This rooftop restaurant is great to watch the sunset and enjoy dinner & cocktails. Only downside was that my steak was overcooked the first time, so I sent it back, and it was cooked perfectly medium rare. I understand these things happen so I wasn’t too upset about it. Nonetheless, the food was amazing. Highly recommend ordering the Steak Tenderloin with gnocchi.

The shaved brussel sprout salad was amazing! The salmon melted in my mouth and the mashed potatoes were delicious. The tuna tartare was one of the best I’ve ever had.
