    Amazing view and beautiful restaurant. Service was attentive and knowledgeable. Wish they had a tenderloin instead of a strip loin on the menu but otherwise food was good.

    Enjoyed the cocktails. Good variety and local options. Appys were tasty. My main's pork was great, but the gnocchi was kind of tough and not enough flavour. The cheesecake was tasty but not outstanding. My friend who had the ravioli reported so-so experience, both in portion size and quality. Overall, though it was a respectable experience, I was hoping to walk away more satisfied than I was.
