   Unfortunately we were told the gas was out so only cold dishes were available, however, as the night progressed we witnessed hot dishes coming out to other tables. We were told this was a reserved large party and the kitchen cooked on electric plates…. So, how is that even fair? Waitress was uppity when asked about this too. We kept having to chase the waitress on our orders and general service. It’s unfortunate because I’ve been before with the full menu and the food is good. Not all the cold dishes were good.

   Everything was perfect. We were able to move our table from inside to outside and it was the perfect brunch! Food,service,vibes etc….i have been here for dinner in the past as well. Very consistent. Great location for pre pantages or just central location for get togethers. Great view for photos too

   The ambience was gorgeous. Loved the citrus trees in the dinning area. The Brussels sprouts were caramelized beautifully. The duck taco had a great portion size and the meat was tender. The lemon sorbet was just the right level of tartness.

   Honestly one of the more pretty outdoor restaurants. Food was pretty mid. I would only come back here for the view and some drinks, that’s about it. Sadly disappointed.

   Hardly anyone else there, and service was inattentive. Burrata appetizer was very good, Cacio e Pepe was soupy. Very nice atmosphere.
