Best Thanksgiving ever. Perfect weather and my adult son and I sat on the terrace. I'm not usually a fan of corporate hotels or restaurants but the buffet was remarkable, the view breathtaking and we were not hurried. We asked about hiking trails and were given a map and pointed in the right direction. We took a lovely 3 mile hike along redwood trails afterwards. It's the irst time I haven't cooked a Thanksgiving meal in 35 years!

Our party of 4 came to Venus right when they opened at 5:00 pm. Although the receptionist did not greet any of the waiting customers, the remainder of our experience was excellent. The food and service were both wonderful. We tried two different gin and tonics. Great botanicals! This is a little gem.
