Taking a detailed, seasonal, and sustainable approach with small and large plate offerings, the kitchen brings new life to the favorite hallmarks of American oyster bar fare and raw bar.

Every dish was perfect. Our server Erica was incredibly attentive, made excellent suggestions, and truly helped elevate the experience. Every dish that came out was immediately consumed down to the last morsel. The drinks were exceptional. The ambience magnificent. We’ve eaten at 1 and 2 star restaurants and this place is on par. Bravo!

Fantastic place, ambience is beautiful as you literally are on top of the city. Food and drinks are a little pricey… obviously… you have to pay for top notch service with views like this. Food cooked to perfection, and host accommodated my request to sit on a certain side of the building (for the view). Can’t wait to come back.
