I was so grateful that Altair was able to perfectly accommodate my family and I for a Christmas brunch. 17 people days before Christmas I can imagine was not an easy feat. The drinks and food were delicious. The service was great. We all had a wonderful experience. I cannot say enough good things about Altair And their staff. Our waitress was lovely, very accommodating and warm. The whole experience I can’t say enough good things.
