    Overall great experience. It was a bit confusing that day to find valet since they changed it that day due to construction. So we ended up parking in the self parking which was $18. You go through two elevators to reach the restaurant which is on the 71st floor. We had a reservation so we were seated promptly. Jordan gave us some knowledge about wines and some interesting info about older ones. While we were waiting, they gave us a complimentary dish to taste. It was a three course prix fixed menu to choose from. First course, I got the Crudo, but I think two pieces of my fish dish went a little sour/fishy cause it tasted off. However the rest of the pieces was delicious. The ribeye was delicious. And dessert did feel like another whole meal. Our server moved us to window once a table was empty during dessert for the birthday boy. Shout out to Jasmin. Overall on the pricey side since we got a bottle, but loved the views, atmosphere, and food.
