We had the best time at this rooftop! We rented it out for our graduation party and it was the perfect time. I want to particularly thank Ricardo for being such an attentive and kind bartender. I would definitely recommend this rooftop for any event or special occasion. Thank you Ricardo!

I recently hosted an event at Highwater and it was great! The staff was very easy to communicate with and were dedicated to making the whole afternoon go smoothly. We were contacted beforehand to go through the menu, flow of events, and were quickly and efficiently helped when faced with a confusion on the floors we booked.
