The tempura cauliflower was delicious! Really nice jazz musician too. Our server, Emerson, was professional and food came out quickly. The coconut tres leches desert was tasty but the cake was a bit dry. Other than that a great experience and we will definitely be back.

We loved the beautiful views and we had an excellent waiter. The portions were small for the price but the cost was worth it for the atmosphere. We would recommend it to others for special occasions.

Overall a very good experience. My one recommendation is to have heaters around the tables and chairs. Since it is all outdoors and it get chilly after sunset.
