    Excellent but, we were seated in the outdoor section not in the main dining room as we booked. Our table looked fine but was positioned at the exit way for the out door seating which made it feel as if the table was added in and not part of the original seating plan. Lots of foot traffic past us was kind of annoying. Service and food was great though. Maybe I will call next time for reservation’s .

    This place never disappoints. We had a nice table outside and the sun was just setting--it was beautiful. The service was great and the food was delicous. Just the right amount as well, both my husband and I were able to finish our plates. The place is just stunning--inside and out!

    Expensive and worth every dollar! My husband and I came here for the first time for our anniversary. The hostess was pleasant. Our waiter was awesome. We felt well cared for! The property is beautiful, next time I want to come during the day and sit in their outdoor area which has amazing views. Very happy with our experience here!

    Being sat in a walkway was not desirable especially when other options were available. The pour on the glasses of wine was not equal and the bread was considered an appetizer and had to be paid for separately. Most high end restaurants serve bread baskets freely. Food was ok. The dessert was great.

    The food was not as good as what it has been in the past. They allowed a woman to use her camera and shoot all the dininers while they were eating. i did not like that and when the waitress came to her table she did not make her stop. I did not wish to have my picture taken or disturbed while I was eating my meal that cost around $140.00 a plate with two drinks. It will be sometime before I go back.

    It was a nice visit. Ambience was very nice. They have an excellent wine menu. The main entrees were great. Presented very well. Enjoyed the herb crusted pork dish and the pasta dish. Lots of flavors and complexity. Got the side of spinach which was very disappointing. It was very much just blanched spinach with some garlic thrown in, I would not recommend that. Dessert was also disappointing with the flourless s'mores cake. It was very dry, maybe left out for too long. They ended well with some complimentary orange chocolate truffles. Overall very much enjoyed the setting and mains, which I would come back for.
