Lovely pre-holiday luncheon. Lots of choices on the luncheon and dinner menus. Excellent service. Good wine list, plenty of cocktails/special drinks if wine is not your thing. The "Presto" lunch is an excellent value: starter, main, dessert. Portions appropriate size for lunches.

The food and service were phenomenal! The atmosphere depends on what you like and where they seat you. We were by the waterfall, which is pretty, but also right where everyone was walking by so it’s not very private or quiet. Not bad at all, just depends what you like. Can’t recommend the food enough. Despite being very busy they were timely and extremely tasty with everything cooked perfectly.
