I had the home made ricotta- excellent. Waiter efficient and friendly
We had the most wonderful dinner last night! Our server, Cindy, was fantastic! She took the most amazing care of us. We took her recommendations for food and wine and cocktails. Everything was delicious! The restaurant is gorgeous! We will be back soon.
A Thousand Tales Restaurant offers an incredible open buffet with a vast selection of delicious dishes. The grilled options were particularly outstanding and flavorful. I highly recommend it for a delightful dining experience!
