I come here for the view when I want to just chill with a friend or two.
The ambience is always upbeat and quite busy and loud. I like the energy and I'm always in good company so its fun. The patio is beautiful, especially at night and would be a really nice place for a date if you can get a nice spot outside. Its annoying that they don't take reservations on weekends though - you have to either go early or grab a few drinks at the bar before you can get a seat at the patio. I don't mind but its a lot louder at the bar than it is outside so it depends on who you're with and what kind of atmosphere you are looking for.
Food is okay, I would not recommend coming here for dinner unless you know you are having dinner purely for the view as you can definitely get better food elsewhere. Drinks are good, bottles are the same price as anywhere else comparable so its a nice place to just chill on the couches on the patio over a few glasses of wine.
Service is okay, I find they kind of just leave you but always pop by just as you need another drink. Overall a great place for a drink and view :)
