Let’s talk about my experience at [Restaurant Name]! The food? Delicious. The drinks? Even better! BUT, here’s where it fell short: we were celebrating our anniversary, and I made sure to mention it when we booked. Sadly, nothing special was done to acknowledge it. Meanwhile, I saw a few birthday celebrations where the staff went all out. So, it left me wondering—why ask about special occasions if you’re not going to celebrate them consistently? It’s the little things that make dining experiences memorable, and this one missed the mark for me. Just something to keep in mind if you’re planning a celebration here.

Food was fantastic! Service was impeccable! We had dinner in the chalet and although it was very cold outside, the chalet was very warm. Definitely will become one of my regular dining spots.

Russell, our waiter, was the nicest human but also had great recommendations. Filet is 10/10. Lamb chops, very good. Drinks were amazing. They turned down the music a little for our larger table to hear each other. Vibes were lovely and highly recommend this spot.
