    Truffle Mushroom Ravioli was a dream, and the cocktail resurrection was really good. The view is breathtaking in the night, even when it sprinkles a little bit. The staff was friendly and attentive. It's definitely a place to come back.

    If you’re looking for a stunning rooftop spot with great vibes, this place is a must-visit! The view is breathtaking, especially at sunset, and the ambiance is relaxed yet sophisticated. The snacks are on point—perfectly portioned, flavorful, and creatively presented. Whether you’re into classic tapas or something with a modern twist, there’s plenty to choose from. I especially loved truffle fries absolutely delicious! Overall, it’s the perfect spot to unwind with friends or celebrate a special evening. Lana was so nice Highly recommended

    it was nice. The table was a little low and small for our dinner entrées. But the Omni was great. The service was very nice.
