Our food was delicious! The tables around us needed to be bussed. Many dirty dishes left for up to 20 minutes after customers left. Our waitress was attentive but needed to ask for refill. Overall we will probably return.

My experience at the Golden Hour was so beautiful. It had great city views, good music, and good food. I felt like I was in a movie. I would definitely recommend to family, and friends. Great for date night, or just a good night out with friends.
