    Es muy lindo el lugar, la vista es espectacular (dependiendo de que mesa te toque), la comida está muy bien y la atención es muy buena. Lo que no me gustó es que algunos platos los sirven en una especie de parrilla que despide mucho olor y en el salón cerrado se siente esa fritura que no queda nada bien. El valor es un poco elevado.

    The service left a lot to be desire. We were not finish with the salad and they place the next course on the table. Again it happen with the next course. Dishes were left on the table and main course was serve. The server was more interested in socializing with co workers . My niece stated that the filet outside the restaurant was better than the food inside.

    Average food quality. However, decent serving sizes. Drinks nor food were too impressive. View, atmosphere, and service was exceptional. For the overall experience the pricing is a bit too high.

    (7.5/10) Great ambiance! I went with my wife to check out their happy hour after hearing so much about it. The food wasn’t amazing but not bad either definitely decent. The $8 drinks are a solid deal, though the flavor profiles were a bit out there and not for everyone. Service was just okay nothing terrible, but there’s definitely room for improvement. What really makes the experience is the view it ties everything together and elevates the whole vibe. Worth a visit if you’re into scenery and chill vibes.

    Clarissa was the worse server we ever had, we go at least twice a month to this restaurant and our experience with food and service has always been excellent until this past Saturday, Clarissa took forever get to our table , but she was telling her life story to a couple next to our table, she was telling them how she got at 25 years old to this country and blah blah blah while we were waiting for her , to bring us what we ordered
