The food and vibes were great! Our waitress, Casey, was amazing. Only thing that was really annoying was their obvious urge to turn tables over. In a matter of minutes, we had 4-5 separate people try to take our food that we were clearly still eating (literally said “no thank you, we’re still working on that” while we were mid-chew). The same thing happened with our drinks. We had a bottle of champagne in an ice bag that we repeatedly had people take out of the bag to check how much was remaining. Other than feeling rushed, this place was awesome.

Cocktails expensive, food was reasonably priced because it was shareable but tasted average aka nothing special. Very cute inside, but a bit loud. Waiters didn’t check on us that often.

Received zero service, though I still tipped 20% for the view and food. They kept asking me every five minutes if I was done. Oh man.
