A classy restaurant reaching towards the sky. Great food that are elegantly presented with an interesting combination of flavors to each dish. I would recommend this restaurant to anybody looking for a romantic dinner (consider yourself lucky if you manage to book a table by the window before sunset.) or just to unwind and relax at the bar.
