    Always an amazing experience. Stunning views. Exceptional food. Eat here regularly so tried 2 new entrees. Not disappointed! Pomegranate salmon and filet with bourbon sauce. Even the vegetables were delicious! Highly recommend.

    We had an enjoyable lunch with friends. Service was good, food good, and the views are outstanding. A bit disappointed that the menu is fairly limited now- I used to love their fish and chips, which they no longer offer. Beware the waffle fries- absolutely delicious, addictive and probably deadly!

    I review this place almost every time we eat here. We ate here 5 times this month. It never fails. Definitely one of our favorites! Breakfast, lunch, dinner or even happy hour like yesterday with family.

    As is typical with Escena, great view, pretty good food, nice ambience, lousy service. Whoever the manager is should really take a course on customer service. It’s always like this. Has been for years.

    Best buffet breakfast we have ever had. Even at $75 I feel it a fair price. The variety and quality of food was the best. So many different options. The service was the best, attentive and never let our mimosas go dry. The views are frosting on top of it all. Thank you for a great Easter
