    Very noisy. Good service. Food was expensive and only ok. Calamari was rubbery. Swordfish was very thin overcooked. I will say they did take the swordfish back quickly and brought another entre. Manager came over to apologize and offered additional salad while we waited for the new entre to be prepared. Classy move. Pasta dishes were better choice. Overall fair.

    My girlfriends and I had dinner there last night and the experience was like none we’ve experienced anywhere else! We ordered a lot of different dishes so we could try a little of everything and everything was to die for. We even ended up ordering double of some of the plates after we finished because it was so good & we wanted more! All of the staff are so friendly and attentive and the views are like no other! You get water views & gorgeous view of the city skyline. 20/10 would recommend🥰!!

    The restaurant is very nice. Our server never seemed happy to be there. He was polite but not very personable. The good was very expensive and not worth the price. I had a sirloin steak with mashed potatoes $50. No vegetables or salad. The steak was bland. The crab cakes were not worth $20. They were flat and tasted like fish cakes. The calamari was very good. The drinks were good as well. I have been there on 2 other occasions about 3 years ago. A very different experience. All of us were disappointed. It was my birthday celebration.

    Disappointed. Sent back swordfish. Looked great but was so dry and tough flipped it over to find the bottom dark brown from being left in the pan. Had to flag down water who took it away and put in a new order while my family ate. Manager apologized and arrived with a new one. Not moist like I had hoped, but better. Not $42 dish. Ordered 2 creme brûlées for dessert from a different waiter who arrived at our table. Both Hot? Top crusted gold but custard was hot. It should be cold and has been in the past. Again someone didn’t watch broiler. My daughter finished hers. I let her finish mine she wouldn’t eat it. We left it. No one checked on us to see if it was good. We hadn’t been here in 3.5 years. Was excited to be back. It was so full and noise level made it hard to share conversation. Not sure we will head back. The whipped potatoes were great, bread was great, lobster on top of swordfish was fine. The kitchen was having a bad night for us.

    As we walked in, we immediately noticed that the ambience was fantastic. The restaurant was gorgeous and very clean. My main issues were with our server and the portion sizes of appetizers. We ordered a shrimp cocktail for $18 that came with 4 shrimp, which were not very big. We expected a little bit more. Additionally, when asking for an addition of meat on a dish, the server did not inform us it would cost extra. This was something I partially blame my self for as well for not asking, but I figured I would be informed of the additional charge. Finally, I asked in my reservation if we could have a dessert for our anniversary. I left my email for any questions / to confirm if it would cost extra. I was given no confirmation of that request, so I figured it was not possible. When receiving the check, I saw that the dish with the addition of meat was charged $10 more than the price on the menu — with no note of the addition. It almost seemed as though they wanted to hide the additional charge. We were also charged for the dessert, even though we didn’t know it was happening until it came out to our table. Overall, I feel that the restaurant needs to add more clarity to its menu items, specifically the sizes of appetizers and costs for additions to entrees. The food itself tasted decent, but not worth the price tag that comes along with it. My biggest takeaway was poor service, which is disheartening considering most reviews commend that aspect. Maybe I was unlucky, but my server was condescending and unhelpful when I asked for clarifications on prices and sizes. It is a dealbreaker when thinking about returning here.

    The noise level is very high! You can barely hear the people at your own table speaking. Our server was polite and attentive but did not fully grasp English. The food was average - not what I expected at a restaurant of this caliber. The antipasto was mostly arugula with 4 pieces of cheese and not a cracker in sight. Mashed potatoes were tasteless. Prime rib special was also bland. Irish coffee was served in a glass without a handle so was impossible to drink while it was hot without burning your hand. Bread pudding was dry and tasted stale. So overall we won’t be in a rush to return.
