I had the most wonderful time on Valentines Day! I am not big on alcohol of any sort but our waiter gave me the best recommendation ever. I now swear by the dessert moscato, Di’asti Emilio Vada. I didn’t get his name but he has totally turned me into a wine drinker (responsibly) LOL! Everyone there was so sweet even the woman that paid for the wine she also recommended. I LOVED the appetizers! I had fresh burrata & foccine. I had the best time. Thank you so much for making my love day special.

My experience at the Golden Hour was so beautiful. It had great city views, good music, and good food. I felt like I was in a movie. I would definitely recommend to family, and friends. Great for date night, or just a good night out with friends.
