   Food was extremely disappointing. Spring rollls tasted like they were frozen, thawed and cooked. The avocado toast was not what I expected. The toast did not tase fresh, it was cold. The over easy egg looked like it was cooked in used pan. Has brownish residue on top. The Eggs Benedict was equally as disappointing.

   Great place, great food, great service. Like all establishments though, I’d love to see the pricing get back to pre pandemic pricing. A glass of wine or a piece of cake does not need to be $12 to $14.00. Time to bring pricing back down.

   HORRIBLE male manager. Very bad customer service skills. Waited over an hour just for app and food. Ended up canceling the order and left. Went to a different restaurant. Manger was horrible about the experience.

   The kitchen had a rough night. Waitress was wonderful. View was spectacular.

   Thank you for your feedback, Robyn. Our apologies both salmon entrees were cold and seasoned a bit aggressively with pepper. We are thrilled to hear Emily took great care of you and everyone enjoyed the views last evening. We hope to welcome you back in the future, and we are always willing to re-cook your entree when it's not to your standard. We are thankful to have been able to prepare a new salmon entree for one member of your party, which they enjoyed.

   Good experience. A touch pricy for what it is but the restaurant is very nice with great views. Good cocktails and good service. We will go back again.

    The food was outstanding, and the server was attentive, though a bit too talkative. However, when I picked up my glass of water, it shattered at the base, nearly injuring my hand and drenching my clothes. Despite there being only two occupied tables, the manager didn’t come over to apologize, which was disappointing.
