Set the Mood with a Showstopping View

Ambience is an important part of a great date – it’s the backdrop for your entire experience. That’s why we’ve designed our space with a focus on unparalleled views. Watch the sunset from our rooftop dining area or enjoy a mimosa during weekend brunch as you watch the city come alive below. Our outdoor terraces and rooftop dining offer panoramic views while you and your date share riveting conversation and delightful drinks.

Kick Off the Evening with Hand-Crafted Cocktails

Hand-crafted cocktails are a great way to open up conversation and kick off the evening. We recommend our handcrafted bottled cocktails like our Mint to Be, made with de cana rum, cucumber water, lime juice, mint-infused honey syrup, and club soda, mixed with a splash of lemon bitters, or our Don’t Call Me Shirley, made with rye whiskey, aperol, amaro nonino, lemon juice, and lemon sour.

Love a classic cocktail? Try one of our elevated classics like our To “Quila” Mockingbird, made with Corazon tequila, crème de violette, lime juice, and jalapeno ginger simple syrup for a spicy kick, or our namesake, UP in the Air, complete with Reyka vodka, St. Germaine, blackberry simple syrup, lemon juice, and a garnish of mint.

Chef-Crafted Dinner Selections

While our customers always love the view and drinks, our Southern-inspired small plates with a twist complete the full suite of delights. Our seasonal menu is crafted by our regionally recognized chef and made with locally sourced ingredients. And, no matter what your dietary preferences are, we have something for everyone on the menu.

Love mushrooms? Start off the meal with our Local Mushroom Risotto in a red wine reduction or our Roasted Mushroom Flatbread, served with caramelized onion, mozzarella and fresh thyme. The flatbread is a great starter for sharing on date night, along with our Dips 1-1-1, a collection of dips featuring sunflower seed hummus, smoked fish and pimento cheese.

For your main meal, we also have several dishes perfect for sharing. The Sloppy Joe Nachos, piled high with beer cheese, bacon, lettuce, tomato, jalapeño and crème fraiche, are a customer favorite, along with other options like the Venison Ravioli, Jamaican Jerk Chicken Quesadilla and our classic Charcuterie Block.

And don’t forget to delight your date with one of our sunset sweets. We recommend our Cinnamon Apple Cheesecake in a graham cracker crust and topped with red hot sabayon. Or try our southern classic, Praline Pecan Pie, served with vanilla ice cream and topped with chocolate-cherry ganache.

And while all this sounds tasty as can be, please note exact menu offerings change regularly, as we are focused on offering seasonally-inspired fare But we promise that there’s always something for every tastebud to be had UP here.
