Expensive, but worth every penny! This is the second visit this year. Service is exceptional. Views are spectacular. Food is delicious and beautiful. Drinks change seasonally, but the two times I’ve had a cocktail there, they were like works of art. Take someone you really like there and enjoy.

We had the sliders for lunch & was good. Nice outdoor seating areas. The only thing we didn’t like was having to order by QR code. Finally the waitress got us a menu and took our order.
