Food and drinks were excellent and come with a hefty price. Would really only recommend for the summer months - though it may be much busier at this time.

Drinks and views were okay. But the parking situation was misleading and horrible. The website publishes that parking is $14 for 3 hours with a validated ticket. We ended paying $30 for 1.5 hours! Very upset and will not go back.
