    Well I have been dining here over 25 years but today will probably be my last 20 minutes to be offered water 30 minutes to take an order which was watery cold and inedible (crab and prawn linguine) my wine had to be returned as it had obviously been opened a while and the waitress could not have cared less offered nothing in return for this shocking display nor a discount or apology.

    Great place in regards to the view but you pay for that and the name. The food is average to good but should be better for the price. They need to up their game a bit more across the board we felt. We will go back and hope that there is improvement.
