    The restaurant has a nice atmosphere with dim lighting and a relaxed vibe. I visited during the colder months, but I’d definitely recommend going in the summer to enjoy their outdoor seating—it’s much nicer than the indoor space (which isn’t bad, just not as much of a vibe). I went for a calm girls’ night and birthday dinner. The service was fine, and the food was good, but everything is very overpriced. While the dishes taste great, the portion sizes compared to the price feel a bit disconnected. One nice touch is that they offer a free drink if you’re celebrating a birthday. Overall, my experience was okay. It’s not a place I’d go to often, but if you’re looking for something semi-elevated for a friend outing or a small, intimate gathering, it could work. That said, nothing really stood out—it was just okay.

    I really wanted to enjoy this place because the view is genuinely amazing, but the overall experience was honestly terrible. When I first walked in, I only ordered a single shot at the bar since I was waiting for my party to arrive. After I closed my tab, the bartender made a snide comment to another bartender about people “just walking in to buy one shot and leave.” Even if it was meant jokingly, it felt unprofessional and unnecessarily belittling. Once my group arrived, we waited quite a while before anyone took our order. The menu itself felt pretty limited, but we ordered anyway since we were already hungry. When our food finally came out, the server with long dreads accidentally let one of her dreads fall directly into my fry basket. By that point I was starving, so I just avoided the fries entirely. The burger I ordered was just okay nothing special and honestly pretty lackluster. My friend had it worse: their chicken dish arrived somewhat undercooked, and they ended up having to send it back and order something else entirely. Between the questionable service, the disappointing food, and the overall lack of care in the dining experience, the view was the only good thing about this place. Unfortunately, the view alone isn’t enough to make me want to return.
