    Everything was good except the chocolate dessert, which was hard and had no chocolate flavor at all. The people who work there are wonderful ! The seafood was outstanding !

    A very beautiful restaurant. Service was amazing and the waiter was very knowledgeable. I was a little disappointed in the serving size vs. the price for the flounder. It was on the small side. However, it was perfectly prepared and very tasty.

    The restaurant view is a gem with breathtaking views, overlooking a magical city. The food was good but not great. However, the service leaves much to be desired. Staff seem disorganized and inattentive, with menus, orders, or even basic follow-ups. Server brought a dirty plate to the guest of honor. That was disappointing. Despite the lackluster service, the stunning setting and generally good cuisine could make a memorable overall experience, but some might be disappointed by the service experience.

    We had a mid-week birthday celebration and "that was a great meal" was the universal opinion. Stephanie, our server, was attentive and knowledgeable. Food selections included ahi tuna, Bronzino, flounder, crab cakes, shrimp and scallops - all delicious preparations!
