From the moment we sat down we felt like we’d made the right choice for a rare date night. The service was warm, helpful and welcoming and the food was amazing!!!! The best squid and pork belly we have ever had.

Great food and very delicious. On the pricey end, but you are paying for the views which were spectacular. Good service, if I exclude the 30min wait for my 2nd drink, after a few repeated askings. Will be back!!
