| - Okay so I had low expectations for this place, but of course had to go as a tourist. I've heard it's comparable to the Signature Room where you're there for the view and experience and not the food. And was the food outstanding? No. But was it pretty damn good? Yes. The experience made up the rest. The service was pretty average, which was a downside just because it is upscale and I'd expect above average service. But the view was amazing. We were there at 7:30 so got a bit of the sunset and then the dark, lit up city. I quite enjoyed that it turned so you got a different view throughout your meal. For an app I got the escargot, which was actually really good (so I take back the outstanding comment because this was seriously awesome). Butter, wine, garlic, cherry tomatoes, pearl onions, bacon, and escargot? Yes, please. Anyway, for my entree I got the bison, which the server immediately advised me would only be served rare (which I appreciate, please do not take a wonderful piece of meat and kill it again), so I said fine. It came out medium rare (which was my preference anyway) and was quite tasty with some pepper crust on it. The jus in came with actually wasn't. It tasting like soy sauce or something abrasive and definitely not like the anticipate cabernet jus that was promised on the menu. However, it was a good bison steak so I didn't need any jus. Just would have been nice to have some bites with it! My sister got a pasta dish (vegetarian) which she raved about as well. We didn't get dessert, but I can comment that the wine list was okay. They didn't have a large selection by the glass and, since this is more of a tourist place where you'd expect a group that wouldn't necessarily being sharing bottles of wine, I would've expected some more glass options. Nevertheless, it was a cool experience and decent food and would recommend.
