    Easter was a hot mess. Not enough staffing. We were there for almost 4 hours because service was so strained.

    Our reservation was for 7:45 checked in earlier so we can enjoy the bar which was awesome! They did not sit us until 8 ish but was worth it because we got the middle edge with the best view 🙌🏼 we did the “I’ll take my chances” on the menu and everything was delicious! Our server was the best!

    Beautiful view. We were seated at one of the 5 tables that both people can’t see the view. App was great! Waiter forgot our bread. Lobster potato was barely warm, sent back and it was just barely warm, 14 ounce steak stringy & chewy. Crab cake appetizer was fabulous.Specialty drink with juniper berries. was great. Desert offering was minimal, 2 chocolate deserts and key lime pie. Worth it for the view, food/service lacking

    We came for Sundays brunch. Good times, food was amazing. The view was breathtaking. Couldn’t have enough. Service was a little slow actually very slow. Our server seem very behind on his tables. Was a 35 min wait for our drinks every time. Management was very nice. I can’t wait to come back for dinner. They say dinner service is on point.

    Our reservation was at 8:30 we arrived at 8:20 we didn’t get seated till 9:00 already to a bad start . I remember the food being better it was pretty mid nothing special . Steak could have been cooked a little longer for my taste but it was okay . Lobster mash needed butter over all it was okay . We went for our anniversary and didn’t get anything special deserrt or a nice menu or anything view was nice but we got seated inside . Overall felt very chaotic too many people everywhere
