    The view is excellent and the food was delicious when you could get it. Service was terrible. We had four people in our party..first person got their meal…40 minutes later two others got their meal…and the fourth person never got to eat because after waiting almost two hours for salmon..we told the waitress to cancel that dish cause we were leaving. Not sure what kitchen problem was but when you have to get up and go to the bar to get your water glasses refilled…terrible service!!!

    Don’t understand why open for breakfast. Loud music, staff was prepping, one of 2 Tables. Food was decent but not with the price. Tables. Chairs and seats are worn, torn, dirty!

    My best friend got engaged right before sunset. Staff helped with the surprise proposal! It was so much fun & food was great. The view on the east terrace was amazing. Drinks came out on time as well. My friends really enjoyed their time here & will return.

    Food was not good , Korean wings were over cooked and fries were cold and overcooked( stiff )as well. Service was good though our waiter was attentive and he removed the fries from our bill. Initially booked because online says their is live entertainment on Thursdays and Fridays but that was not the case at .
