Beautiful setting for a preshow holiday luncheon. Parsnip soup and chicken were delicious. Shared the snowball for dessert which was perfection.

Sunday brunch - raw bar - exquisite! Many food choices for all palates from eggs and bacon to chicken and pasta were all excellent. The only disappointment to be mentioned is - although the brunch included a mimosa or Bellini, and coffee one if my guests ordered a Virgin Mary instead for which I was charged an additional $5. Not the worst thing that can happen but seems a bit unfair. So just a caution.

More casual than I remember, and noiser with lots of families with young children (we were there on the early side). Think we sat downstairs last time and it was quieter.
