FANTASTIC atmosphere. We had a great night of conversation and drinks all while listening to cool soft jazz in one room, a piano in another. I cannot describe how awesome the VTR was--we loved it and the evening flew by.

Our dining selections were fantastic as to be expected, however Julie made our meal memorable. On time with courses, delivered with a smile, and a fantastic sense of humor. She is truly professional. We enjoyed all of the associates worked with us, even the girls at reception. We look forward to returning… Thank you CRU!!
