Great date dinner with hubby before a holiday play! The Main is gorgeous right now! 🎄Very lively and a bit noisy but to be expected in the bar area. We enjoy the energy. Food was yummy, drinks perfect. 🍸 Our waiter was very good and super friendly but stretched a bit thin… no problem because other staff members jumped in so everything arrived hot. Impressive teamwork! 👍

First time and our dinner exceeded our expectations! The Executive Chef came to our table to welcome us and assist us with our menu choice. The service was first class and the bonus was to view the incredible glass museum inside the Hotel, after dinner.
