Along with the live band, you can also enjoy free-flow cocktails and upgrade to a special Taittinger and Pol Roger champagne package for a truly memorable experience.The restaurant’s brunch-goers also score access to its cliffside infinity pool – provided you can roll yourself over there after the meal, that is.
