The food and service was exceptional. It was a little crowded as many patrons were going to a show and needed to be served promptly. Next time we will book a table at 7 rather than at 6.

The food and view were Ok. Staff are quite nice too. Probably worth the money. I requested for Birthday Writings on the plate during the reservation. But, it was not provided and nobody told me that i should not be expecting for that too. Just a little disappointed as I wanted to surprise my partner.
