View was amazing. Waiter and busier had amazing customer service and attention. Noticed the person who sat us was a bit more merry with the table before us. One negative was the dessert was not good at all. Ordered the cheese cake and the chocolate cake. The main dishes were delicious. We had the steak and the Cesar salad. Wish they had fresh ceviche or calamari as an option for appetizers.
