| - This was a lovely way to spend a Saturday night! Of course the observation deck/glass floor on the way up was a great start! We took a few photos and headed up to the restaurant.
The first thing I noticed was the curtain to the coat check room was half hanging open, light on, and there were some messy items strewn around the floor. This is right at the hostess stand so it was not a great first impression. There was also a paper poster taped to the hostess stand which isn't very appealing for a classy place. The hostesses were in an argument over the seating of a table when we showed up and one marched away visibly unimpressed. First impression wasn't lovely, but they sat us at a great booth on the outer row so we had a beautiful view and lots of space to enjoy! Our waiter was lovely, as was the waiter in the section next to ours- he popped by to visit a couple times and we had great laughs with both waiters. Service was prompt, wine was great. I had the special (8oz veal tenderloin with duchess potatoes and asparagus) and my company had the bison flank with roasted potatoes, green beans and braised cabbage. The meats were delicious and tender, potatoes were great, but the braised cabbage was not great. Our waiter recommended the peanut butter and jelly cheesecake for dessert and it was interesting and enjoyable. We stayed quite late for drinks afterwards (boozy coffee...Manhattans...martinis...port...more wine...) because they have a great selection of drinks and wine. The restaurant had cleared out significantly by 9pm so we felt like we had the place to ourselves! The waiters were great fun, and the view was just awesome. Could have stayed there all night! Food was good, service was great, and drinks were fantastic. We are looking forward to our next dinner there!
