    Overall it’s a very nice place and the view is beautiful, however you don’t see it from the actual dining area. I liked the food but it definitely did not worth the price.

    Fab food - you COULD make a meal of the appetizers (we had 3, but then moved to the entrees). Run by the chef from “Wolf” on Melrose, which closed 3-4 years ago. Glad he’s back. Oh, and the place has fantastic views. Loved it.

    The hotel and decor of the restaurant is amazing! I love the color and design choices. The vibe is very current and modern. The service was great! The food was decent. The biggest drawback is the valet parking of $30.
