This place was very beautiful. Enjoy my experience. The food was good. Service was great. Only thing I didn’t care for was the music for such a beautiful elegant place they wasn’t playing Christmas music that wasn’t playing jazz music or instrumental music they were playing techno music I did not care for that in such a beautiful setting. The music should’ve been jazz , Christmas,something soft playing not techno music that really threw me off in such a beautiful setting
