Excellent food, drinks, service and bright, open air ambiance. Had a delightful dinner with my wife, two daughters and their husbands. Elevated city view and perfect spring weather on a Friday evening made it extra special. Waitstaff is very knowledgeable about their extensive collection of wines and their mixed drinks are very good. Appetizers to main courses were all well prepared with great ingredients, seasoned just right and served nice and hot. Everyone loved their meals and we would definitely come back.
