| - The view is awesome. Way better view than from Hilton's Different Pointe of View.
That said, we bought the Travelzoo voucher for a dinner for two. First course consisted of shrimp cake or butternut risotto. The risotto was bland, and the shrimp cake was very flavorful, but the sauces on the plate were noncontributory.
For second course we tried the tomato fennel soup and the green salad. Chef Ramsey would've had a field day - the portions were vastly different among the group. The salad was good, but not very proportionally or attractively plated. The soup was ok but nothing to write home about.
For entrees we got the beef medallion and the trio of fish. Portions are pretty small here.. the medallions basically looks like a fancified Banquet dinner. The gravy was sweet and the dish was pretty tasty, but not for the price. The fish over couscous was cooked well. Not the most satisfying dish.
We got dessert of chocolate swirl cheesecake that the server said was "phenomenal". I'd save the 8 dollars and get some Ely's at a grocery store. The espresso creme brulee was more creme than brulee.
Even with the voucher, the tab came out to about 55. I had a wine (the worst wine I've ever had at a restaurant, it tasted like they had it open for a day and watered it down) and the cheesecake, but there was gratuity for original tab (120) and with tax, it was about 55.
All in all, I would have liked to check out the view during the day as well, but I definitely wouldn't come for the food.
The server probably could have been a bit more professional. We had a large group and in the beginning he gave us a lot of attitude about the division of tabs. Understandably overwhelming and maybe frustrating, but "holy f***" is not a very appropriate thing to say right in front of the guests.
