Getting there

Rooftop · sunset 7:56 PM

What to order

Play it as sunset, not dinner. The spreads — whipped feta, tzatziki. Grilled octopus or lamb skewers if they have them. Two cocktails each.

Good to know

Reviews are consistent: small portions, and the view is the product. So do not fight it.

A 7:00 PM reservation seats you for sunset at 7:56 PM, which is the entire reason to be here. You have already eaten at Hinano.

This sequencing is the win of the trip: dive-bar burger at 5:45 PM, rooftop sunset at 7:00 PM, and the whole evening costs less than one mediocre dinner would have.
