    When we made Christmas dinner reservations there was no mention of it being buffet only. Ruined our Christmas dinner plans. It looked like a brunch menu. Sorry. Truth in advertising would have helped.

    Having dined at Ciclo on several occasions, the food tonight was not worthy of a 4 seasons dining experience. Seating was quick and n accommodating. We had invited another couple And raved about the food that was to come. The time between the appetizer and the main was one hour and 20 minutes. I did recognize that they were quite busy. Secondly when the entrees did arrive , they were COLD. And next issue was my wife’s and our friends wine order of a wine by bthe glass . and she compared it with the iconic 2 buck chuck . That p should never had made it on the menu . When dining at a relatively expensive restaurant , one also mi my might expect a fine meal. This 300.00 meal was a waste

    The Ambience and Food were good. The Lamb portion was small especially considering the $75 price.
