    The salmon was fantastic, and the bass practically melted in the mouth. Exceptional preparation!

    Had the Valentine’s Day experience, the starters were a bit mediocre. For entree I had the surf n turf, the filet was the star of the dish for sure. The lobster tail was overcooked, and a bit salty for my liking. Finally the dessert, which was excellent. Service was good though

    Came here for New Year's Eve with my boyfriend. The menu was prixe fixed at 90 pp. The food was okay. Some of it had too much going on in it. Overall great service and nice ambiance and romantic atmosphere with a nice view as it is on the 19th floor of the hotel. Would come back and try it on a non-holiday day. Or for lunch maybe. Nice looking bar also.

    Went for NYE and was not aware there would be a set menu. Options were decent but $90 and not have advertisement on the website is frustrating. Additionally, 2 of the cocktails on the cocktail menu were “out of stock” and the other drinks were brought to the table before the waiter told us two couldn’t be made. We ordered 2 bottles of wine to enjoy with the entree. The food came about 5 min after ordering the bottles. We waited almost 10 min before the waiter came to tell us the manager had to go to the basement of the hotel to get the wine bottles. Another 5-10 min later the manager comes up and tells us that wine selection is ALSO out of stock.. then offered another bottle which took another 10 min to go get and uncork. We all finished our meals before the wine finally arrived. Food was very good but temperature of the steak that was meant to be rare did not come out rare. Then we tried to split the bill and turns out we were all charged different amounts and overcharged. Would not return.

    Too dark. Excellent, attentive service. Why do you wish to require a longer commentary than the writer wishes to submit!

    There was almost no one present in my meal came out cold. I sent it back and they heated it up but it led to the prime rib being overcooked. It was pretty disappointed by the quality of the food.
