Daralyn B., who reviewed the new spot on Aug. 19, wrote, "The view is incredible. It's a great place to have a drink and watch the sunset. Four of us decided to have dinner and got a table with a view. I ordered the margarita pizza, which was really good and moderately priced ($10, I believe)."
Yelper Amanda J. added, “The pizzas were great, as was the beef sandwich. The prices are really reasonable — I was expecting an expensive hotel restaurant, but it's definitely not that. The service is great, there's a variety of food and a beautiful interior."
