We had an absolutely wonderful experience. We were seated next to a family with extremely unruly children. We asked to move, and we were moved immediately. The food was delicious, the service was impeccable, and our experience was wonderful. The views are pretty incredible, too.

The entire experience was incredible. There were five tables of two that were nicely spaced apart. There was an open kitchen so we could see the four chefs while they prepared each course. The three servers and Sommelier were top-notch. We loved the ambience and the food was amazing. One of the best Michelin star restaurants we’ve been to.
