I told our waitress it was my friends birthday. At the end of our delicious meal, she brought out a chocolate cake on a plate decorated for her birthday with a card signed by the employees. Thank you for helping make tonight a special birthday dinner.

This was about the most beautiful restaurant I've ever been to. The views are spectacular. The service is exceptional. It is pricy, but the ambiance was so nice I didn't think about it. It will be our special occasion place for dinner.

We came to celebrate my fiancé’s birthday. They were able to accommodate us with a booth request. They had a special menu with the words ‘happy birthday’ on his menu, cute touch. Our server, Brett, was phenomenal. Every dish we ordered he explained to the T, so no unknown surprises. He saw I was taking photos and grabbed another candle for me! Great experience once again. We love coming here and can’t wait for next years new menu! Cheers!
