    Such a great experience! Make sure you request a window seat as that’s the best part of the experience. The burger was amazing and the drinks were strong yet delicious. Opt for the duck fat fries!! When you’re done eating, step out onto the balcony to watch the action and hear the roar of the highly engineered engines

    The restaurant isn’t big but it’s good in size. The food is great and service is spectacular. The best part is the view.

    I took my husband here for his birthday and it was a better experience than we could’ve imagined. The food was incredible and the atmosphere was amazing. My husband loved being seated by the windows and he was able to watch the cars on the track as we enjoyed our meal. Excellent staff! Would definitely recommend and come again!
