    First time eating here. Everything was great! Beautiful rooftop views of GVL, lovely winter scenes inside. Nice cocktail selection. I had It’s A Sassy One and it was perfect for me as I love a drink that is flavorful, yet has a lot of ice to last the whole meal, and this was it. We had delicious duck tacos for apps, I had the sablefish entree, my husband had the hanger steak….both great. The desserts were the best! Passion fruit tart and a dark chocolate/pistachio cheesecake. We will be back!
