The food has taken a bit of a decline from what we have experienced over the past 20 years. The service was very good, but now that it is part of the Auberge Collection, we noticed a slight decline from when it was part of the Relais et Chateaux Collection. Dinner for 4 adults came to $1,250 (including tip) with only one cocktail or glass of wine per person.
