    The views are absolutely amazing here! The staff are super friendly and the service is great. The cocktails are tasty however didn’t seem to be very strong. Some of the prices on the menu are a bit questionable. Overall the experience was great for a few cocktails with stunning views before dinner.

    The space itself is top notch. The staff was friendly and accommodating. But there were some issues during the dinner. They were out of a number of items on a Saturday night. The food service itself was very slow, and the quality of one of the steaks we ordered was not in keeping with its price. Overall we still had a good time, and the space itself has a special feel, but the quality of both the service and food was a notch below where it should be.

    Drinks were impeccable, particularly the clarified paloma and the celery martini. Food was excellent and reasonably priced. Service was impeccable and the design with the giraffe motif was gorgeous. Great vibes and beautiful and dressed up crowd.
