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.

Went there with my wife, 10-year-old, and six-year-old at the end of happy hour. Got a bunch of tacos, avocado tempura, and a steak appetizer I forget the name. Tacos were all great, especially the carnitas and fish. Shrimp was good but not as satisfying as the rest. I wouldnt recommend the steak app.

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
