on Citysearch Feb 13, 2009This place is criminally bad. Lets cover the one good thing first; the view. Nothing else is good. The food was not terrible, but I would rate it as 3 stars if it had been a $30 bill. It was a $300 bill. Furthermore, 20% of ... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 21, 2008Perhaps it was Valentines so they decided to play a trick on those who wanted to have a special dinner. Perhaps all the employees simply were exhausted. Whatever their reasons, their waiters, their hostesses, and ... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 14, 2008Absolutely terrible food and service. The menu is the worst in the city and besides the view there is nothing going for this place. The worst place in the city from high end restaurants. ... (more)
