    The menu has limited options and is very expensive. The website menu is not up to date. The food was good but, as I said not many choices and we told them it was our anniversary and the waiter made no mention of it and they did nothing special. I had been years ago and thought it was beautiful view and of course, still is….. just not worth what you have to spend. Also, reservations make you think it was busy and it was not.

    I chose this restaurant to celebrate a birthday because of a previous pleasant experience. This time however, was a U-turn. For reasons unknown to me, our server was rushing the ordering process. From the moment when we declined any alcohol for dinner, the entire process felt like being in a diner (not that there’s anything wrong with a diner, it’s just a different experience) When we explained there are some dietary restrictions, the waiter did participate in explaining some alternatives, and the answer always lead to “I have to check with the kitchen”, but he never does. Instead, the waiter will return again, without any new information or solution, inquired a repeatedly if we’re ready to order. When if he check with the kitchen, the answer was always: “don’t think this should be a problem”. Towards the end of the main course, without consulting if we finish with the dish (clearly food was still left over), he asked if we’re ready for dessert. Finally, without any recommendation, the waiter stated that something will be coming from the kitchen as complementary for the birthday. when he returned with the frozen sorbet, he walked away before we can order the dessert we wanted. Let me be clear, This is not a reflection of all the staff in the restaurant, just a small possibility of you going through a drive-through like ours. 😎
