    We were expecting better food for $170/person. It wasn't bad, it was just average tasting. Beautiful presentation in an absolutely stunning property, but just disappointing for the cost. The servers were very nice and professional.

    Food was very good. Though the service of the waiter was the real reason for this review. This is a very spendy place to eat. Bill was over $800 for just my wife and myself and we didn't eat that much food. Service by the waiter was phenomenal. Very knowledgeable and very attentive to our needs and requests. That really made the evening special. The food was very good, though not really worth the cost. Really was the waiter.
