Specialty cocktails were quite tasty. I enjoyed my Caesar salad and ribeye but my dinner companion was less happy with her brussel sprouts and salmon. Decor and view were very pleasant.

Great service but food wasn’t cooked as expected and a little highly priced for the market. That being said, if my medium plus wasn’t medium rare, I would have enjoyed it better.
