6pm reservation. Very, very loud club music. Had to yell to speak to the guests at our own table. Their music choice and volume ruined the beautiful ambiance of the restaurant.

The food staff and service not only met but exceeded our expectations. The menu was creative and extremely fairly priced. From the chefs sushi tasting to the rib steak beyond what a hotel restaurant typically offers. Jose, Ken, Mindy & Chris went above and beyond to ensure world class service during our short stay. Can not wait to return.
