    Food was delicious. Felt like we had to flag down the waiter down several times to keep things moving.

    The crab cakes and broccolini were fabulous. I didn’t care for the taste or texture of the golden beet tiramisu. My server could have been more attentive. The ambience and view were lovely.

    3 of 4 entrees were brought and the 4th entree was not brought until others were nearly done. Waiter did not apologize. Spoke to manager who apologized but did not offer even to comp anything. The food was good but not great. Food and drinks are very pricey so we don’t plan to return.

    Ambience was nice, beautiful views of the city. My friend and I ordered the seafood tower to share and unfortunately, it didn’t quite hit the spot. The crab was fine! Nothing to write home about. The middle tier was probably my favorite the shrimp and oysters were okay. The condiments were pretty basic for an $85 tower. We also both ordered the chicken and I thought it was slightly overdone. My friend said the ends were dry. Overall, don’t think it was worth the amount we paid for but we had attentive staff members taking care of us so it made up for the lack of food quality.
