text: My inlaws love hitting the slots so as a result of having spent way too much time here and having lots of extra credits, I got a free meal and I couldn't have been more excited. I had been wanting to come here for a long time. We arrived early and sat at the bar and ordered a couple of cocktails. I got a glass of wine and my husband got a beer. The wine list is pretty impressive and not horribly priced. The had live music playing in the lounge which was really good. I was very surpised at the quality of the music. If I were braver I would have gotten up and danced. \n\nEventually we were lead back to back to the main dining room and I was floored by the view. Very nice! We were seated by the window facing west which I had read ahead of time was the place to be for the best view. The reviews were right, it was beautiful. If i were just here for drinks and the view I would definitely be giving this a five star review. Unfortunatelly the rest of the experience was less than impressive. \n\nWhen our waitress came over we asked her what she recommended for appetizers, of course she recommended the $80 oyester and clam plate. Her next recommendation were the two next most expensive items on the menu paired together. Really? I hate it when you can tell a server is trying to up their payout. Maybe she really did like those items, but she could have at lease sold them better. Her attitude was very cold and felt like she had much better places to be than waiting on us. We did get one of her recommendations, the anitpasto platter. It was good but i've had better. No one at my table seemed to like it besides me. Since it was a Spanish themed tapas platter, I think the ingredients were a little to exotic for the small town midwesterners I was eating with. \n\nWe then ordered our dinner. I had the strip steak with the farro corn pesto salad. It was very good. Very well cooked and the flavors of the salad worked really well with each other. When I asked my dining companions if they enjoyed their meals, they all seemed to think their food was good, but i think when you see the caliber of the restaurant you just expect more. Something to wow you. We were never wowed. \n\nI've seen other people mention this and they're right, if you're eating a 3 course meal expect about a 3 hour dining experience. I'm not saying this is bad, it's actually nice to sit amd just enjoy the views all night. \n\nFrom what I saw there's only one bathroom for both men and women. For a fairly large restaurant, this is surprising.  having to wait for a restroom after spending so much on a meal seems ridiculous. While waiting for the women's to open I saw a man and women walk out of one together. Seeing that just summed up my entire dining experience. \n\nThis restaurant definitely sucks you in for the views which are great, but they definitely stop trying there. They know they'll keep people comimg for the views so no need to impress them with service and food.
