    My husband and I came for a business trip for 5 days and we dined here 3 of those 5 because it was delicious and the service wonderful. The whole staff works hard to make it a dining experience. The beet salad, parm fries and bone marrow were outstanding and their cheesecake was the best I’ve ever had

I'm especially glad you loved the beet salad, parmesan fries, bone marrow, and the cheesecake. It was a pleasure cooking for you, and I hope we have the chance to welcome you back on your next visit!

    Fabulous food, but subpar service at the day we visited. It was my first time there, but heard wonderful reviews on the restaurant. Our reservation was on 4/25. We arrived early and had a drink at the Jade bar while we waited for our reservation. Our reservation was at 8. We went to check in at 7:57PM and our group was informed that they did not have a table ready for us. An indoor table would be available in about 10 minutes and an outdoor table (which we called to request preference for earlier in the day) would not be ready for another 30 minutes. We said we were willing to wait for an outdoor table. They sent us a message 10 minutes later saying outdoor is taking longer than expected, but they could sit us indoor immediately. We waited for another 20 minutes before accepting the indoor table. Once we sat down the wait staff was pleasant, but I did make a note on my reservation that we were celebrating birthdays. Birthdays were not acknowledged, nor were our waters refilled. Our meals and desserts were fabulous! There was a wedding going on that day at the resort, so I don’t know if some staff was assigned to assist with the wedding. Overall disappointed in the service for the what we paid for for our dinner.

    Our new favorite place. Food, ambience & service. The only downer were a few screaming kids next to us at Easter brunch. Once we retreated to the indoors, it was much more couples orientated.
