When I first got off the elevator, it was incredible—the view was absolutely amazing. The deck itself is beautiful and definitely the highlight of the experience. However, the buffet was honestly terrible. The food was very disappointing, and the drink I ordered was so bad I actually had to send it back. Our server only visited our table once the entire time, which added to the overall frustration. I’m not sure what I expected, but I can confidently say the value just wasn’t there. I paid $90 per person, and in my opinion, it was absolutely not worth it. The audio setup was also uneven—one side of the space was much louder than the other, which made the vibe feel off. A DJ would’ve probably created a much better energy than what they had going. The only thing I truly appreciated was the incredible deck and the view. Everything else felt like a waste of money.

We had a wonderful experience celebrating our graduation here. The owner was incredibly welcoming and understanding, setting a great tone for the evening. The staff—especially our server, Katerina—were relaxed, attentive, and so much fun to be around. We also noticed a couple nearby celebrating their anniversary, which shows this place is perfect for any occasion. The view was absolutely stunning! For the best experience, ask for front seating to enjoy the scenery, or opt for the back if you’re looking for a cozy, quiet spot. Highly recommend!

Server was apparently new or still training as she seem unsure to fulfill a simple request as 'panchetta on the side and shot down a couple other requests with a 'No' without even checking with the Kitchen.Lamb was tasty despite being well done as opposed to medium temp requested.Bruno the bartender made great cocktails and pleasant demeanor .The other dishes were mediocre at best. The view and company made up for the average cusine and service. Won't be back and definitely not recommending this spot except for drinks and great background for pictures!

Manager tried to seat us inside saying Outdoor seating is limited 2 to 4 people. The kitchen was 'backed up' we waited over 90 minutes for the entrees although the drinks were served quickly.
