29 years ago, we celebrated high tea with our four little boys in your hotel. So feeling a little nostalgic, I made reservations for brunch with my family. When we got there I was surprised that there was no one else in the restaurant. I had expecting it to be bustling through the Christmas holiday. Once we got used to the quiet we had an excellent meal and excellent service. We took our desserts out into the living room and enjoyed a nice long leisurely brunch. A minor disappointment for me was that the bistro was not decorated for the holiday at all . The living room more than made up for it.
