Beautiful place, clean and comfortable. The drinks were great and the bartenders were personable and entertaining to watch work. The food items were flat out delicious. We tried six different items and they were all equally great. We will definitely come back soon!

Excellent dinner! Dining room seemed a bit loud so we sat outside where there were large heaters and blankets were offered (not needed). The food and service were top notch. Expect to pay over $100 per person but well worth it

My experience at the Golden Hour was so beautiful. It had great city views, good music, and good food. I felt like I was in a movie. I would definitely recommend to family, and friends. Great for date night, or just a good night out with friends.
