    If you’re looking for a stunning rooftop spot with great vibes, this place is a must-visit! The view is breathtaking, especially at sunset, and the ambiance is relaxed yet sophisticated. The snacks are on point—perfectly portioned, flavorful, and creatively presented. Whether you’re into classic tapas or something with a modern twist, there’s plenty to choose from. I especially loved truffle fries absolutely delicious! Overall, it’s the perfect spot to unwind with friends or celebrate a special evening. Lana was so nice Highly recommended

    we ate in the area next to the bar because it was quiet- view was also good. we had salmon sushi and spicy tuna both were outstanding as good as the michelin sushi ran in Marin Calf or Pabu in SF. and less expensive very large portion and our waitress was charming. sadly we have booked all the restaurants for our 10 nights in NY otherwise we would return for more sushi. a wonderful surprise.
