5.00Very nice and smooth ride. Good service. Food is excellent. Be aware that there is music and dancing, but aimed at a younger crowd and ethnic oriented (hip hop).

5.00We were able to see waterfront views of Philadelphia. The DJ played the most current hits along with classic R&B hits. In this instance, it was nice and I’m definitely in tune with what was played, but being 63, some Smooth Jazz would have been nice blended in also. The food was exceptionally delicious and plentiful. My plate was always full at the buffet. Starting out was a bit rocky. It was difficult to get our first round of cocktails. Not sure the reasoning; understaffed, etc. Things smoothed out eventually. I give it 5 stars because of the city view, the food, and the staff who did their best to make it a memorable experience. They were professional. Also because there was an opportunity to have professional pictures taken which made it more memorable. I recommend.
The food was amazing and...
