Someone else in our group selected this restaurant. I did not enjoy it all. Service was terrible - had to ask for things multiple times and had to wait 30 minutes for a new fork. Food was meh. Do NOT recommend.

We have met up with my brother and his girlfriend there last night because they wanted to try the dinner menu. They were raving about the brunch. My husband and I got the steak kabobs and the fish. The waiter was very helpful and gave very good recommendations being that it was my first time there. I’d have to say the food was good but not great for the price. We paid almost $600 including tip for dinner and we each had one drink. It’s a nice place to try at least once because of the beautiful view, if I do go back it will probably be just for the brunch.

Questions & Answers

Is it kid friendly? I have a 17 year old and a 13 year old. Looking for something different. Thanks

I'm sure they technically allow kids, but I'd say that it's trendy, busy and loud and far from an ideal location for young people. Maybe during the day it's a bit quieter, but it's definitely bustling starting in the afternoon.

Are walk in welcome

I tried to make a reservation for 8/21 for 7 people and the site says it doesn't have any thing available. Is that correct??

Heads up, they don't take same day reservations but it looks like you have plenty of time to get on their books for that day.

What is the "party size " that you do take reservations for?

Amy Wiess | Oct 18, 2019
kyung rivera | Oct 18, 2019

Seems they can take about 10 on a walk in, for larger you should call, there's plenty of space but this place is popular and always packed after work on weekdays
