    We were never served, we were sat 30 minutes after our reservation time. We sat at a table for about an hour without being approached by a server. A nice busser brought our table water, otherwise no service

    I had high hopes for this restaurant in a high-rise location, but unfortunately, it was a complete letdown. The area felt cheap and far from the ambiance you’d expect for a “fancy” dining experience. The staff was incredibly rude, showing no sense of hospitality or professionalism. To top it off, they offered us seating that was absolutely unacceptable—chairs that looked like they were meant for kids. Imagine trying to enjoy dinner in such uncomfortable and poorly thought-out furniture. It felt like an afterthought, not a proper restaurant setup. I wouldn’t recommend this place if you’re looking for anything remotely upscale or enjoyable.

    The views are incredible but don’t count on eating at a table, it’s more of a coffee table. The food was very good and the ambience was excellent.

    We were seated in a walkway with an unsteady table, so we asked to move as we wanted to eat. We were then moved to a tiny crammed area with lots of other people and a small table. We could only order 2 side plates because there were no room. The cocktail was inedible so we were out in 30 mins. Terrible experience

    The food was great, the view was great, but the service could have been better. We had to ask another worker to get our waitress so we could order food, our drinks were empty for extended periods of time with our waitress passing us multiple times, and our waitress didn’t check in to see how the food was. An hour and a half in, our waitress said it was last call and asked if we wanted another drink, so we ordered another round as the email had said to stick to a 2 hour limit. About an hour and 50 minutes into our reservation, another worked came over and informed us that they have a 1.5 hour limit and asked us to move from the table. If it’s a 1.5 hour limit, I don’t understand why the waitress wouldn’t have communicated that to us earlier.
