One of the best restaurants I've eaten at since I've been in the US. Absolutely great outlook, get there before sunset. Delicious food served in a very timely way. The service was outstanding. The Gin cocktails were top quality.

They have a vegan dish of squash and tomato sauce that was very good. The view at sunset from our table on the patio was spectacular. We didn't have reservations, so had to wait 45 minutes on a summer Saturday night, but it was worth...Read More
