Master Critic Review
Le Vaux Rooftop
8.4
A hotel rooftop that leans Parisian garden rather than party deck—quietly high-design, polished, and built for lingering over cocktails and luxe small plates. Come for skyline air and a more controlled, grown-up energy, then eat in a slow, snack-forward rhythm.
Must-Try Dishes:
Lobster Hashbrowns (served with caviar), Spicy Tuna (crispy rice, jalapeño), Oysters on the Half Shell

Logistics & Planning
Parking: Hotel valet available (price varies by time); limited street parking nearby and difficult after 6pm. Rideshare or walking is easiest.
Dress code: Smart dressy-casual leaning upscale—collared shirts, dresses, heels or clean sneakers fit the room. Avoid overly casual attire.
Noise level: Low to moderate—generally easy conversation with ambient rooftop city noise.
Weekend wait: 30–60 minutes without a reservation during peak sunset hours
Weekday lunch: Typically no wait; walk-ins usually accommodated
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes—several vegetable-forward small plates and salads.
Vegan options: Limited—expect 1–2 adaptable options; confirm with server.
Gluten-free options: Yes—seafood-focused plates and salads; staff can guide on modifications.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Yes—romantic, polished, and calm enough to talk, with just enough buzz to feel special without pressure.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Sometimes on weekdays or earlier in the evening; weekends and golden hour are best booked ahead.
Is it kid-friendly? Not ideal—this is an adult-oriented rooftop with a cocktail-first menu and refined atmosphere.
Best For
Better for: A quieter, more elegant rooftop experience focused on design, cocktails, and lingering rather than loud party energy.
Skip if: You want a high-energy scene, full dinner entrées, or a casual, budget-friendly rooftop.
