    Everything was absolutely amazing. Our waiter was so accommodating and understanding. The food was incredible. The fish was fresh and beautifully plated. The overall ambiance of the restaurant makes you feel as though you are dining in a movie. I recommend booking a dinner reservation. The ambient lighting, jazz music, and magical views of the cityscape create an enchanting, and intimate feel hard to replicate!

    Beautiful restaurant, the staff are very polite, pleasant and provide excellent customer service. Had a valentines day date there and the ambience and professionalism was top notch. Food was a little expensive for what it was, but seeing as it was a Valentine's day setlist that is to be expected. Would highly recommend this place!

    Booked a reservation here for Valentine’s Day! My wife and i absolutely loved it! Spent at about 4 hours there enjoying the food, drinks and watching the performances over great conversations. We also got a chance to meet the owner who was very appreciative of us spending Valentine’s Day there when we could have been anywhere else. Staff was great and the customer service was flawless. The food? Absolutely worth the money! We will be back.
