    I love coming here - one of our favorite places in the city for the spectacular views, inside and outside. Drinks are good, I had a glass of wine this time. The food was good but not great. The sausage and pear flatbread was quite dry, as was the carrot cake. The lamb meatballs were very good. Service was great!
