    I’ve been here several times and it’s been hit or miss. I think last night was the last straw. The waiter was not attentive. We would constantly ask for him. He brought us dirty water cups. After did not fill the cups with the bottle of Pellegrino we ordered. He brought our filet mignon without a steak knife. Went to get the knife didn’t come back. The steak was way overdone and we had asked for medium well done naturally we sent it back. Let’s just say we didn’t have dinner & left.

    My wife and I went here for our 34th Anniversary and I was excited about this venue because it's an awesome property overlooking Burbank. My excitement ended there. I highly recommend this place for a burger and a drink. But if you're looking for good food, this isn't the place. I had the ribeye and my wife the Butterfish and both were a solid 3.5 out of 10. The service was glacially slow but despite that, we truly liked Danielle who took care of us. She's very sweet but had way too many tables to really focus on any one table. It took at least 15 minutes for our wine to arrive after it was ordered and everything kinda went that way. All in all we enjoyed our night because of her sweet disposition and the beautiful property but I would never return. The food was just too pedestrian, and that is being nice. If you're just filling the pie hole this is a great location for it. Just don't spend big bucks expecting fine cuisine.

    They really dropped the ball yesterday. The calamari was drenched in sauce and the breading was falling apart. They shouldn’t have even served it. The wedge salad was just a wedge of lettuce, with very little else I kid you not. Very disappointing. Wife and I wanted to go relax somewhere but we ended up leaving unhappy.

    We celebrated our first wedding anniversary here. Got seated at an outdoor table with nice view of the sunset. We chose the “just trust us” 5-course chef’s selection dinner at the recommendation of our waiter Grayson and it was amazing. Great food and great service - Grayson went above and beyond in helping us celebrate our first wedding anniversary.

    Food was amazing the place is great. The big issue we had was that we kept smell gas. One of the heaters wasn't working it was just throwing gas and the smell was ready strong. You guys should keep and eye on that is not good for the people to be smelling that while eating or enjoying a beautiful place.

    We had a great time with an amazing view. Perfect day. The food was fantastic, although I think you’re a little proud. It’s just eggs Benedict. I appreciated the passion of the young waiter, but him telling me what his “favorite” cheese, on the charcuterie platter isn’t necessary. I’d imagine most people who are coming to a place like this have much more culinary experience than the assumingely slick young waiter recommending the most expensive things on the menu.  maybe I’m wrong and I underestimate the “general public”, but everything was just, fine, the  ambience was fantastic. Come for the view, the food is , fine.
