    Prix fixe menu was average but the actual food was horrible. Stale, old, cold and almost unhealthy to eat. I’d get more fresh food from the carts outside. The wine tasted old and gross and I didn’t get a taste first, the server just poured it. I feel like they brought out the old stuff from the back. Not worth the $160 at all. Will def not recommend or come back.

    We had dining yesterday. The food was terrible and pricy. We left the restaurant hungry. I don’t recommend anybody to try their food.

    A special birthday treat and it did not disappoint. Beautiful setting, very attentive and friendly servers. The food was beautifully presented and tasted delicious. We were given boxes to put any uneaten pastries in and a lovely presentation bag to carry them in. I also received a birthday cake complete with candle - such a lovely touch

    Beautiful hotel but way overpriced for what you get. Finger Food was great but should have more selections for what you pay. Our waitress lacked enthusiasm and didn’t help make the experience more special or memorable. It was my mother’s 80 bday, brought me a cute cake with candle but was so abrupt that I didn’t have time to pull out my camera. Expected a better experience for $300 plus! Was nice to see the plaza inside though!!

    The food was exceptionally subpar. My vegetarian wife was offered a pre fixe meal including salmon. There was nothing I would ask for again. It was extremely forgettable, and I was shocked the food was so bad for such an iconic, established venue. The portion size is a joke. $95 for finger food. We had to go get food after leaving. There was a $50 children’s pre fixe that included “cheese pizza slice” that was the very literal equivalent of a bagel bite. Our service was horrendous. We had 6 ounce water glasses and ran out of water so many times. We had to refill our own glasses with bottled water we carried in. The only positive from the service was being able to get a $24 ice cream sundae that wasn’t supposed to be on the menu, because we wanted to recreate the Home Alone experience for our child. Positive: the atmosphere was nice as well as the old fashioned.
