Lovely setting with a spectacular view. The restaurant has interesting cocktail and menu items. We particularly enjoyed the smoked cocktails. Unfortunately, the kitchen was slammed with large parties that night; therefore, our food arrived significantly late and were not up to its normal standard....Read More

Going for our 1-year anniversary after getting married at the venue last year… simply THE BEST scallops I’ve ever had.The signature cocktails are also top notch and match perfecting with the golden hour views from the patio.
