From the view to the food this place really nailed it! It's a little bit pricier but well worth it, I would highly reccomend the bread and oil appetizer as well as the fries! The steak and potatoes with peppers special wasabsolutely amazing. My only downside about this place was their desserts just weren't even close to the level their dinner wasat. Would definitely skip the dessert in the future. Otherwise I will be coming back and highly reccomend this restaurant!

The waiter who brought them mentioned that they were just sitting at the bar for a while and we noticed the ice in thedrinks had already melted. The pork chop came out absolutely raw in the middle so they had to refire the dish which took a good20-30 minutes. The rest of us were pretty much done eating by the time the dish came out again. She also forgot one of thedessert items we ordered so we just had to ask multiple times for items and remind our waitress what we ordered. Overall thetable favorites were the lychee-lavender margarita, shishito peppers, chimichurri chicken, and the lava cake.
