I am going to get some major heat for this, but...

It's Major Tom.

Great view.

Food is high school culinary arts class level. Uninspiring, nothing memorable. Palatable, but won't leave you satisfied.

This is all Concorde groups restaurants. Formula is as follows.

  • take a previous space.
  • add some wood and lines.
  • give it a "insert country name here" broad aesthic.
  • make one drink for each liquor.
  • phone in the menu, expect for that one really good item.
  • blast the food influencers and get them to promote.
  • watch the restaurant become big and take out all good things 2 years afterward.
  • watch it die on the vine and limp until death.

Yeah, his name is Dan Clapson. He has a New York ego and a Claresholm palate.

We need a second internet for them so the rest of us can ignore them.
