This was my third visit, and the experience was consistent with past visits. The real standout here is the absolutely spectacular view—easily one of the best in the area. Whether you’re inside or out, the scenery adds so much to the experience and makes it a great spot to soak in the surroundings. The food and drinks are good, though on the pricier side, so it really depends on what you’re looking for. Service can be hit or miss, but the host on Monday was super welcoming and made a great first impression. If you’re after a meal with an epic view, it’s definitely worth checking out!
