    Beautiful room, great service, but less than mediocre fodd at high prices. Lunch today, two of us were the only diners there from 12:15 to 12:45, joined by two more couples before we left at 1:20.

    Very good food, but should have been better for the price. Abundant wait staff, but inattentive even though not very busy. Never refreshed water. Never asked how things were. Never asked if we needed anything.

    Unfortunately, some of the items that they listed on the menu they didn’t have, such as cheese? Not sure if they just opened, but that was a little disappointing. The restaurant itself is very pretty and the food was pretty good.

    Average food, slow service even though restaurant was mostly empty, coffee was terrible (double expresso was a single expresso with the rest of the cup filled with hot water).
