Went for the view and the atmosphere and sadly thats all we got.Service - Took more than 30mins to take the order, food almost an hour and the bill, another 30mins. This was a Thursday mind u. It was my birthday and my wife had requested when we order desserts, a small celebration. They didnt even remember. Sad. Was expecting so much.Food - pretty bland tbh. The soup was good and nothing more.Atmosphere and the view - beautiful. Great place for a nice beer and a drink. Not for dinning given the taste in food.
My friends and that I went for happy hour. When we arrived, we were told there was no more happy hour despite it advertised on their website. Disappointed. We stayed and enjoyed the gorgeous water view on the heated patio. Food comments: overpriced calamari for the quantity; roasted beet salad was good; truffle chicken linguine was decent; good pizza crust; no comments about the salmon bowl. Opera cake yummy, would have liked more. Great service from our server.
If you’re looking for a wonderful place with ambiance and a calm, relaxing view, this is a great place. They have a very relaxing patio. However, if you’re looking for a good food experience, this place is absolutely terrible.We ordered four main dishes. The mushroom linguine, the cod, the crispy chicken burger, and the margarita pizza.RatingsI would give the mushroom linguine 8/10Crispy chicken burger 1/10The cod 4/10The margarita pizza 2/10This was probably the worst crispy chicken burger I have had in my life. I recommend going to Wendy’s if you want to have a better experience. KFC will give you a crispy chicken burger than this. The burger was extremely soggy and soft. I’m not sure why it’s called a crispy burger if there is not a single crisp to it.The margarita pizza had very little
We love the view. Food and service were good. Maybe more heater lamps or have blankets available for patio seatings would be ideal. They provided a complimentary dessert for the birthday person.
We stopped in here before going to the Symphony, thinking we would just enjoy a bite with a nice view. We were so pleasantly surprised to have a very high quality meal, brought to us by engaging servers and staff. The portions sizes were just right. I had the vegetarian bowl and my husband had the cod. Soooo yummy! We will definitely be back! Note: get reservations if you want the patio.
