    We had a small business dinner with 8 people here. The restaurant is very professional, helpful and flexible. The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly and knows the menu well. Their recommendations for food was spot on. The views, the decorations are well aligned with the location and the sunset was amazing. The appetizers are great to share. The main courses were sizeable and melts in your mouth. Overall, a very good experience! We will be back.

    I don’t mind paying the $110 Easter brunch amount but with that there is a minimum expectation that was not even close. Food temperature and service were sub marginal.

    Easter Brunch Buffet was outstanding! The food was excellent. My personal favorite was the lamb and the creme brulee. Definitely something I would do again.
