Gorgeous, glamorous and opulent environment. Definitely one of the most beautiful spots I’ve been to. The service was good, but food was very mediocre to be honest, especially in contrast to the quality of the surroundings. I didn’t feel like they had a good variety of options on the menu. I had the salmon and while it was very well-cooked, I found it to be a little bland and flavorless. But I would still come back in the future for their great cocktail menu.
