First, the view and ambience were great. It did get chilly as the sun went down, but what can you expect (they had an outdoor fire going which helped). I would recommend a reservation (we had one) but they do have some areas along the wall for walk-ins. We had a bottle of prosecco which was good. The food was fine. Our server was friendly, but the service itself was slow. We were in town for a conference so it was our first time here. Not sure we would go back. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Overall food was good. Reuben egg rolls need some work. Various sausages were excellent. Reuben sandwich was spot on. Schnitzel was very light on the sauce and flavorless. Service was good. Drinks were great and beer was cold.

Service was excellent. Poke Bowl was supposed to have Jasmine rice but it was minute rice for sure. Terrible. And cost was high for minute rice! It was good atmosphere for family.
