    Where to begin, this was a special dinner and I really wanted everything to go perfect. Having chosen the garden igloo I was a little apprehensive how things would go. Upon arrival we were escorted to the garden and found the table and setting in the special igloo along with some lightly falling snow to be enchanting. It was like eating in a giant snow globe. The service was exceptional. Adrien was the best host and we were even introduced to the chef when we left. The food was amazing, every course was just perfect in preparation, taste and presentation. We had a magical dinning experience in the garden and will most definitely return. Ray P.
