Hello, our friends. Have been there many times, but not for thanksgiving, the day my father died. Over the years we have been to Ritz Carlton, George’s at the Cove, etc. Oh, and Inn at Rancho Santa fe. So, of late, we have traveled locally here to Paon. It is lovely, but getting too expensive. Recently at UTC, and thought Seasons might be a good choice. We even have two friends who felt they could afford to join in. All of had no children, so we enjoy having a “strays” holiday for us “only children”. Thank you as my husband called it a ‘magical night’ with frienda!

We had delicious food, a lovely attentive waiter, the interior is beautiful, the only thing we found annoying was the elevator type music that kind of drove us crazy, but we still plan to go back!
