    Excellent all around from the service and food to the extraordinary views and vistas. The only issue was the annoying bees that kept buzzing around us almost the entire meal. I would suggest you get rid of the bottle brush plant that sits right by the outdoor tables and attracts bees!

    We enjoy casual dining in beautiful settings and this restaurant fits the bill along with a good kitchen. We particularly enjoy the homemade soups.

    We love this restaurant. The food is great. We enjoy the bottomless Mimosas during brunch on the weekends. The view from the outdoor patio is outstanding.

    Such a pleasant surprise! Service and staff were polite and professional, very accommodating and lovely. Food was delicious and we shared everything and they took the time to serve on our own individual plates. Roasted beet and arugula salad, chicken piccata and the perfect blue cheese stuffed olive martini. We went there for the view, we'll be back for that and everything else next time.

    Amazing views. Great breakfast and lunch. We had the Benedict and a burger. Both were excellent! Service was very good. The quality of the food seemed better than when we had dined there previously. The Escena martini was very good (pineapple martini with a touch of lime).
