Food: Flavorless dishes disappoint

The small menu here has something for every palate though it lacks in variety, leaving meals quite predictable. Though they use quality ingredients, the dishes often end up being rather plain due to lack of seasoning. The portions are disappointingly small and while the value balances out with affordable happy hour options, the bland taste of the food dims the overall dining experience.

  • Almost Creative

    Menu not large but offers something for everyone; not for children.

  • Small Portions

    Portions negatively surprised diners, being described as especially tiny or small.

Vibe: Quite loud yet spectacular

The restaurant's ambiance stands as a piece of modern luxury. However, the loud big band music overpowers, casting a shadow over the otherwise inviting vibe. The panoramic windows offer picturesque views that diners are fond of. Though suitable for date nights, some issues with space and service efficiency, as well as concerns about tight seating, slightly mar the dining experience.

  • Okay Ambiance

  • Bad To Entertain

    Loud big band music was annoying, overshadowing the dining experience.

Perks: Inconsistent yet accommodating

Paying $10 for parking might not sit well with all diners. However, on the plus side, the restaurant is quiet, promoting good conversation. Making reservations is recommended and generally accommodated well. While service can be slow, the staff is friendly and the spot is perfect for groups seeking private dining options.
