The food was phenomenal. The server was terrific. Unfortunately, fine dining is expensive and you can get similar quality food (perhaps a slight notch less) at half the price at other places.

We were very pleased with the delicious meal we made from several small plates/appetizers, which were all perfectly prepared and nicely presented. Among the stars were the meatballs, macaroni and cheese and Brussels sprouts. But do not leave without trying the Cracked Potatoes, little chunks that are pillowy soft on the inside and crispy on the outside, with something that added an addictive umami kick. We also found cocktails and wine that perfectly complemented our diverse assortment of dishes.

Lovely space with incredible views and a cool vibe, but the food and drinks were only so-so. Our server was very sweet, helpful, and friendly, but we had to wait a really long time for the check

My experience at the Golden Hour was so beautiful. It had great city views, good music, and good food. I felt like I was in a movie. I would definitely recommend to family, and friends. Great for date night, or just a good night out with friends.
