   We were attending a dance competition in the convention center connected to the hotel. We booked a table at the restaurant for 7:45pm. Upon arrival, a guest sitting at the bar turned around and said "Find something else, I am waiting for 2 hours now and they are out of food". We were not sure if he was joking, but a bartender arrived and confirmed that they are out of food except for salmon... So, we left... (We had do find another restaurant in the vicinity that could feed us within a hour, bc we had to get back to the competition, this was very stressful) I have never experienced anything like this before, just unbelievable!

   Open Table booked me a reservation for a restaurant that has been closed for two years. Imagine on Easter Sunday showing up only to be told, "Sir we have not been open in two years since COVID" I showed her my open table reservation and she said well that explains why I have been getting all of these calls today. So I learned a lesson, also call the restaurant when using Open Table.

   We went to View 162 for Easter dinner with a reservation from Open Table in our possession. When we arrived, we found it was closed, so our evaluations are really just because it was closed. We want to try it again. But it's best to call the restaurant. Don't make a reservation through Open Door. The door may be locked.

   Came in for valentines after making a reservation and reading reviews. I was pretty excited. The ambiance was wonderful. I’m pretty disappointed with my experience though. This was our first valentines together and 1 year anniversary and we got all dressed up to celebrate only to have to wait a little over 2 hours for our food. They weren’t really busy, they just didn’t seem prepared for Valentine’s Day guests. The food was good but not worth a 2 hour wait. The waiter was good but he seemed a little overwhelmed by the chaos which wasn’t his fault. The lady who seemed to be in charge did come over and apologize and comped our main courses and appetizer which I appreciated. So she did make sure we were taken care of given the circumstances. Not sure that’d I’d be back for any important occasions.

   Could be much better. We went for Valentines Dinner and were seated just beside the entry area so had people who were waiting for tables virtually behind us. The food was sub par. We had Quail Eggs with Caviar for appetizer and the presentation left a lot to be desired. Nothing to write home about. For dinner we both had the scallops. While they were cooked properly, there was way too much bacon in the dish, and I say that as a bacon lover. It was WAY overdone on that aspect. Due to the noise, lack of romantic atmosphere and overall quality of food, we left sans dessert.

   The ‘front of the house’ failed the kitchen. Great food and ambiance (the view of the city) was undermined by a multitude of failures elsewhere. Just a sampling: Strangely, my wife’s meal came with my appetizer... assumed mine would follow. Nope. My wife finished her meal, with neither my meal nor our server ever sighted Finally got coffee refill: Cold. Took visits by three different servers to get our desert order put in. One nearby table waited over 30 minutes before getting menus; another table returned their meals because they were room temperature when delivered. An absolute epic failure on the part of the front of the house management. The kitchen staff should rise in revolt!.

   The Menu was very limited. I’m not very hoity toity, so the menu that night was not made for me. I Think you should always cater, even if in a small way, to people that like chicken and reasonably priced beef options. The service was amazing , but the food options were not completely thought out. I did enjoy my experience and the view was beautiful, but the food did not suit my taste. If you’re targeting a certain audience, then I understand. But in terms of covering your bases, I think some traditional menu items would help.

    Very pleasant environment and delightful server. We dined at a not so busy time, and the kitchen was a bit uneven. However, the server was quite pleasant, everyone was happy. Many reviews referenced what appears to be some slowness and inconsistencies. If you’re in a rush at all or intolerant of imperfection, manage your expectations. Lovely view. With modest effort from the kitchen and management, everything could be even better.
