Val was out server and he was great. He was always on top of things. The pumpkin soup was amazing. The 3 cheese ravioli was delicious . The Caesar salad was a little blah but certainly didn’t ruin the dinner. The view is incredible. I’ll definitely go back!

Great location near theatres. Perfect for apps and drinks (or entrees) before a show. Butternut Squash soup was excellent! Waiter/ service was also good.
