Antoinette was my server and she made me feel so comfortable as a solo diner. I absolutely loved her. The chefs were nice as well, and I even got to take a picture with them. Overall, the food was excellent. Especially the honey and the peach drink. The portion sizes were Itty bitty, especially the dessert, but still very filling.
