    We had an early dinner on the patio, which was a great view. Food was very good and the server was attentive. We will be returning in the future.

    Experience has gone significantly downward over the years. The only reason to go here is for views and drinks. Food is sorely lacking in taste and quality. Table service, while friendly, is unable to keep up with simple tasks such as removing plates, refilling drinks— and this was on a Sunday evening when the place was no more than half full. Recommend only going for the rooftop bar and booking dinner elsewhere.

    The food was fantastic. Unique and amazing. Ambiance and service were top notch. We even hung out at the outdoor lounge for a while after dinner. Great views. They really need someone taking drink orders, though. Definitely recommended!
