Beautiful Holiday display throughout the foyer and restaurant to make it that more magical. We were a party of 8, and everyone enjoyed their meal. Special rib eye and lobster tail was perfectly prepared. Tuna dinner was delicious with just the right seasoning. Rack of Lamb was delicious. Portions were very large. Overall a great dining experience.
