Sneak Thief: 9/10 experience. Great view, excellent food and wine (tappanappa tiers Chardonnay is the one we got, $200 approx. very good!!!) the only thing from it not being 10/10 was the service...!
Joanna Burton: Great food and super view. Fab service. Top vibe. All 'round excellent!
Monica H: Views are amazing. Salted caramel martini is AMAZING. Don't be suckered in the foie gras tortellini though, its not that great. Not a bad place to eat for a special night
