                                    The holiday prix fixe 3-course meal was quite good by taste, but over-priced. Service seemed slow, even early on when most tables occupied, but quite noticeably later in the meal when place more than half empty. Very nice staff and management. Ambience certainly nice, albeit a bit noisy, yet to be expected when early on the place was nearly full.

                                    The best experience in years. The entire hotel staff were smiles and welcoming. Our wait person Michael was a delight. We laughed together over the menu misspellings to our shared college restaurant work experience. Foodies talk about food and take pictures. Our ideal is being relaxed, good company that includes staff, and great food.
