The food was delicious, and we all enjoyed. Our only issue is that we new it was costing 50.99 for each plus an alcohol drink, but once we got the bill we seen charges for the desserts and coffee. We felt this was extreme, we eaten at many places for Thanksgiving, and always desserts and coffee was included with buffets. Our meal for 3 people was 256. Without tip.

The experience was delightful. The food was a bit pricey but it was delicious. We were there early. Only a few diners along with us. But when we left the crowd started to grow. Our server, Santiago, made the experience. It was our first time there and he did a great job explaining how everything worked.

The one thing that took away from the experience was the music. Given the elegant setting, I was expecting something sophisticated and subtle to match the atmosphere. Instead, the playlist felt oddly out of place especially with their spotify ads, making it feel more like an average restaurant than the high-end experience it aimed to be. It was distracting, and at times with the noise level, even made it difficult to immerse myself fully in the atmosphere. If they reconsider the music selection to better align with their otherwise upscale vibe, this place would be flawless.
