Amazing. Everything was great! I loved the sightseeing with the historical facts. And the food was delicious. Watching the sunset while listening to live music was exceptional.

The complimentary drink is watered down. The food is blah and not enough. They served us 2 ribs, a scoop of rice, disgusting curry vegetable goop and a roll. For 2 hungry boys, thst wasn’t enough. They asked if they could get something else, they brought them a roll each!! It’s not worth the money. Save it and do something else!!!

This was a great time with my sisters. We were all celebrating birthdays!! The staff, especially Nika, were amazing. Nika kept us entertained as heck. 🤪 The historian was so knowledgeable and a great speaker. The food was a surprise at how delicious it was. Thanks again for a wonderful evening on the water.
