My husband and I dined here for a date night dinner on a Friday evening. Although we had a reservation for 8pm, we waited about 20 min for our table. There were a few other couples waiting as well, so I guess they were just behind that evening. We were given champagne while we waited with sincere apologies for the wait. I knocked off a star for atmosphere because for such an elegant and romantic venue, it was very bright. Could use a little more mood lighting. The service once we were seated made up for the wait for our table.
Once we were seated, we were greeted by our waitress, Lauren, that asked if we had any allergies (she noted they have a very allergy/gluten friendly kitchen) before walking us through the seasonal five course Chef Tasting menu we selected. She was amazing! Attentive, personable, and excited about the food and its descriptions, which made us equally as excited to eat it. Everything was as delicious as she described. And she recommended some options for our return trip.
I opted to add the wine pairing to my tasting menu, while my husband opted for their classic old fashioned. The old fashioned was delicious. Kayla, my assistant sommelier, was amazing as well. She is extremely passionate about what she does, and her vivid descriptions of the wines and their history took you to where it was made. It was hard not down just down the wine from excitement while she was describing it. I instead paced myself to enjoy it with the paired course.
Maria kept our table cleared and reset for each course. She was very professional and kind, which added to our overall experience.
We were running short on time, so we did not get to walk the grounds to enjoy the Koi pond and gardens, but we will definitely be back.
