I can’t say about the food as we didn’t get any but it wouldn’t let me proceed without adding stars and seems do I thought the rest was 5 * I couldn’t not give it that. We were impressed right from the start the team was so good and attentive. Even though we didn’t get a table at the front we got moved as they became available. The view was amazing we went just prior sunset so we got the best of both views. Highly recommend as a special treat. Decor ambiance and service was so amazing. Thank you
