We were early birds so noise level was low. Beautiful view, great service, food was good (cheese board and charcuterie board) bread basket; plenty for 2 people and a nice bottle of wine. I would definitely revisit.

Service was quite slow, our food came out warm leaning toward cold. I honestly was a little disappointed because this place is always jam packed so naturally my expectations were high.
