Beautiful atmosphere and good food. We came three years ago and unfortunately experienced the same issue where the service starts out fantastic and then takes a complete nose dive. We weren’t getting water refills, we didn’t see our waitress anymore. Probably will not be back a third time. There needs to be a more attentive wait staff and more attention paid to the customers.

I was surprised when told no substitutions. I understood why when the Brussel sprouts was only three small halves. But my 3 lamb chops were good size and delicious.

Overall experience was good. View is beautiful. The service was excellent. Outside seating is preferred, weather permitting. The charges add up. Be mindful of extras like water and bread. Nothing complimentary here. Good date night location.

This is my first time at this restaurant. It was my daughter graduation and the staff made it special . The young lady that took care of our table, she was exceptional!! Attentive , professional and nice. There was also a lady on the floor I think a supervisor that kept on making sure we were ok and if we needed it anything. Thank you so much ❤️👏🏾🫶🏽
