    The charred octopus was so hard, you could barely chew it. Hamburger was overcooked and lacked flavor. Greek salad was fine. Overall, lovely view but the food was not good.

    Service was horrible and the food just basic Italian food like you can get at any other Italian restaurant. We had gone to celebrate my brother’s in-laws birthday. The place was 1/2 empty on a Tuesday night so there was not reason to get bad service. I can imagine on a weekend!! The waiter was very rude almost angry to be working there. I asked for a dry Martini with regular olives and they only had cheese olives. I asked for a vodka with Belvedere they only had Tangerine. Very limited bar! the appetizer were very basic and nothing to write home about. Over all, we do not recommend this place!

    Good food and drinks were great, came here for lunch with a friend, our waiter Jaime was not friendly and he completely forgot about us. He did not come back to our table for about 20 minutes. It’s like we were completely forgotten about. I’m hoping the dinner experience is better. I’m very hesitant to come back.The place is gorgeous inside, very disappointed with the service.

    I dined here with friends to celebrate my birthday. The servers were attentive, and the food was good. One of the musicians even played Happy Birthday for me.
