Very good views around sunset, steak and fries were delicious and carbonara udon was also very good. Very busy but service did not feel slow, worth reserving and visiting.

The space is cozy and elegant. It's a gourmet brunch with regular brunch items made with interesting ingredients with a spin. We had the fois gras benedict, bagel with smoked salmon with stuffed fried jalapeño and fried avocado, and waffles with berries. All the dishes were delicious and beautifully presented. The service was also impeccable. All in all a great experience. Highly recommend it.
