   This place is amazing!!! Ambiance was amazing. It was so busy and full. Service was slow and we had a hiccup of only getting half of the menu. So they are menu short but it’s very comfy, cozy, and just straight up sexy in the design. Even though it was full, it was very quiet for us to have a personal conversation. Tuna nacho is a must try. All the drinks we tried were amazing.

   Nice variety of cocktails but no “happy hour”. Loved the shareable sushi grade tuna! Wait staff is very personable and helpful. Great views!

   We had an outstanding experience! The staff was incredibly attentive, providing exceptional service throughout our visit. They checked on us regularly and were very accommodating to our needs. Since it was a travel day, our group arrived sporadically after the reservation time, but the staff handled it seamlessly. The food and drinks were fantastic, making the experience even more enjoyable. We’ll definitely be back—both on this trip and in the future!

   I informed the waitress that I was allergic to seafood, and my plate came out with shellfish in one of the dishes. Although the manager gave a slight discount, it would have been great if he had come to our table to explain what happened and how he would correct it. I will visit again to give it another chance, but I would not have visited for the Valentine's Day meal had I seen the menu before. It was very seafood-heavy.

   Worst experience ever. There were two of us and they added a 20% gratuity. I wanted to leave the minimum 15% we even discussed it over dinner but when the check was bright to us were told 20% was already added. WHAT?! We were there for the Valentines experience and not a single thing was explained to us. Drinks were not paired with each course like the description on Open Table. In fact getting a drink was chore. They just drop each course off and walked away with zero explanation. It was awful. We spent $415 and ate nearly nothing. We are locals and go out a lot and this was the worst night we’ve had in a while if not ever.

   We've been to the Aviator's Bar about a dozen times already. The view and ambience are awesome; the wait staff are very slow -- even when it's not very crowded. What really is vexing is their veteran's discount policy. Once it was 20% off, then 15%, sometimes 10%, and then last night we were told there is NO discount!! This is very outrageous -- it should be at least 10%, which is the veteran's discount at their Pamela's Restaurant. Just saying'

    Very attentive service by Kelsey and beautiful views from our window seats. The food was beautifully presented and very tasty. Cocktail was delicious, wine just so so. The noise level was fairly loud for conversation considering the overall design of the place to diminish noise. Sitting outside in nice weather might be an option. As others have said, a few more menu options might be nice, perhaps a sweet item.
