    Great service! Good wine pours too. The pizza’s came out ten minutes before the pasta dishes and everything was tepid in temperature, not hot at all. However, the flavors were quite delicious. A bit loud, but that’s to be expected in the environment for which it is, -it adds to the positive energy. We would go back again with specific requests to ensure timely and hot food.

    The restaurant was not busy on a Wednesday noon. Diego our server was attentive and pleasant. The food, fried chicken sandwiches ($20) was tasty. Wine ($16) and beer ($13) were fine but pricey. The view is magnificent. We enjoyed our leisurely meal. I imagine it is a different experience when the place is crowded as they said it often is. Strangely everyone was friendly except the hostess who greeted us initially. We arrived 2 minutes before noon and she scowled and told us to wait outside. Go figure.
