Five of us tried many different dishes on the Thanksgiving Day menu, everything was fantastic. Princess was very thoughtful and made sure the vegetarians knew where the non compatible ingredients were in the dishes and advised them accordingly. The terrace was beautiful on this day in the low 60s. We will 100% be back

My main complaint is when we were seated there were a bunch of empty tables on one side & mostly occupied tables on the other. This is a area where you're basically sitting next to the people at the next table. When we were led to the area that was more crowded we told the hostess we preferred the other area. We like personal space when eating out & that's why we objected to that area. The service was ok. I just got the feeling our server focused more on larger parties & tables that ordered more. I understand they want to focus more on them because of a bigger tip, however, I also feel everyone should be treated the same.
