Overall the food was just not good. Everything from the appetizer (crab dip) to the entrees (pasta & salmon) was not prepared well or high quality. It's a shame because this restaurant has great ambience. I expect more for the price and level of the restaurant. They rest on their laurels with the nice view. Overall really disappointed and cannot recommend.

Our server was superb. Extremely efficient, very personable and knowledgeable about the menu. He was a professional! Moreover, someone else from the restaurant, I believe he was a manager, helped my friend and I navigate everything from locating additional restrooms to making sure we took the elevator to the right floor to enter the parking lot. We experienced true customer service; something rarely seen but greatly missed.

The food, view, and service were all great. My only complaint was the noise level. My wife and I had to yell to hear each other and to make sure the waitress could hear our orders

Another wonderful experience at this location. I hadn’t videotaped since their remodel and was delighted with the decor and spaciousness. The view remains the star of the show. Staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. What a lovely experience!

Such a great last minute brunch pick. Food was amazing, our waitress Nez was so welcoming and funny and very attentive. It’s right off the water so there are great views throughout the restaurant. Restrooms were clean. Overall had a very nice clean smell. Can’t wait to go back.
