   We asked to be rated by the window and they said they were all booked, but reality was they staff didn’t want to clean the clean section that was closing on 30 minutes. We went at 130pm on a Sunday and felt rushed out the door. Waiter was hovering trying to get our order before the kitchen closed 20 minutes after we arrived. If the restaurant closes at 2, don’t take 130 reservations. Due to the view i want to go back for a happy hour in a Friday but this visit is making me second guess

   Best brunch in Bethlehem by far! The almond banana French toast paired nicely with the espresso martini

   It was my husbands and my birthday and we were given the corner table at the windows. Best table in the house. The meals we got were superb and we will be back!

   The food from the appetizers (crab and mango spring rolls and crispy chicken dumplings) to the main courses (seared salmon and featured butcher’s cut -strip steak) were well prepared, presented, and tasty. The trio dessert was generous and all three desserts were tasty and varied. Our waitress was very attentive and pleasant as was the waitstaff. The only negative (and it’s not really the restaurant’s fault) was the St Patrick’s party at the nearby bar. Towards the middle of our dinner, it was getting a bit out of hand. Two very loud women, who obviously had far too much to drink seemed intent on broadcasting to all of us what was on their minds. Most unpleasant.

   Great drinks. Nice atmosphere. A great combination of classic and casual. The steaks prepared for our table were perfect temperature. The short ribs were substantial - I couldn’t finish mine. The risotto was nicely seasoned. We also had the dessert trip which was a great way to end and be able to try three different items for the table. Well done!

   Our server was very attentive and super friendly but the food here is largely mediocre and the decor is so blah
