    We loved spending NYE here last year . food was amazing so we booked again for last night . This year it was a little disappointing. Service was still great and I love the feel of this restaurant but the food wasn’t great . The salad appetizer was really good but the cheese plate was not as good as last year and the “Caviar app was just orange Roe not actually caviar” . The dinner selection “ steak and Lobster” was actually steak and lobster Raviloli . The lobster Ravioli was delicious but the steak, although it being a huge portion , was tough and kinda flavorless. The Italian dessert pound cake was very good. We had a really nice time and the service was really good loved our server. I think her name was Anna . May rethink next year though .

    The NYE menu was outstanding, but I can also say that I have never had anything less than a five star meal here. Its our "go to" restaurant for company, special occasions and just when we want a really fantastic meal.

    The bar tender Nico began our amazing evening with his cocktail magic. The Jewels was knowledgeable and super friendly. Her service was perfect. We kept ordering awaesome dishes just to be able to stay longer. Lovely evening. We were so caught up in the ambiance we forgot to get our picture made in front of the Xmas tree. We’ll be back for certain.

    We were ushered to the upper level where another table was on dessert. Once they left, we are the only ones up there which felt rather isolated from the other diners on the main level. We also felt badly that the servers had to run up and down the stairs just for us. It was also a slow start which further added to the feeling of being separated. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. The holiday decor throughout the hotel is beautiful!

    Thank you for sharing your experience with us. I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed our delicious food and beautifully presented dishes, as well as the holiday decor throughout the hotel. I understand that dining on the upper level, especially when it's less occupied, can feel a bit isolated. We strive to create a comfortable and engaging atmosphere for all our guests, and we are sorry your experience was lacking the warm ambiance of other diners around you. We appreciate your feedback and look forward to welcoming you back soon.

    Service was fantastic! Ambiance was lovely! However… We looked at the menu before arriving so we’d kind of know what we wanted. We weren’t surprised by the prices, but they were pretty high. So we expected it to be fantastic, for the price especially. We bought 3 cocktails, which were delicious. We had the ricotta dip as an appetizer. It was good, and the accompanying bread was even better. The dip was on the salty side. For our main courses, we had the chicken al forno and ravioli with chicken and mushrooms. Both dishes were very salty. I couldn’t even eat my ravioli because it was SO salty, but I took it home. I just can’t send food back because I hate waste. I’m going to try to mix it with more pasta and chicken to counteract the salt. I mean, the flavors were great, they were just heavy handed with the salt.

    Thank you for your kind words about our service and ambiance. We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the cocktails and the ricotta dip. We understand that the saltiness of the main courses didn't meet your expectations, and we sincerely apologize for that. We take such feedback seriously and will review our recipes to ensure a balanced flavor profile. We appreciate your understanding and hope to welcome you back soon for a more enjoyable dining experience.
