Several say it gets crowded, two of them on weekends, when service can suffer, so booking ahead is advised.

People praise the food, the family-friendly vibe and the romantic rooftop, though some note the rooftop is so dim you can barely read the menu or see your food.

• RecommendsReally loved the food there.
• CaveatCalls it overrated and overpriced, only good for ambience; never satisfied with food versus price.

One commenter warns against it, so opinions are not unanimous.
