Yelp.com Review - by Chris M.

4.0 of 5 stars. Love this place. Great elegant dinner with family. You don't have to wear a tie or anything but expect a little old fashion-ness. Ask for Angie as a server.

Still waiting!

The view is what attracted my husband and I to the place. The waiting time was sooooo long. The restrooms were filthy. The food..well, I can't remember. It had no flavor worth relishing. We are still waiting for change. I am starting to think we were over charged because we are still waiting for some change on that bill. I shall never utter the suggestion to visit this place again. To my husband, I apologize.
