| - The ambience and view is absolutely wonderful. I really enjoyed the atmosphere - it was modern, yet refined, but not stuffy or the least bit pretentious. The wait staff was very attentive and professional. Our server took good care of our party of 10. We enjoyed the relaxing meal and caught up on conversation and laughs with our good friends after a long week.
The food was good, and I don't think its necessarily overpriced, especially when you consider the location and breathtaking view. I do wish, however, that the it had a bit more flavor. Some bold spices and variation in texture would have been great. I had the organic salmon, and it was a bit greasy for my taste. I'm not sure whether it was added oil or the natural fats in the fish, but the fat overwhelmed each bite. The potatoes that accompanied the dish were also glistening with olive oil. The spinach was nothing special - merely sauteed with some garlic.The crab cake was underwhelming, as was the creme brulle (we didn't like the peanut butter chocolate addition to what should be a very simple dessert made of cream, eggs, and sugar). We ordered the beef perogies too - they were delicious. A friend enjoyed the oysters so much that he ordered a second platter. He said they were delightful.
They have an extensive wine list and our friends who ordered from it were quite satisfied. I will probably dine here again and try out something else on the menu.
