    Food was good but pricey for this restaurant. Great view but very outdated and old furniture and look and feel. Needs a major overhaul.

    Such a disappointing meal. Waited over an hour to get our food after we had ordered and it was terrible. The $24.00 hamburger was raw. The turkey pesto sandwich was cold and actually terrible. Turkey slices like you'd get in the bologna section, a cold slice of Swiss cheese after the menu said Havarti, and the pesto looked like green mayonnaise. Have been eating for years and I would not go back again.

    If it wasn’t for the ambiance I’d leave 1 star.The food was mediocre at best and the service department really was non existent. Dinner on a slow Wednesday evening and had to keep reminding the waitress to bring water to our group. Not what I’d suspect for such a heavy priced meal
