The $30 lunch special was lovely but it's just part of their Monday to Friday menu.

Amazing place - you dine in the clouds. The service was so good. The food was surprisingly good, I didn't expect that quality from the roof bar. Definitely will be back next week

The food is very good, the location is lovely. A few more servers would assist the overall rating. While very good, there is just too much for the available staff to do, and while I know Monday lunchtime is not peak, it would have been better with another one or two staff available. We will be back.
