For such a beautiful hotel, and price of the entrees, the restaurant just had no warmth or ambience. We were expecting at least tablecloths. The tables were patio type. The pork chop we ordered medium, and one had to be sent back because it was actually rare. But it was delicious after all, but then one of us had nothing to eat until it was re served. Also the menu when we got there did not have many of the entrees we saw on the on line menu. Our server was very attentive and friendly, and apologetic. Unfortunately, we would have been happier with the bar menu where we sat for a drink before dinner.

2 friends and I celebrated New Year's Eve with an early dinner here. The hotel grounds were crowded with people enjoying the lights and ice skating. We. had a table tucked away from the hustle and bustle and enjoyed a leisurely evening. The food and wine is pricier than I normally enjoy, but the service and atmosphere were worth it. The server did not rush us which was much appreciated. This may become a special event tradition.

Spectacular surroundings at a lovely resort. We came for brunch and the options were amazing. However be prepared to pay for the ambiance! Brunch buffet had everything from a crepe and omelette station, to prime rib and shrimp cocktail and everything in between. Delicious but very pricey.
