Great food, excellent service. We loved the explanation of the courses as they came to the table as well as the drinks that got explained. My vegetarian friend really appreciated the options they had for her! Overall, a great venue for a work gathering. Which is what we were there for. We had the 5 course menu option and it was a 2.5 hour event. It was the perfect timing for me and my team. Would recommend, and will return in the future.

The food and experience in the chalet was great. Felt like the chalet was extremely hot, we asked to turn it down but they initially said they couldn’t because multiple chalets are controlled by one setting. Then we asked again, and was told many people are complaining about it so they will turn it down but it still didn’t make any difference. So we cracked opened the door, which made it cold. So that part was just unpleasant with being hot and cold. Plus the tables and benches are metal so that didn’t help with how hot everything was. Food was great and drinks were strong!
