Excellent food, outstanding service from Gary and the support staff. Fine dining in a classy atmosphere that wasn’t pretentious. Wish the hotel lobby was more separated from the bar and restaurant but overall outstanding meal.

Our party of four very much enjoyed our dinners of tofu, salmon, and your signature pasta entrees. Excellent flavor throughout. Picky points include serving the salmon in a bowl rather than a plate to limit chasing the sauce with a fork. Also bringing the martini shaker to the table is a charming touch but dilutes the drink noticeably. And finally the coffee temperature was cooler than expected. Service by Daryl was superb.
