    Everything from the food to the service were great. It is as the name implies, open air. Therefore, be sure to wear something warm on a cold evening. For a first date, the noise levels were moderate enough to have a conversation, but you might have to lean in at times to hear your date. All said, I would go back. Tip: when you enter the hotel lobby, take a right to the elevators and go up to the second floor.
