The view was everything but due to it being windy we couldn’t really see to much over the hill because the blinds were pulled down so was alittle sad about it. But the food was amazing ( Surf and Turf ). Will definitely be back to try breakfast and hope that its not windy this time lol. Thank you Five on the Hill.
