As usual an excellent meal. We truly enjoyed everything from the amuse bouche to the dessert. The service was equally outstanding. The goat and the mushroom pasta were our favorites.

The experience was amazing to share with my daughters. The only issue we had as a group was the service. We were one of the first to sit down and were the last to be served. Our food came and the princesses came out leaving our kids not eating. The children loved the experience. Hope there is more to come.
