“Great views of the old city! Good food! Well plated and well seasoned. Definitely would eat here again. Only draw back is not to many kid options.”

First the hotel is worth seeing in itself. As for Rooftop, it has a cool vibe, satisfactorily service and inspired food / cocktails. Great layout and views. It was warm enough despite a cool evening and the background EDM music set the tone. The starting bread was an instant winner and the Salmon was the best plate we tried. Judah Hill cocktail was on point as was the lemon olive oil cake.

The Rooftop restaurant on top of the Mamilla Hotel in Jerusalem offers some fantastic views over the New and Old Cities but, with the exception of some delicious roasted bone marrow I found the food to be unexceptional and the service very poor indeed. Having waited a very long time to be given a menu or offered a drink we hijacked a passing young waiter who did his very best to help and give us what we needed, despite being very busy and working in a completely different section of the restaurant. Without his initiative we would certainly have made a complaint or indeed left. Here are a few photographs of some of the food at Rooftop and a few other places in Jerusalem.

The restaurant is located on the 8th floor in the luxury mamila hotel. When I made the reservation I asked to sit by the window, and the view of Jerusalem was breathtaking. The food was good, worth the price. I was a bit disappointed when no waiter came to take our order and we had to call someone and it took too long for the main course to arrive after the appetizers. AND THE MOST unprofessional thing was that we were not able to leave a tip with the credit card. It was only cash OR "bit" which is like "venmo" or a direct deposit to the waiters bank account, for me it felt a bit sketchy and I did not expect this from a place like this!

The food was very good - but the rest was just OK. probably one of the best hamburgers I've had But the menu didn't match the dishes. Our dish came without its sides, and many of the ingredients were not as describes or just changed up. Very strange, and no mention of this by the waitress. Weird music and it was also a bit cold And the view wasn't as seen in the pictures - much less impressive And we waited a very long time for the food while it was not busy.

I don’t even know what happened. We used to come to the rooftop a lot and last night we went with a big group since I recommended the place. I ordered the shashimi salmon/ and got an avocado shashimi in a bath of teriyaki sauce. It was very heavy . Totally not what I was expecting. The duck for main was actually very good but then when we ordered the malabi for dessert it was like eating butter instead of a light dessert that’s malabi is supposed to be. We had a bite of the lemon cake, you expect it to be lemony sour/ it was more like a puffy shortcake with some sweet lemon on it. What happened to the chef? Bring him back!!! Other then that, I found the service to be pleasant and quick and great. And the view is spectacular. I will come back again, but only because if past expiriance not because of this last time. Cocktails were also very good.

Rooftop was a big disappointment. “Mediocre” would be the best way to describe it. The service started out well, contrary to the other reviews, so we were optimistic, and then we were essentially abandoned by our server. The music is incredibly unpleasant if you are seated by the windows (which is where the view is best!) as it’s loud, with a driving beat (not dinner music at all). The menu is full of inaccuracies - beef tartare is marked as vegan while the cabbage is not - and the server told us to just ignore everything as it was all wrong. And most importantly, the food was just not good. The sea bass was a tail portion that was overcooked and dried out, and the server informed me that all the pieces available in the kitchen were tails. The accompanying mushrooms in mirin sauce were overpowering in the flavour, while the fish itself was tasteless. The taboun cabbage was soggy rather than crispy, and the dumplings were average. After waiting 45 minutes to be asked about desert (AFTE
