    We come to this beautiful restaurant every holiday season with great anticipation. It’s always an amazing experience. We always choose the chef’s menu, which is always delicious. This year we thought some of the dishes were a bit vanilla. Im always so WOW’ed by the experience…I thought it was worth mentioning. Specifically the fish dishes could have been more creative. 🙂

    Beautiful room, warm and festive. Service was slower than I would have expected at a high end restaurant but the evening was lovely.
