    Made Reservations for my 60th birthday and was little disappointed. The waiter asked if we were there celebrating anything. We said yes my birthday. He said happy birthday. Went on took our order. I ordered a steak and my steak was too rare we sent it back. I finally got my steak after everyone at our table had finished their meal. Very disappointed that my steak took forever to get back. Knowing I was celebrating a special day. The view was amazing but my service not so much.

    Our server disappeared for at least 30 minutes after we ordered dessert and I had to get up and tell the hostess so we could get our dessert and pay the check. When he came back he didn’t even acknowledge that he had vanished.
