The staff are friendly, although they don't need to be as it's constantly busy. Make reservations for meals a month or two in advance, but for starters and drinks without reservations, the bar is a great option. I had the roast sea bass and the Saumur Champigny and both were very exceptional.

Not holding that against the restaurant and strictly speaking about the food, we were very underwhelmed. We ordered drinks, an appetizer and 2 mains, and honestly didn’t think anything was that tasty. Everything was cooked fine but lacked the flavor to make it anything more than average. Unsurprisingly too, the menu is rather overpriced. If you want to come here for the views and a pretty picture it may be worth it. If you’re looking for a find dining experience, I’d recommend to go someplace else.

The view is stunning and it doesn’t fit many, so quite intimate. You’re paying more for the experience.

When we were first seated we could hear the waitresses complaining about not being tipped on expensive meals. I know we weren’t meant to hear that but it still soured our dining experience and the waitresses seemed annoyed before even serving us. The food was ok. The crab dip was delicious. The steak and sea bass were under seasoned but cooked and presented really well. The drinks are definitely overpriced $20 cocktails and $12 glasses of wine. Expect to spend 50-100pp. The service was good, after dark there’s not much a view so we made the mistake of reserving past sunset and could barely see anything try to go during the day to make it worth it. If I went back I would just go for appetizers and drinks before sunset.
