3 stars because my dinner there some years back was 5 stars, and the lunch I just had was 1.5 stars.

Summary: dinner was great when I went there some years back. Lunch is super disappointing (the menu is bistro-like without higher scale options).
I talked to one of the chefs (David) after I got home and he agreed that the lunch options are priced to be affordable but nowhere close to dinner. I tried to make a good meal out of the lunch menu, ended up paying $130 and it was just super disappointing. I should never have gone for lunch.

The lunch menu options were sad, barely bistro quality for most dishes, embarrassing.
They did have a caviar appetizer. The caviar was good quality but the blinitz had a bad sour after taste. I pointed that out when I was done (I ended up eating the caviar with the brochure instead) and the chef agreed they were bad.
But i got no discount or compensation of any kind for something that shouldn't have happened in a restaurant like this. It's not like I needed the discount, but it was surprising they did nothing to fix the mistake.

So, I may go back, but definitely not for lunch again.
The view is still great though.
