    We arrived late so no opportunity to try any food, but the drinks were fantastic! The view was perfect with the exception that it happened to be extremely windy so ladies be warned. The noise level was perfect we were able to hold a conversation and the ambiance gave a comfortable level of prestige. Would highly recommend.

    It was a memorable experience all in all. Except for one minor issue, my son was escorting his gf to the ladies room & one of the staff cleaned their table up assuming they already left. They would have lost their table if he didn’t catch it in time. It was a special night for the couple and just glad it did not ruin their date coz the staff made sure they have their table back.
