Great Service, Drinks, and Views!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! The service was excellent, and the creative drinks were a highlight. The views were absolutely stunning, making it a place I would definitely return to. One thing to note is that the patio can get a bit warm on a sunny day, so bringing sunglasses is a good idea. Parking was a breeze and inexpensive thanks to the nearby garage on Falcon. 😎

Close but No Cigar on Food
My experience at this restaurant was a mixed bag. The service was excellent and the cocktails were fantastic, but the culinary experience didn’t quite deliver. The oysters lacked acidity and salinity and were slightly on the warm side. The Brussels sprouts had great crispy texture but needed more flavor and depth. The lamb was cooked to a great temp, but it felt incomplete without a sauce or starch, and its placement on a bed of salad was unexpected. Each dish came close to perfection, yet every one seemed to be missing a key element. Considering the price, the gap in value was very hard to ignore.

Annoying Wait Time Despite Empty Seating
When going upstairs, they take your name and then make you wait 10 minutes even when it’s empty upstairs. It’s just annoying. There are many ways to be exclusive, but pretending that you are busy when you aren’t is lame. The wait time was 10-30 min, which was annoying. The service received a score of 1, and the atmosphere and food both received a score of 3.

Worst Thanksgiving Dinner Service Ever
My experience at this restaurant for Thanksgiving dinner was the worst I've ever had. The sides came out first, and frankly, I've had better at Hometown Buffet. Forty-five minutes later, the mains arrived. My turkey plate was cold and unseasoned. Even worse, my wife's roast beef plate was inedible; we initially thought it was a dull knife, but she actually had to spit it out. I cannot believe the kitchen would send out such a dish. We left hungry.

Good food, poor service ending
My experience at this restaurant was good until the very end. We spent $500 and had a pleasant dinner until we were asked to move from our table for "the next guests". This was a disappointing end to an otherwise enjoyable evening.

Anniversary Dinner Perfection!
My husband and I celebrated our 17th wedding anniversary at this restaurant on Saturday, 11/15, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience! The gorgeous view, despite a bit of rain, set a beautiful scene for our special night. Our server, Daniel, was exceptional – incredibly knowledgeable and helpful, answering all our questions and offering excellent menu recommendations. He was also very accommodating and kind when I made a mistake with a drink order. Daniel truly made our night perfect; he's my favorite server ever! We started with the warm rosemary rolls, which were divine – herby, not overwhelming, and melted in your mouth with the butter. The oysters were fresh and delicious. The patatas bravas are a must-try and did not disappoint. For our main courses, my husband enjoyed his ribeye with potatoes and vegetables, and I savored the coconut milk poached seabass. Both dishes were cooked to perfection with nothing to critique. The drinks, including the Trouble in Paradise, Divine Garden, and Fleeting Flowers, were strong but well-balanced, perfect for sipping. We received a complimentary dessert for our anniversary, a sweet touch. We also ordered the Butterscotch mousse souflee, which was the perfect balance of sweet and smooth. While the restaurant is a bit pricey, it is worth every bit of it for the experience. We will definitely be back! A side note: the menu changes often, so don't rely on online menus for the exact offerings. Overall, it's a great place that I highly recommend. Don't deny yourself this experience!

Average Food, Questionable Wine Service
My experience at this restaurant was largely defined by average food and a concerning interaction regarding the wine. I inquired about trying a specific wine, and upon tasting it, I asked how long the bottle had been open. The bartender initially stated 'recently, ' but upon further questioning, admitted it had been open for 'around a few days. ' Despite this, I proceeded and had a glass of Nebbiolo, which was fine. The food itself was also very average. Given these aspects, I won't be returning.

Beautiful Location, Mixed Food Experience
My experience at this restaurant was marked by a beautiful location and truly outstanding service from Sydny and the entire support staff. However, I found the menu and wine list to be complicated and very pretentious. While the Triple Cream and Potato Bravas starters were quite good, the swordfish tasted burnt and was served over a soup rather than a bean stew. The kale salad also lacked flavor, leading to significant disappointment.

Mixed Experience: Great Service, Disappointing Food
My experience at this restaurant was a mix of highs and lows. The service provided by Daniel was superb, earning a 5-star rating. However, the food and drinks were a letdown in terms of value. While the cocktails were delicious, they were small and overpriced. The appetizers, including mussels escabeche, Spanish octopus, and baked triple cream brie, were all delicious. A point of contention arose with the bread for the mussels appetizer; we were initially told we could get more, but when we asked, we received a small portion and were subsequently charged $6 for it. The pasta entrees took a considerable amount of time to arrive, and when they did, they were disappointing. We found numerous shrimp shells, a sharp spine-like object, and the shrimp was overcooked and tough. This was particularly odd given the long wait, suggesting the dishes were rushed despite the delay. The overall prices felt outrageous for the quality, further compounded by a 4% surcharge that we had removed. Despite these issues, I tipped Daniel for his excellent service and might consider returning for appetizers and the view, but not for a full meal.

Great Views, Food, and Location
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic. The panoramic views were stunning, and the location was excellent. Parking was surprisingly manageable. I could easily see myself bringing new business clients or out-of-town guests here. The food was great, and I'm already looking forward to returning for happy hour.
