It's a long walk but the views are spectacular! Book before you go, check whether there are any theatre performances on at the time of your booking. It's very self-service, there are menus on the tables, you book and pay at the bar and they deliver to your table. There's a water station for refills. Overall, the food is good but you really go for the location.
