Terrible service and avoid this place if you don't want to waste time not hitting the slope! Although the view is 100%, the service has been unbelievably bad: we waited 10 minutes after seated but nobody came to take the orders, so we called someone and asked if we may order, they said "wait another 5 minutes but I can get you drinks now", so we ordered some drinks (and one of them never came).

View is one of the best in the world. Northern Italy comes close, some places in New Zealand as well. The Rockies are nice but not as...

Great views great drinks. Take us about 15-20 min to get a table outside with a view.
Not sure if other reviews trashing the service for being bad and slow are just americans used to fast service rushing people in and out, but its europe and people take their time. I didnt mind, i wasnt in a rush, and just enjoyed myself with friends great views and great food/drink.
I wish i could come back soon. But im...
