We had their Thanksgiving dinner and everything was delicious. The service is outstanding. The GM even stopped by to see if we were enjoying our meal and shared a recipe with us. Highly recommend

Amazing service from everyone, from the people who greet you at the door to the people who serve the food to people just passing by as you walk. We had a big group and they were very accommodating. The food was excellent— risotto was creamy, short rib was tender, and the toffee pudding was a perfect end to a great meal.

The brunch buffet was definitely worth the price. I typically don’t like buffets but there were plenty of options and the food was consistently replenished. The baklava pancakes, the brussel sprouts and the seafood options were my favorite.
