Stylish French-influenced bistro with a lively rooftop, standout Brussels sprouts, and good hospitality; pricing and occasional service lapses plus a 5% surcharge and rare cleanliness complaints are caveats.
Beau Kitchen + Roof Tap delivers solid A-grade performance through strong food quality anchored by signature Brussels sprouts and rich bistro mains, paired with attentive service and exceptional rooftop setting appeal. However, inconsistent execution on texture and temperature, combined with occasional service slowdowns and isolated safety concerns, prevents grade A territory. The multi-level venue and playful French-bistro approach make it competitive with the area's better neighborhood restaurants.
Downstairs feels warm and rustic with a fireplace glow, while the rooftop brings a lively, view-forward scene. Guests rave about personable servers and those famed Brussels sprouts—one diner said the halibut and orzo made them "pause and breathe" with the first bite. Service can lag at busy times, but the vibe and multi-level setting create a memorable night out. The cooking leans French bistro with playful twists: duck pappardelle, short rib bourguignon, and steaks alongside bulgogi fries, truffle touches, and creative flatbreads. It suits diners who like classic comfort with a modern nudge, cocktails, and shareable plates—especially on Social Hour when value feels just right. Families do well here thanks to kid-friendly staples like burgers, mac, fries, and margherita flatbread. A child even called the pepperoni version life-changing. If your crew is picky, stick to the simpler side of the menu and consider downstairs seating for comfort over picnic benches upstairs.
