    We went for Christmas dinner, the hotel is beautiful, the ambient is great but I was not very impressed by the Christmas dinner, it was too pricey for the quality and quantity of the food.

    The waiter was very enthusiastic and the food was amazing per usual. We were disappointed that our table was not ready when we arrived when I think I made the reservation weeks ago. I did have a dog, but they didn’t seem to mind. There were plenty of tables outside and we ended up in the corner. A couple after us got a better table right in front of ours.

    Everything was wonderful and I especially liked the half portion option on many dishes. The only “complaint I have is I wish there was a little more diversity and choice for the seafood.
