All I can say is WOW. I had the pleasure of dining in your lovely restaurant this evening. I have had some delicious meals in my lifetime, but few could compare with my meal this evening. I started with the delicious crab cakes, then had the stuffed chicken breast and topped the meal off with the maple crème brule. Every single bite of my meal was AMAZING, the presentation was beautiful and the service from the very pleasant Joanne made for a wonderful dining experience. The guests of the Sheraton are fortunate to have such fine dining available to them. Thank you
