    We were early, and had to wait ten minutes after our reservation time. But during the wait, we had a drink and watched football, so it was nice. Loved going up to the penthouse, and the service was top notch. Our first time at this restaurant, the food was amazing for two. The view overlooked the Wharf and it was beautiful. We had music playing. Overall, an incredible experience. We would return if we could have a different variety of food to choose from in the Igloo Menu A from our first venture.

    First time and our experience was superb! Every dish arrived piping hot - which is very difficult to do and I really appreciated it. The one flaw - I had one oyster Rockefeller that was quite sandy, otherwise the meal was perfect! Prix Fixe with the wine pairing was amazing. The sauce that came with the Wellington was incredible - very impressive depth of flavor! I’ve never finished a dessert before and I licked the plate of the sticky toffee pudding. Our server was super helpful, energetic, and attentive.i would highly recommend!
