I wanted to try something different and go out alone. Truly a great experience the hosts and waiters checked on me regularly. Even gave me a cheesecake for my birthday. My only suggestion is that they do a better job wiping down the tables after guest. Other than that it’s a very lovely spot I will be returning.

While the food and ambience are great here, today I was disappointed in the service. OpenTable users beware - they will not accept your dining rewards here although they claim to do so. They told me the dining rewards card declined, but upon calling the card company, their system showed that the server never attempted to use it. The lie left a very bad taste in my mouth.

Not the same at all as it once was. Totally new menu, with extreme prices, and not quality food. decor is cheap and it used to be open and have a great view of the valley. No longer the case.

Their tipping policy. Ugh. There is a 15% charge added and it’s all over the place about being a no tipping place. Check comes out with a gratuity spot that has been highlighted by the server. Ugh. Ugh. Ugh.
