    We attended for the New Year's Eve eve dinner, set at a flat rate of $100/ person, not including beverages. Wait staff attire could be improved upon, especially at high end functions. Quality of service was mediocre, however, our server was very pleasant, friendly and polite. Training in fine dining service is most likely the issue. The quality of the food was exemplary, but still a bit over priced for the entire experience. Doubtful we'd return for the event but would recommend the restaurant for the quality of food and prep.

    It was a last-minute decision to attend the restaurant for the New Year's Eve dinner. One of our guests was vegan and the restaurant had a set New Year's menu, which unfortunately did not offer vegan options. However, the wonderful kitchen staff and wait staff coordinated a beautiful vegan meal last minute for our guest. We had such a lovely time and so enjoyed the live jazz music. We would definitely go back.

    I found the reservation site was a bit tiresome. On site we were greeted warmly and quickly seated. Staff were very attentive but not overly dominant. Food selection was excellent nicely prepared and and presented. Definitely a place I would return to for other special occasions 👍

    We drove up from Minnesota for the Christmas buffet. It wasn't clear to me that reservations were for large groups at a certain time, so we were a bit confused (as were the folks at the table next to us) about the process. However, once we confirmed with our server how it was supposed to work we got in line for the wonderful buffet. Both the food and the service were excellent, and we will be back next year.

    Beautiful table overlooking the water , but buffet brunch was a weird mixture of foods - not typical for a North American brunch. Didn’t get the value for 45.00 per plate
