    Appalling they named this place Mr Purple after they destroyed the Garden that he spent his most of his time constructing.

    Not sure what all the hype is...overpriced mediocre drinks. Do NOT get the Mr. Purple cocktail. It's a premixed cranberry/sugary letdown. Views are nice so maybe just take a pic and leave

    Great view, but the drinks are way too pricey for the low quality. When we complained about a Moscow Mule being too spicy, they poured some tap water in it...

    Didn’t really like the crowd. Nice rooftop but outside parts can often be reserved for parties.

    Great view but terrible service. The waitress ignored us and was really rude. She asked for a credit card at the first moment we sat at the table. Nevertheless the food was nothing special.

    Very bad attitude from both the manager and the stuff. Worth of actually suing them. Very posh and snob place. Just a pretty face, nothing else.
