    Beautiful spot, food was great but a tad on the pricey side. With that said, the price does reflect the quality of the food, its presentation, and the careful planning of the space to make it comfortable and fun to sit in and eat.

    While the food and service was good, there wasnt that great of a food selection. You’re basically paying for the views.

    Got the burger and Cesar salad - both were great. Not a greasy burger but good substance and flavour to it. Service was good too, and the vibe was bustling without being too loud and overwhelming. Plus the views of course!

    Amazing food and great service. The lobster spaghetti was top class. Our waitress gave an excellent wine paring for the pasta and she was extremely good with the way she made us feel welcomed. We were there for my wife’s birthday, and they accommodated us with a sparkler and a personal birthday wish note, which added a nice touch to the whole evening. Overall an excellent experience and would definitely visit again !
