Nice restaurant, atmosphere and service, but menu was limited. They were also out of the mocktail ingredients to make the drinks that were advertised. The Caesar salad was fresh and crisp. I added the salmon for an extra $12 which was perfectly cooked.

My experience at the Golden Hour was so beautiful. It had great city views, good music, and good food. I felt like I was in a movie. I would definitely recommend to family, and friends. Great for date night, or just a good night out with friends.
