It was a wonderful evening. The food was great and the evening views of the city from the harbor were beautiful.
Everything was great. Food was delicious. Wish they had more tables for two people, instead of sitting with other couples, it was sort of awkward for the conversation unfortunately.
It was great! The tour guide was wonderful and so were the staff. We took some amazing photos of the harbor
