    (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

    Great atmosphere and views. It was super hot outside but the indoor dining vibe was not what we were looking for with busy tables and lots of kids. Our server Mateus was great but near the end think he got super busy so service was super slow and we had to ask several times for things. Get him some support out there so he can shine! He’s a great server-very engaging but can’t run a whole section by himself!! My meal was not great. Pairing the scallops with the the black rice not a good choice. Will be back !!

    My fish sandwich didn't seem fresh. It smelled very fishy. The rest of the food was fine, especially the dessert.

    Ambiance was great but server took our order and didn’t come back for about 30 minutes. He kept disappearing throughout our dinner and was not attentive. My party had been drinking and when we asked for some lemon drop shots our server told us the bar was closed but never gave us any warning or last call notice. We had no idea what time the bar closed, and as a bartender/server myself we always let the guests know when last call is. Probably not coming back here.
