    Great experience in every way. Went for lunch and had the prix fixed tasting menu. Great way to sample the menu and priced fairly. Small portions but enough food. Sea bass and fried chicken were outstanding. Loved the multi chocolate mousse dessert. Outstanding service and an outstanding view of the city. Worth the price.
