    Cielo was amazing! Made a reservation and confirmed that we requested a table outside, but just an fyi, it is just a recommendation, so we had to wait for about 10 mins for people to leave so we could sit outside (WHICH WAS WORTH THE WAIT). The view was absolutely spectacular and the weather at 7pm was perfect. Once the sun went down, it was just barely a bit chillier but still beautiful (I run cold so just should’ve brought a jacket, but my fiancé felt perfect). The service was quick and wonderful- our server (name is slipping my mind) was happy to take pictures of us and even took us to a spot with a beautiful view away from our table!! So thoughtful. She was lovely. Our dinner was hot and delicious and we just enjoyed ourselves so much. For an appetizer, we got the salmon crudo crostini, which actually was on a wonton rather than a crostini but just delicious & fresh-tasting! I got the steak & frites and my fiancé got the sea bass and we both very much enjoyed them (steak was cooked perfectly). Just one thing is that the pool music was playing in competition with the restaurant music so I could hear both from where we were sitting, but for the service, ambiance, and VIEWS, i would 100% give this place 5 stars. Totally recommend for a dreamy, romantic dinner.
