Great location and very cozy and nice ambience. The service was good and very solid bread/garlic confit included. Had the duck and was good but maybe not quite as great for the price being paid. Definitely spending a little extra for the ski resort location

We had a delightful time. Took the 5:45 pm tram which was perfect to watch the sunset. A bonus since we were there for the full moon. The staff was energetic, up beat about the evening. There was even music which added to the already beautiful evening. Food was fabulous including wonderful dessert. The full moon was amazing. A night to remember. Highly recommend catching the next full moon event in March. Cheers.
