great ambiance and vibes, server could have been more personable but service was good. food is terribly overpriced, small portions, and did not taste great. drinks were good. I’d go here for drinks and vibes only and save the food for later.

Have been here multiple times and this was by far the worst. Slow service, had to find the waitress to check out. Simply not worth the 5 star prices for a 5 star view but 2 star service and food.

I loved the view and the drinks, i do feel like the food menu can change. I ordered the Lamb Shank - Wasnt a fan it was pretty gainy Also ordered crab toast - it was different but it was terrible. The best thing we ate was the oven baked oysters. We also had baklava for bday cake but it wasnt all that. 3 rounds of double shots of hennessy Total spent was $208 - was it worth it no. Did i have a good time - yes. If i visit again i will probably just stick to drinks

It was our one year wedding anniversary and we asked for deck seats but got sat in bar w no view. Dinner was served and mid meal the waitress we had was able to move us to the deck. Wait staff was so nice but management of special occasions requests weak. The waitress brought us complimentary Prosecco which was super kind. Food was ok but maybe we ordered less tasty options. Seemed like small portions and pricey. All and all it was a good time but we won’t rush back for the food. We may at some point pop in for a cocktail and be one and done.

Came to enjoy the view and celebrate our 29th anniversary. Christopher did an excellent job taking care of us including describing the different flavors, herbs and prep of this fantastic Syrian inspired food. Great wine list too and of course the view!
