| - Getting into this restaurant is almost like going through airport security, just without the pat down. I had called and asked about dress code, then asked about reservations on a Tuesday night. The woman I spoke with said it was necessary if I wanted to get in. After finally getting in, there wasn't anyone else there. In fact, they just opened and were still setting up. Great views as the restaurant rotated. Watched the sky jumpers fly by! Got a great waiter, Kevin. Being my second time here, I knew the prices were a little high, IMO. But forty bucks for chicken? My wife said it was good, but forty bucks? I understand the ambience, which was nice and the overhead. My wife wanted to split a meal with a friend who joined us because she is a light eater. The waiter told us they would have to order an 80 dollar meal and there would also be an 8 dollar plate charge. Huh? Is this customary at most high-end restaurants? I ordered the salmon, which was excellent. The Yukon Gold mashed potatoes were absolutely delicious. Bread and butter was very good also.
Overall, it was a good time. I did expect to pay a pretty penny to eat here.
If you are talking about value for the cost, though, this did not meet or exceed my expectations. But I think the next time I want a great romantic meal, I will choose some place else.
