We had a 5pm reservation. 2 hostess at hostess stand both left said they would be right back. Did not come back to seat us. Third person asked if we had been helped and seated us. This was not a good first impression. Our meal was good and came with dessert. It took forever to get dessert. We finally asked to get it to go as we were going to concert. Who gets dessert to go when meal comes with it after 2 1/2 hours?

The restaurant offers the best view of the city. The menu always offers at least a couple excellent dishes. My wife had the salmon; I had the snapper. Both were excellent. A peaceful and nicely appointed atmosphere with very good food.

Can’t make a proper mixed drink at all. Service took way too long and the food is worse than any fast food place I’ve ever been to. Do not recommend at all.

Great atmosphere. $21 for breakfast buffet was not a good deal. Waiting 30 min for an omelet, while others at my table finished their food, was not good.

The few was absolutely beautiful. The staff were so kind and sweet. The food just wasn't that amazing for me. It wasn't bad at all, nothing I'm not able to make at home, but if don't know your way around the kitchen. Then definitely you're place to go.

We have been going to this restaurant occasionally for many years and I felt prompted to comment that the last few visits recently have been incredibly better than in the past. The food has been excellent along with the service. What was, in the past, a food stop because we were going to see a show downtown, is now it's own 5 star dinner destination. Definitely worthy of the best views in CR!

Bang bang wings - ranch to dip
Hope Burger D with fries
Corn elote
Chocolate cake slice

The wings could have been more crispy by over all I would put them at a solid 8/10

The corn elote was absolutely terrible, corn tasted undercooked and they didn’t dress it, they gave me the stuff in the side and it wasn’t nearly enough. - 2/10

Burger was for my wife, she said it was good, liked the bacon relish with the caramelized onion. The fries which i did try were PHENOMENAL, one of the best I’ve had yet. 8/10

Chocolate cake slice - it was so decadent that the plastic fork couldn’t get through it without wanting to bend and break. It was VERY good. 8.5/10

What a terrible experience. We were attending a show at 7:00PM. I was hosting a few family members that were attending with us. We got there at 5:00 thinking we were going to have a nice leisurely dinner. I checked with the server, and she said we would be fine. Short version, the entrees arrived at 6:40, and we sent them back and offered to pay for the ONLY round of drinks we were able to get delivered to the table, and 2 appetizers. The restaurant waived the entire bill. (We still tipped the server since this appeared to be a kitchen issue, not a server issue.) It ruined the night. Everyone was so focused on the delay in getting our drinks and appetizers, and worrying about whether we would have time to eat our entrees, it became the dominant conversation rather than nice family banter. BTW, we watched with our jaws dropping as tables that were seated AFTER us were served. It appeared that they had ordered the same items as we had, burgers and salads. I understand that the restaurant is in the same building as the venue, but you would think they would have a plan for the higher demand on show nights and would be properly staffed and prepared. I will not be dining here again.

According to the menu, a mimosa and Bloody Mary bar was included. Both my wife and I ordered mimosas. She ultimately had a second (being Mother's Day and all). When the bill came we were charged for two mimosas. I asked our waitress about it and showed her the menu. She said that she thought it was a misprint but she would ask her manager. Kristen, the manager, came over and said it was a misunderstanding on my part and that only one mimosa was included for the mom. At this point, it would have been the end of the story, however...... Kristen then asked if we booked through OpenTable. When I said “yes” she asked if I write reviews and proceeded to say:”we would appreciate it if you would go on and give us an excellent review. Just don't include the mimosa issue.” Now that's some gumption!! Some would even say rude! Completely soured our visit!

I thought the food was good and the staff was very nice, but I left pretty underwhelmed for $45 per person. The Mother's Day menu was misleading showing it includes a mimosa and bloody mary bar, but those actually aren't included and you have to pay additional per drink. The price would make sense if it included all drinks, but without it seems extremely overpriced compared to other options in the area. Overall, it was a good brunch but I would never go back for the price.

Everything was amazing! They thought of it all, down to the very last detail. The food, people, service, city view and atmosphere all were fantastic. Thanks for hosting this. We will be back again and again!

Nice atmosphere with views of city. Food was excellent. Hot and tasty. Served canned beer with glass felt upscale. Waitress was very nice. Paper menus felt cheap. Seemed like every service took awhile to receive what we ordered. 1.5 hours to finish dinner even though there were empty tables, but also only 1 server for our side of the room. Ended up being rushed to finish dinner to see play but waiter boxed up to cheesecake to go. We enjoyed the dinner, but it could have been better.

This dining experience was great. Not very busy so a very relaxing atmosphere. Food was excellent and service was great! Liked the fact you can bring your own wine for a low corkage fee.
