The mansion does not fail! It was beautiful like always! Great food and the staff (servers) were very very sweet. Especially our one server. The girls at the front can look a bit unfriendly, to the point that makes you a bit unwelcome but overall it was a beautiful Christmas Day at the Versace mansion. Maybe a little renovation on the chairs would be good too. It is price friendly (kinda) so in my opinion, the furniture should reflect the “luxury” look. At least a good cleanup. The food was really good, we had the spaghetti with lobster.. the burrata was amazing.. drinks pretty good.. no complaints at all! Thank you for making our Christmas 2025 beautiful all the way from Canada!
