The food and service was excellent as usual. The noise level was the only negative part of this visit. There were many holiday dinner parties in our dining room, and one was particularly loud. Our server Destiny was fabulous!

Superb dining experience. Wished we had gone during lunch hours to better see the views that were still amazing at night. We ordered the lobster for two and it was epic. With this dish, I recommend ordering a side of asparagus if Mexican sides do not appeal to you. The scallops with raisins were amazing too. The servers were friendly but professional. 10 out of 10
