| - Similar to other folks, I give the view 5/5, and the food 3/5. It's certainly not that the food is _bad_, just that it doesn't live up to the prices.
we ordered the four course tasting menu with wine. The food was good, not great; the wines were uniformly tasty. Some of the wine-food pairings were questionable - one dish was a roasted lamb chop served with a sauteed sea bass. the served strong red wine tasted nice with the lamb dish, but wine accentuated the fishy flavor of the fish dish, which I don't think was the intended effect. Desserts tasted good, and were very well presented.
Overall, I would definitely recommend it for a romantic or memorable dinner. In my opinion, _don't_ order the tasting menus, as the extra cost in food isn't worth it here. Order an app, an entree, enjoy the wine menu and recommendations, and save room for desert. The view, however, is worth the cost, especially around sunset. I'd suggest coming ~30 min before sunset, so that you get some lighted view, and get to see most of the lights on.
last 2 tips: every seat has a great view, and there is free valet parking at the hotel for anyone who has a reservation at the restaurant. turn right when you come in the parking lot.
