    It was almost Christmas when we visited so it was very crowded. So the noise level was high and service was slow. The view course was beautiful. I’m glad I went once but I would not go back.

    Unfortunately the experience fell short of my expectations. The furniture was cheap, decorations were minimal, they were understaffed and the whole mood was giving sad. For $23 a cocktail I would expect more.

    Outdated. Needs a refresh. Service was good and drinks were good, but vibe wasn’t as great as I remembered in the past. Wouldn’t go back as is.

    So very outdated. Normally the views are wonderful but with the all the humidity in the room, all of the windows were fogged up and nothing was visible outside. Negatives: > The decor is outdated > Food offerings and presentation need improvement. > Wine/sparkling offerings: Lackluster and no imagination - Core basics with not much to them.

    Not as I remember it from years past. The maître d’ was abrupt and unwelcoming. Perhaps he was having a bad day. The wait staff was scarce and appeared unhappy. I’m unlikely to return.
