Fabulous view and knowledgable and efficient service. Food was not quite up to the level it had been in prior visits, but still quite good. Seemed like crab was not as fresh as it has been before, but everything else—fruit, bisque, risotto—all outstanding.

Food and service were a ten! Our server Dottie was amazing and both the food and cocktails were delicious. Do not skip dessert and their dessert cocktails - the Carajillo is my favorite. Definitely coming back.

As usual, the food was predictably delicious and presented well. Service was exceptional and the ambience was very pleasant. The restaurant is quiet enough that my friend and I could converse without raising our voices. I like this place very much.
