    Everything was average. The service was good until we paid, at which point we were asked to leave the table because another party was arriving. I was still drinking my coffee, and there were plenty of empty tables around. To be honest, this is the first time something like this has happened to me, and I dine out fairly often. It was a complete surprise, especially after spending a significant amount on the meal.

    The charred octopus was so hard, you could barely chew it. Hamburger was overcooked and lacked flavor. Greek salad was fine. Overall, lovely view but the food was not good.

    Great dinner spot. Lobster linguine & spicy rigatoni must have. Service on point. Great energy and a wonderful vibe. Started with dinner finished off at the bar, friendly bartenders, beautiful people and a lively crowd.

    Service was horrible and the food just basic Italian food like you can get at any other Italian restaurant. We had gone to celebrate my brother’s in-laws birthday. The place was 1/2 empty on a Tuesday night so there was not reason to get bad service. I can imagine on a weekend!! The waiter was very rude almost angry to be working there. I asked for a dry Martini with regular olives and they only had cheese olives. I asked for a vodka with Belvedere they only had Tangerine. Very limited bar! the appetizer were very basic and nothing to write home about. Over all, we do not recommend this place!

    Good food and drinks were great, came here for lunch with a friend, our waiter Jaime was not friendly and he completely forgot about us. He did not come back to our table for about 20 minutes. It’s like we were completely forgotten about. I’m hoping the dinner experience is better. I’m very hesitant to come back.The place is gorgeous inside, very disappointed with the service.
