4.0 of 5 stars. Happy hour is the best time to go; although it is often a standing room early. Best view in town. Service is typically stretched thin unless you're in the dinning area and then it is top-notch.

meat market

the happy hour is a complete meat market, but if that's what you're into, then the food is decent and the drinks are good. and of course, the view is unbelievable.
