    Service was excellent!!! Food had no taste whatsoever, very bland food for the price! If you’re looking for views and great service, this is it but be prepared for less than satisfying food taste. Go for a drink, that’s about all it’s worth

    Expensive, but worth every penny! This is the second visit this year. Service is exceptional. Views are spectacular. Food is delicious and beautiful. Drinks change seasonally, but the two times I’ve had a cocktail there, they were like works of art. Take someone you really like there and enjoy.
