   Great food as usual but the cocktail is a little water down and the glass is getting smaller while the price of the drinks go up. We always love to come back here for brunch .

   I’ve never been impressed with the food. Probably been 10x. The rooftop is fun when it’s warm for drinks. I’d say the decor really needs an update. View is nice the first 3 times but not that exciting. Drinks are not great. I’d say it’s food, drink and ambiance are college bar level but very elevated. Service is an 8 and decor has never been changed since opening(my guess).

   I was here for Valentine’s dinner, my reservation was for 6:45 got there 6:40 and was sealed immediately. The waitress was very attentive. The food quality was very good, from appetizers to dessert. It was a little pricey but didn’t mind because service, food quality and ambiance were all good.

    Lovely space with an amazing river view. Service was attentive. Food was disappointing. Every dish was too plainly presented and excessively salty. Really, really salty. From shrimp appetizer (drowning in butter and salt) to steak entree (drowning in too-salty peppercorn sauce), to Greek-diner caliber desserts, this place is no longer the food destination it once was. And the blackboard specials (Chicken parm Thurdays, etc.) only reinforce the perception that this place has fallen from its lofty heights. Yet, a wonderful room , ambience, and view--along with strong service-- make it a solid choice as long as you like your food plainly prepared and presented and very, very salty.
