Wonderful meal as always. Tonight we did the prix fix for the Christmas Candlelight tour. Worth every penny and they even packaged our leftovers and kept them for us until we finished the tour. Always the best service and so fun to eat in the stables!

If you are looking for extraordinary experience for dining, this is it !! Beyond professional greeting, hosting to table, intro by waiter. Waiter was beyond expectations, with recommendations on wine pairing, sauces on selections, and general menu options. Had charred octopus to start, Elk loin with suggested sauce and seared scallops as addition. Saulteed mushrooms, creamy mashed potatoes as side. Would order again and again !! Strawberry Bruelee for desert !! Do not want to spoil visit!!! Wait until you are handed the menu !!!! Trust Me !!
