    The location is great, our table on third level was nice as it was semi private. Not all our food came to us at the same time and drink refills had to be asked for a couple times before we got them. Food tasted good and portions were just right. Loved the desserts we had

    The entire ‘elevated experience’ of the team ride, the views, a nice walk and a lovely dinner create a great experience. The night lights are stunning.

    2 of us wanted a table by the window, but we were told tables by window are for 3-4 ,people. Later they placed 2 people at many tables by the window. Food was OK. I ordered ravioli with wild mushrooms. Sauce could be less salty. Prices are very high , especially drinks. $25 per coctail. For most people it is one time visit. So, be prepared.

    The food came out super fast, which makes me wonder if it was already prepared and not fresh. The service was nothing special, and since an automatic gratuity was added, the waitress didn't seem to put much effort into our experience and was robotic. The apple tart desert was actually very delicious but the entrees and service was not pleasant.

    Food came out cold. We told the waitress and after 5-10 minutes she brought out a new one that was just as cold. This dish was priced at nearly 50%. Seems that since they are the only restaurant they don’t feel the need to deliver quality food and still up charge like crazy. Save your money. Do the ride and dine option instead. Even though the food is served cafeteria style it tastes better and is served HOT!

    We asked for a burger, chicken sandwich and clam chowder as an entre, all delicious. Our server was attentive throughout our stay at the restaurant. No alcoholic beverages were order so our bill came out to about $80 with tip included for two people. I loved the atmosphere as it was quiet and we were able to enjoy the beautiful view up in the mountains. Would love to visit again.
