    Shared plates (chili deviled eggs, egg rolls and truffle fries, etc) were decently sized and tasty. Ambience was good and the weather cooperated. Waitress was solid, despite being new. Disappointed they were unable to fulfill my reservation request for an outside table. A table outside of us stood empty and wasn’t bussed properly the whole time we were there. Worth another shot.

    We booked a patio reservation for a girls’ night out for drinks, and we had such a great time! From the moment we met the manager in the elevator to our server, Brandon, everyone we encountered was friendly, welcoming, and made us feel right at home. I would definitely recommend Knoop to anyone looking for a night out to relax, unwind, and enjoy a delicious cocktail—whether alcoholic or non-alcoholic. We can’t wait to come back!

    This is a can't miss spot! Rooftop offers great views of the city. Food came out very quickly and was delicious. The whitefish BLT was on point. Cocktails were made well.

    Our first trip to Knoop was nice. The space is super fun with open walls and balcony facing east in the evening. Some chairs are too low for the tables for some reason and then one person sits way higher than the other. Food was good and a good value. We had to ask for limes for our g and ts multiple times, and our nice server seemed new or scrambled. We'd come back for drinks and hang in the nice space.

    The fries and the aïoli sauce were good. I didn’t like the short rib egg rolls. The cocktails was ok. And the balcony/ outside was closed ☹️the service was good.

    Unfortunately this last time was a terrible experience, even thought I’ve had good experiences at this restaurant before. Please go read the experience I had on Google reviews. Manager did end up emailing me and refunding us for our drinks after getting pretty much sassed and yelled at in front of the whole restaurant. Very unprofessional, will never go back.
