We asked to love tables and was told no even though the restaurant was half empty. Luckily there was two spots open at the bar. The seating is not conducive to the view. The food lacked flavor. Jeremy at the bar was outstanding with menu knowledge. However the MUSIC was loud and over powering. The general manager was too busy socializing with the staff behind the bar to even care or pay attention to the customers or even the staff for that matter. We had a couple drinks and two tapas. We then cashed out and went across the street to the Chophouse where the service and food was exceptionally above this place. Food: 3 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1 Price per person: $30–50

We didn't question it at the time. Was that correct? That meant it was $33 a glass. I am wondering if the waitress made a mistake. We enjoyed the view and the waitress was pleasant and personable. But, the price of a house cab was unexpected and outrageously expensive. Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Price per person: $30–50

Food was great, Andi, our server, was fabulous! Worth the hype we’d heard from family friends!
