Overall a very good experience. My one recommendation is to have heaters around the tables and chairs. Since it is all outdoors and it get chilly after sunset.

We sat on the outdoor patio. It was a beautiful evening and the view is amazing. The Wagyu Tacos and the Truffle Fritas were delicious, while the cauliflower as just ok. The drinks were beautifully crafted, and the Hibiscus Collin’s is the best version of a Tom Collin’s I’ve ever had. The servers were attentive. A great evening out!
