   Food is always great here, however took 20 mins to be seated and not enough servers so wait for food and check at end of lunch was a long wait. We will come back since we love the food and it’s very Beautiful.

   Christmas decor was beautiful but the ballroom was completely filled with woman gathering around so we really couldn`t see the Christmas tree or staircase very well. We were brought to our table after about 20 minutes ( just standing in the crowded ballroom). After we were at the table it took about 45 minutes for the waitress to take our orders ( she did say she was sorry but a large party had just arrived). The food was delicious and arrived in a timely manner.

   The weather was beautiful & warm today & we enjoyed dining outside. The food was great & the servings are large enough to split. I had a glass of sangria which was delicious. The service is great & we had a lovely day. We also took a stroll through the grounds which are lovely!

   Sitting on the veranda on a beautiful SO CAL day! Service was friendly, prompt, and courteous! I love the fruit and vegetable plate as a courtesy starter. My french toast with potatoes was delicious!

   Beautiful view. Service needs a lot of work. Salad came out after entrée, no refills on water or coffee and some sides were forgotten and brought out after meal was done.

    The food this time around was good but not the best we have had it on previous occasions. I feel like I’ve had better omelettes for the price of $17. The strawberry pancakes were the best dish we had. French toast was good but the mascarpone cheese was a bit rich for my daughter. The service was very slow. Our waitress didn’t come out once to see how our food was or if we needed anything. The only time I saw her was to ask for boxes for food leftovers and a check. She took forever to even get the boxes and check. We waited about 10-15 min between each. I was sadly disappointed this time around, but will give it another shot. You can’t beat the views, definitely recommend a walk around the pond and into their lovely garden which has a pretty path with waterfalls and flowers, and plants.
