    I didn’t know when booking that there would be a fixed menu our bill was $260 for steak and a soggy lobster. The drinks were ok but too expensive for the amount of ice. I wasnt impressed with the limited options. Our server was kind and attentive. The ambiance was nice.

    Furniture more suitable as a lounge than a restaurant. Food was good. Service good. Pricey cocktails and poor wine selection.

    The food and service were excellent, and the views were spectacular. My only complain was the charcuterie board for three people came with six crackers. Since the crackers was the cheapest item on the board, I would have expected more.
