    Two members of our party have numerous food allergies. One can’t eat nightshades which are present in almost all their menu items. Our server was very helpful and the chef remade a chicken dish to accommodate the allergy. Our friend could not stop raving about the dish. Everything we ordered was spectacular. Another member of our party is allergic to chocolate and dairy, she usually is unable to partake in dessert. She was very excited to see banana sorbet with tamarind sauce on the menu, it was so yummy. We had a fabulous dining experience and will go back soon.

    Food & service was excellent as always. The restaurant was a little loud but not to the point where it was distracting. Parking is a pain and is the only downside

    Good food- just very busy so service not so great as had to ask for silverware and napkins and one food order that took too long and was not how ordered. But they offered free pie slices to make up for it.

    My husband and I had Christmas Day breakfast there as it was included as a special for staying the night at the Langham. Customer service was outstanding as everyone was attentive and courteous. The food was good and hit the spot for breakfast. I did wish there was more combination plates so that the items I wanted didn't need to be added. There was an all you can eat brunch option but I was afraid I couldn't eat that much and it wasn't worth the $59 for me. Very much a family atmosphere in the restaurant which was fine. The view of the hotel and pool was nice and the restaurant was beautiful as everything at the Langham was just amazing. We would definitely come back to have a nice meal.
