| - Come here for the view, but stay away if you want good food.
It's the view. That's it. Everything else is just slightly above mediocre - that goes for the food AND service. And if it's chilly in the evening, you can forget the view. There's no heaters out there.
I paid a visit recently, for a birthday, and everything from start to end was disastrous.
At 8 people, we're not a big party. The restaurant (for a Saturday night) was not busy. At 7:30, there was 2 other tables, and with only 2 guests per. Even as a 'lounge' later in the evening, it was half empty.
Our server still managed to mix up our orders, and get them wrong.
The food was disappointing. Their truffle gnocci w/ burrata cheese and wild mushroom sauce, was the 'most memorable'. Even then, it arrived lukewarm. The tacos lacked flavor, and tasted like a cheap home meal with frozen store-bought fish. Desserts were 'meh', drinks were meh.
Our table was next to the kitchen. How can the food be lukewarm?!
Our friend got charged a cake-cutting fee of $45, but they didn't even cut it. Our server did pretty much nothing, but stand at the bar with another server, chatting the whole night.
There are plenty of other restaurants downtown, with patios and a great view. I don't see a reason to revisit this place. Even if it's your first time, is their view really worth it?
