The food and service were great. The Women’s Restroom, however, was very dirty and needed attention.

We went for my daughter’s birthday, everything was very nice. The noise level was pretty high and I have a hard time hearing with so much noise all around so it was a little tough to carry on conversation. Other than that the food and the cocktails were very good. Service and the views were very nice.
