    Superb spot, excellent service, wonderful food, beautiful glassware, cold cocktails. Fantastic views! We shared the corn fritters - a must. Pillowy and sweet with summer. Excellent burrata and heirloom tomato salad, plus "chopped up wedge" salad with bacon and blue cheese. Hit the spot!

    Fantastic night for a couple fine dining. Food and service were excellent. The old fashioned was aromatic and smooth. Prices were too high for drinks compared to similar level fine dining.

    Place came recommended so our expectations were higher. Food was average from perspective of location/price range. There is no reason for us to visit this venue for the second time.

    The food was atrocious, worse than airline food. The prices were laughable for the lack of quality. The martini was good but for $28 it was still grossly over-priced. Service was not great. I sat there for over 30 minutes trying to get someone’s attention to order another $28 martini. The view is always great however there was a large streak of bird crap on the window in front of us that was quite distracting. For a $52 piece of chicken with runny mashed potatoes, the window should have been at least clean.

    You can't ask for better atmosphere, better service nor better food. This place is extra special.
