    My experience at this place was absolutely incredible! The service was top-notch, and the waitress who took care of us was simply amazing. She was friendly, kind, and incredibly patient. She even checked in with us to make sure everything was going well. Her suggestions and recommendations on the menu were spot-on, especially since she seemed to know everything about their offerings. This isn’t my first time here, and I’m already planning to come back again and again. This place is truly amazing!

    When I first arrived I was confused and thought I had entered the wrong address on the GPS because it directed me near CITY OF HOPE so I thought it was a cafeteria. Apparently there is a hotel nearby and the restaurant is in the lobby. The food was great! Had the Four cheese pasta and I truly enjoyed it. It had a nice flavor and brightness to sauce with a slight spicy kick and richness from the cheese incorporated and yet didn’t have an overpowering heaviness. The dessert was delicious as well. Had the Butter Pecan cheesecake which was their seasonal dessert and a friend had the butter cake which I would highly recommend to try. The butter cake had a nice crisp outside and moist inside

    Came here to celebrate my own Thanksgiving Day and was super impressed by this place and the experience! The views were spectacular and the food was top notch! My favorites were the grilled octopus, the turkey, as well as the mashed potatoes! The desserts were super good too! Service is nice, friendly, and helpful. Very professional! The only downside is that the restroom is a little filthy and no guarantee for window seating. Great for all formal and special occasions! Highly recommended!
