My date night was over all great!!!! Our server was Max, he was amazing. He gave honest food options and knew the menu well. Food came out fast and was good. A little on the high side of the dollar but a great place so I didn't mind.

We had a vegan, a vegetarian, and two standard menus at our table. So nice to have everyone enjoy their own treats. My one recommendation would be to also make a curd and cream available for the vegan menu as well. Both very simple to make vegan. Other than that there wasn't a huge disparity in the menus. Each bite was delicious. We loved the beautiful decorations and the harpist playing background music. Despite the hefty price tag, I will return again to enjoy this delectable, special experience.

I had a good time overall. The food was worth it, and the staff was so kind. Unfortunately, I had a not-so-nice encounter with a customer who was staying at the hotel. She ordered food from her chair and shouted at the lady doing omelets. I found this to be extremely rude. The woman who ran the Omelette station handled the incident with care, but I felt the encounter should have been addressed on a higher level. It does not matter what or how much money you may have; you should not yell at anyone to fix you an omelet from across the station while other customers have waited in line.
