    A great place to take out-of-town guests. Love the view, the food, and the wait staff are there when you need them but gone when you want to be left alone.

    Our server was great, food was ok not great, all in all good except for when the manager came over to remind us about the 2 hour minimum stay, which I already knew about because they sent me what feels like a million emails about it. Seems like after that we felt rushed to finish, mind you we were sitting outside and for the last 30 minutes there was 4 open tables outside, so not sure the reason for the manager to come remind us then rush us to finish our meals.

    Great experience. Waited a bit for the server to show up, but still great service after. Veronica was very poll ok it’s and attentive. Our food took a bit longer, however the chef apologized for the wait in person. Overall, worth the food, service is worth the price and the view is exquisite.
