It was a nece looking restaurant. The only thing the weather was not great. Due to rainy weather there was no view of the downtown skyline. Recommend not to go on rainy day to much fog.

The food was really good, but I would prefer if they included coffee and tea with the brunch price. I was told there was a dress code but when we got there, everybody was very casual so I was confused. The staff was not very friendly, but the service was good and our food was good.
