nice view, interesting access to restaurant and i'm fine with that, ambiance effect ect, good size kitchen for such a limited menu but what was offered was good, service was good, one bartender wanted to be something else but it's (again) fine, i'd go again when it's nicer so we could sit outside

Our waiter took care of us. I would totally go back again, pork belly buns and winter flatbread were tasteful, dirty martini 🍸 was good. Rooftop vibes was lit 🔥

Came for pre-dinner drinks and to catch the sunset. The sunset view was absolutely stunning. I’m not a Tequila drinker but tried the Zalamero based upon the servers recommendation, and it was delish. Tried the Pork belly buns and the Pomme Pave which were both very good. Definitely a place to try!

Vibes were cool but the drinks and food weren’t worth the price. Server was awesome but I can’t recall her name. You’re mostly paying for the location.

The staff and everything was great. We had a party of 8 and the table accommodation and the level of service was beyond expectations. The drinks were reasonably priced and I will definitely be returning again in the future.

The only negative was I booked a table outside but it was not where we could see the boat parade so ended up going inside. Food good and drinks very good

We apologize that the outdoor seating didn’t provide the view you were hoping for, and we appreciate your understanding as we worked to accommodate you inside.
