Great view, but so-so atmosphere

This resembled a sports bar more than a restaurant. It is possible that if it was possible to eat outside, it would be better. They have a happy hour from 3-6PM, which is good. The menu selection is OK.

Thank SrgnFsh

Hi SrgnFsh, Thank you for taking the time to leave our restaurant a review. Typically, during the warm months we serve food on the patio; however outdoor service is always weather dependent. Hopefully you can join us for dinner again when the weather is nicer!

The view from the rooftop was fantastic, but the service sucked

My daughter recommended this place so we stopped in for a drink and some appetizers. The waiter gave us the menus and said a server would be out on the rooftop to service us. 15 minutes later, nobody had showed. So I ordered from the...More

Romantic, stunning view

It’s a wonderful setting for a romantic dinner out. Best view in town, plus the food is delicious and well-prepared. Lots of price points on the menu, so you can go fancy or get a burger. One of my favorites in town.
