If you're looking for a spot with an incredible view and great service, this is the spot. If you're looking for top food in Venice, it's a mixed bag at best.

We ordered some wine and they brought it in an ice bucket and were good to refill, but not feeling like they were pushing you to drink faster.

Bruschetta was simple; nothing special but nothing terrible. No balsamic or oil on it, probably the least exciting dish on our trip.

We got the sea bass dish as well as the sea bass with prawns and scallops. The fish was prepared table side and was pretty tasty, though both had a lot of bones in them. I get it's hard to get out but it was enough to make a comment on. The prawns and scallops were unremarkable, especially for the very high price tag.

Servers were helpful with wine and made us feel very special. So if you go, keep it simple on the food, get some wine, do some people watching, and enjoy the views. Just keep expectations low...

The host flat out refused to give me a table because I was a single person. I had been looking forward to this dinner all day and had planned my evening around going to this restaurant as it was my last night in Italy. At first, the host said they were full and it would be an hour wait. I confirmed that I would wait an hour and then he told me it wouldn’t be possible for me to get a table at all because I was only one person. I said I would get two courses but he said no and turned me away. Went to the adjacent square almost in tears because I was so shocked at the way he spoke to me. I’m used to getting the worst table in the house as a single person (which is also totally unfair) but this is the first time I have ever been turned away with no possibility of waiting or a minimum spend or anything. Went next door to Bancogiro instead and it was excellent! Go...
