Haven't been here for thirty years and brought my cousin who liked the view from the Chart House who I guessed would appreciate the view from the Bank Corp Tower's thirtieth floor. The pork belly appetizer was interesting. Excellent clam chowder. Brought the blackened shrimp home to dilute the spicy noodles with some romaine. Not to worry, we had a lovely lunch, identified the bridges, and enjoyed the outstanding service.

Great experience overall! Our only constructive piece of feedback is that the cheese board could be more generous. The cuts were very small and hard to share amongst 3-5 people.
