Food was great. Service was really lacking. Was given the wrong menus. Drinks took a very long time to be delivered. Server didn’t seem to know about allergens. (What had gluten and what didn’t) menus were left on the table. Server spilled drink. The support staff was amazing and the food was really good. Expensive, but good.

Unfortunately for Easter Sunday it was extremely loud. There was a large party next to us and my mom who is elderly definitely felt like it was very loud and I agree. Food was mediocre for the extremely large price. The view was definitely amazing. Would go back for the French fries.

Overall:3.5 stars What I liked: The food was quite good. Great location. Good drinks and a nice overall vibe. What I didn’t like: Happy hour is listed on their website (5–7 PM), but when I initially asked about it, the server denied it. When I asked again and showed the website, the server seemed visibly annoyed. Despite the confusion around happy hour, it’s still a decent spot with good food and drinks.
