The food was delicious and stayed out until about 30 minutes before the trip was over. However, people were able to request desserts that hadn’t been put away yet! The staff was amazing! Our server found us up on the observation deck just to bring my husband another drink!

If you want a seat by the window make sure you book that. Food is great but never got my appetizer but they didn’t charge me for it. Drinks are great!!! View is amazing!!! Staff is amazing!!!
