The hosts were not our favorite. It was a lot of no's and turned us off the first night. We are glad we returned to have dinner with Halle as our waitress. Food was great.

So amazing and flavorful, but the drinks need to be a little better it did taste a little watered down not enough liquor or juice , but besides that everything was great and the view was amazing 🤩 and since we were celebrating my birthday they brought out a dessert with a sparkling candle and the dessert was amazing as well ! Service was also 10/10 !

I didn't even tell the team anything about my birthday when making the reservation, but because my birthday is marked on my Open Table account, they had special birthday menus printed up and also gave me a fabulous dessert (with a fun sparkler birthday candle)! It just made the dinner that much more special. Can't wait to go back!
