    Beautiful views of the city. It may have been the best crab bisque I've ever had. My swordfish was moist and had just enough spice. The angel food dessert is unique and craveable. The team took great care of two members of our party that have dietary restrictions. We will be back!

    We went for restaurant week and the whole experience was better than I hoped for. The trout almondine was melt in your mouth delicious, the Mediterranean salad was plentiful and really satisfying....and desert was delightful. Service was excellent and very attentive, food was hot, and the atmosphere was really comfortable. Well definitely recommend dining here.

    We did the restaurant week menu and were very impressed with the number of options and the portion sizes. The fish entrees were cooked to perfection. Everything we ordered was delicious. Our server was very attentive and our courses arrived in a timely manner despite how packed the restaurant was. And of course the view is spectacular. Highly recommend!

    Everything we had was absolutely amazing. We went for restaurant week and the amount of food for the price was so good! We will definitely be back - even if it is just for the creme brulee. By far the best I have ever had!
