Dined 5 days ago

I’m so glad we picked this spot for a recent and somewhat rare date night. The view can’t be beat. Loved the ambiance- vibrant and a little swanky. Prices are very fair considering the vibe, in my opinion. Loved the cocktails and our meals were delicious. My only complaint is the bathroom situation. We were there around 9 pm and they were already disgusting with crazy long lines. Needs to be better monitored too.
