    Fantastic dinner! Service was great. Ambiance was lovely. We started with a Halibut and shrimp ceviche. Then split a salad that had apples, cheese, pepitas, and fresh greens. I had the scallops which were cooked perfectly, and I'm pretty picky! My husband enjoyed his Halibut dinner. We were too full to have dessert unfortunately. Would definitely recommend this place for a special occasion.

    Seven of us had dinner before going to the Trancendence Theater Company show at the Sebastiani Theater. The service, ambiance, and buzz in the restaurant was outstanding. Wide range of menu items to suit everyone's taste, and a great wine list too. Service was friendly, professional, and attentive. Everyone agreed the pastas were excellent, as well as the lamb. Always a great experience - highly recommended for great food combined with a great atmosphere!

    Four friends gathered for a holiday celebration and annual reunion - Bistro Don Giovanni was the perfect place. We all dine here individually but this was the first time all together. Our waiter was wonderful as expected and very friendly. The house Don Giovanni red wine perfect. We shared a holiday appetizer and each had a different entree. We will all be back and maybe even together!

    This was a cozy and romantic outdoor dining experience. We went on a Tuesday night which made for a quiet, seemingly private experience. There were some guests who curiously looked and one couple stopped to ask about the food. The ski chalets are decorated super cute and can fit many people at the one table. It was adorned with furry blankets both to sit on and to throw over you along with cushy pillows. There was also a tall standing heater and a fire pit so it’s definitely warm enough. Our servers were very attentive and both food and drinks came out in a timely manner. The holidays cocktails were well balanced. We also chose the cheese fondue which came loaded with a plate of vegetables to dip. My favorite was the broccoli and potato. We also splurged and got the chocolate fondue for dessert. Again, very flavorful but less fruit than the vegetable plate. Both were priced at $35 each. Drinks were in the $20-$27 range which is steep but normal for a Fairmont. The grounds are lit up for Christmas with music playing as well. It was a very pleasurable Happy Hour experience and we’d definitely go back for this or the dinner experience. One thing to know is to check the restaurant days/hours in advance. You’ll need to know to check in at the bar if you go on a day the restaurant is closed.
