Fantastic food, as always. The menu varies little but the quality is always extremely high and guarantees a wonderful dining experience. We ate on the early side and it was very loud due the apres-ski crowd in the adjoining bar area. That can be enjoyable too, unless you want to actually have a conversation over dinner.
