We made the decision to go on a peak Holiday Lights evening which took everything down a notch or two. I recommend it but at a time when it’s not overrun with tourists, children and a weary waitstaff as a result.

The food is gourmet and phenomenal, prices are fair and worth it. The duck confit was great! The ambience was great, and I just wish we could just go to the restaurant without the need to have garden tickets, but oh well! Amazing restaurant!

Tries to be high end but the food isn’t quite up to it taste wise. We had two separate reservations and asked if we could be seated together. There were quite a few empty tables but no effort was made to seat us together. The host was actually very rude, first telling me that we couldn’t be seated together in about as a disgusting way as he could. I understand that it’s very busy and we couldn’t be accommodated. But politely telling me you can’t do it is fine instead of being a jerk. Meanwhile the whole time we dined the table next to us was empty. So I guess his point was made. Won’t be back.
