    The crispy Humboldt squid was not the best. It wasn’t crispy at all, it was soggy, oil-soaked and not tasty at all. Every other thing was manageable

    Fantastic view, as always. Great place to bring out of towers, and the food was excellent. One small inconvenience with a cup of cold coffee, bit it was replaced quickly once we caught the servers eye.
