    They didn’t have the Skytop lounge with the view that we reserved. They had a private event and put us in the terrace. I would gone somewhere else if they had been honest. I liked the waiter and they gave us a free dessert after the bait and switch, but wouldn’t go back. Had a foreign exchange student we wanted to have a great view and she didn’t.

    I came here on a Friday night and it was very nice. We had a small weight about 5 to 7 minutes and the hostess sat us with the views of the monument. The staff was very attentive, and I ordered the spinach dip. It was well cooked and they gave us enough chips for two people. I will say that the menu can be pricey if you’re looking for just a chill night, but if you’re OK with splurging a little this place is a go to Can’t wait to see what it looks like in the summertime!

    Would not recommend. The food was complete TRASH, it lacked taste, seasoning, and it was just slopped up on the plate. I had high hopes for this place but was sorely disappointed with the lack luster of the experience. Maybe it would be a nice place for a nightcap but not a dinner date on less you haven’t eaten in 5 weeks then maybe the food would be palatable.

    This restaurant is worth the view but if you are a foodie this is not the place. It was dirty, menus were handed with food smeared across it. Asked for another and it was also dirty.

    Beautiful spot great food great potential I did make a comment to the manager regarding the price point and the glassware that it served in does not meet the ambience in class of the restaurant. I’m sure you can work on that. Even if you break more glasses having nicer glassware, the price point that you’re selling your drinks at that way using that.

    Pretty disappointing brunch—food was really overpriced and service not great. View was nice but not worth the prices—maybe better as a cocktail spot, for brunch the ambiance was cold. Requested a window seat but wasn’t able to get one, and if you don’t have a window seat I would say it’s not worth coming here.
