    Our waiter was superb. The food was spectacular. The portions were very very generous. There was a party on the upper level and the children were a little loud but other than that, I would definitely go back. This place is amazing and very busy well worth the money.

    So, this is going to be a weird reason why I gave four out of five stars: The portions are way too large. We took a lot of food home. To be fair, our server warned us. But these were much too much. Food was delicious, service was great. Atmosphere and view are spectacular. My suggestion is to charge a little less and serve normal portions. Too much delicious can sometimes not the best experience.
