Amazing service! Good food and drinks!!! We will be back!
What a beautiful place to have a drink! We stopped here on our way to dinner on a Friday night and were able to get a table outside right away. The views are amazing! The drinks were pricey and service was slow, but it was worth it for the atmosphere. This spot is definitely worth a visit for the vibes alone.
We had a good experience all around. My only reason for giving 4 stars was that we sat there for about 10 minutes and had to flag someone down to get our drink order in. It was very busy but our server Carolyn saved the day by putting our appetizers and entree order in. After that the food (which was very good) came out in a timely fashion. Overall, we had a nice time and will probably visit again.
