Great vibes with a beautiful view of the city. Our food was good, but in my opinion not enough depth and variety to justify the price. If you're looking for an impressive date night or fancy night out with friends/family, we'd recommend. But it's definitely a better restaurant for the atmosphere rather than the food. More

Went in for the first time on Wednesday night with my husband. The younger host was rude in regards to a reservation we had made. Besides that our server Sharen was super friendly and knowledgeable about the whole menu and drinks and food was great as well. More
