitated an optimal flow of drinks, tailored plates, and dessert. Over three hours at our preferred Table 29, we enjoyed the shaved brussels salad, shrimp tostones, and multiple orders of the butternut squash soup and fried chicken sandwich. We capped off the meal with the crumb cake dessert. Particularly excited about this visit, one member of our party did not eat all day; in the end, he conveyed his satiation with a smile while sipping his nightcap amaretto. On this busy Saturday night, Charlize notably thanked us all by name. She, bartender Nick, manager Tommy, and associate Kevin deserve special commendation for clearly working as a team, creating a great vibe, and providing us with another memorable night at End of Elm. We will surely return to Table 29.

I visited Legacy 27 with a group of friends, and from beginning to end, the experience was absolutely amazing! The atmosphere was beautiful, the energy was incredible, and the hospitality was unmatched. I ordered the fried snapper, and it was cooked to perfection flavorful, fresh, and absolutely delicious! The staff went above and beyond to make our visit memorable, providing exceptional service throughout the evening. Legacy 27 truly delivers the perfect combination of great food, outstanding service, and an unforgettable dining experience. 10/10! I highly recommend Legacy 27 and will definitely be returning!**

OMG, First time at Rooftop and this is now my go to place when we want something with good food and a spectacular view/setting. The flat bread is the best you will ever have anywhere, and everything else was excellent. Draft beer had perfect carbonation. Service was excellent. Did I mention that the cost is totally reasonable, actually let's call it moderate.
