    The hosts was rude and did not go in order of people that came in. Waited 15 minutes until 10 pm for my reservations. A couple came in two minutes before 10 was seated at the table before others that was waiting patiently. I ask was it some kind of order or something. She cut me off and said oh well what your name. Shocked I told her my name and she stated you can come on ,turn to the waiter who was shocked aswell to seat us. Being my first time there was very surprised with the level of customer service our But the waiter was very nice and he apologize for the inconvenience.

    A Perfect Valentine’s Dinner with an Unforgettable View! My Valentine’s Day at Sun Dial Restaurant was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm hospitality and breathtaking panoramic views of the city. The atmosphere was elegant yet cozy—perfect for a romantic evening. The food was absolutely exquisite. Every dish was crafted with precision, bursting with flavor, and beautifully presented. From the appetizers to the main course and dessert, everything was flawless. The wine selection was also top-notch, pairing perfectly with our meal. What truly made the night special was the ambiance—soft lighting, a gentle rotation that gave us different views of the skyline, and impeccable service that made us feel like VIPs. It was an experience we’ll never forget. If you’re looking for a romantic dining experience, especially for a special occasion like Valentine’s Day, Sun Dial is the place to be.

    Wonderful experience! The ambiance was very nice and the service was phenomenal. We were there at the end of lunch, but my husband wanted a steak. While we were willing to settle for the lunch menu which did not include steaks, the server was very accommodating and came back to offer my husband the opportunity to get a steak. This made my husband's first experience great! Thank you!
