Our server, Catherine was lovely! We enjoyed the Atlantic Salmon and Cauliflower Steak followed by a decadent chocolatey Opera Cake…backdropped view of the moonlight over the Atlantic ocean and a perfectly paired bottle of New Zealand “Te Muna” Craggy Range Sav Blanc! Delightful. All of the staff were gracious and helpful -we even had a visit from Michael Western the Food and Beverage Manager to tip the last splash of wine in our glasses! Music 🎶 from Founders Lounge was lively and yet moderate background to our evening dining. It was a truly magical evening at White Point!
