The beef, salmon, vegetable dishes, butternut squash bisque, breads, fresh honeycomb honey, and all of the elegantly prepared desserts were breath-taking and so delicious. Thanks for making our culinary experience so special!!!

Girls lunch and everything was perfect. Everyone enjoyed their food. The ambiance was spot on for the holiday season. This was my first time there, and I plan on going back soon. I had the Deluxe Salad, and I don't remember ever having a salad as good as that one. Service was amazing, too! Warning, parking can be difficult, but going there is worth the hassle.
