    The views are incredible but don’t count on eating at a table, it’s more of a coffee table. The food was very good and the ambience was excellent.

    We were seated in a walkway with an unsteady table, so we asked to move as we wanted to eat. We were then moved to a tiny crammed area with lots of other people and a small table. We could only order 2 side plates because there were no room. The cocktail was inedible so we were out in 30 mins. Terrible experience

    The food was great, the view was great, but the service could have been better. We had to ask another worker to get our waitress so we could order food, our drinks were empty for extended periods of time with our waitress passing us multiple times, and our waitress didn’t check in to see how the food was. An hour and a half in, our waitress said it was last call and asked if we wanted another drink, so we ordered another round as the email had said to stick to a 2 hour limit. About an hour and 50 minutes into our reservation, another worked came over and informed us that they have a 1.5 hour limit and asked us to move from the table. If it’s a 1.5 hour limit, I don’t understand why the waitress wouldn’t have communicated that to us earlier.

    We asked for a new seat at the bar and they were incredibly accommodating. Bartender Abdul was super friendly and professional.

    Blick ist wunderschön, den gibt’s aber auch woanders! Der Service war total insuffizient und unglaublich unhöflich! Obwohl wir einen doppelten Geburtstag „ angemeldet“ hatten, wurden wir schon vor 23 Uhr mehrfach darauf hingewiesen bald zu gehen. Punkt 23 Uhr kam dann der Rausschmiss, in einer Art, die wir so noch nie erlebt haben. Diese Bar sollte man meiden!!!!

    Thought attitude towards our party wasn't the best. The server who looked after us did a good job.

    Instagram makes it look beautiful, but we were unimpressed. It’s a little dingy inside. Will not go back.
