                Meagan was a fantastic server and was extremely attentive to all of our needs. My wife enjoyed the lobster pasta dish and the focaccia was delicious. The rest of the family had the NY Strip and shared the dry aged Ribeye. Although they were both good, they didn't compare to similar cuts we have enjoyed at other restaurants. Ambience was nice and the staff was very friendly and courteous.

                The menu is great with many interesting things to try. Service a bit clunky, they can’t figure out whether they are doing fine dining or more casual which results in not doing either very well. Overly long wait at beginning, then presenting and discussion of menu but then explicitly told we couldn’t order for 15 minutes while a lengthy formal wine service ensued for one member of our party. And noise level made all of the above hard to hear! We all loved the food and am sure these issues will get ironed out. Others here have commented on portion size. Agree on this and since they will directly compete with old Village favorites like La Nonna and La Bottega they need to look at this.

                Seriously the worst service ever. Waited one hour for dinner. Server was no where to be found and hardly checked on us. Food was excellent, but expected more from a Four Seasons hotel. I let the manager know and not even an offer for a glass of wine or desert. Also loved the server’s recommendation for the pasta with lobster when someone in our party of five asked if there were any vegetarian options. 👎🏼

                We had an outstanding dinner. The food was an+A: lobster linguine and lamb ragu. The wine was exceptional: a great Pinot Grigio and Barolo. Our server was Denni and she was outstanding: knowledgeable and pleasant. This restaurant is a great addition to the valley.

                Fantastic food and ambience! Each course was unique and of great quality. Our waitress was great and courses were timed perfectly. Some kinks still need to be sorted out as rest of the staff from the wine pourer to the bussers need to work on their coordination and timeliness. Worth trying as its sister restaurant's reputation as a Michelin rated restaurant warrants it.

                The food was very good, but the portions were too small. My scallop appetizer had less than one whole scallop in it. My lobster linguine had less than one claw of lobster.
