| - I was not feeling super hungry so, after ordering a $12 cocktail, I asked to order an appetizer, mentioning I'd be ordering dessert later. I was informed that anyone who didn't order a main course, would be charged an "elevation" fee. That's crazy. I understand instituting a minimum, but let YOUR CUSTOMER decide what that will be comprised of.
So, I ordered the grilled veggie entree from the price fix instead of what I wanted. And it was tasty (except the cabbage--turns out cabbage is super bitter grilled!). I was surprised given the bad reviews and what the general word on the street is. But, it was $38! I'm stunned. Stunned! My asparagus, broccolini, and bell pepper cost what a steak should cost. I would greatly have preferred the salad and side I wanted, another cocktail, and some tea with dessert, which would easily have cost more anyway. I'm glad I held off on those because I felt this coming. I did order dessert, but the dark chocolate tower didn't deliver. It was the consistency of marshmallow but not very flavorful or chocolate-y.
The view is spectacular, and the fact the place rotates is just amazing. There isn't a bad seat in the house. Even if you aren't seated along the window, you'll have a beautiful view because those tables not beside a window are elevated. The restaurant is lovely as well, although I hardly looked anywhere but out the window!
The view is certainly 5 stars, and the service is a 4 or 5, but the experience was a 3 because, at the end of the day, I walked out without having what I wanted.
