    We had an outstanding time at dinner last night. We were greeted by two fantastic hostesses who made us feel welcome almost like we were old friends that they had been looking forward to seeing. On our way to our seat, we turned the corner to see the most beautiful and plentiful salad bar. Throughout the evening I noticed that it was constantly tended to by the staff to keep all of the options fresh and full. We loved our server, Miley. She and the gentleman (didn't get his name) that was working with her were very attentive. As we plowed through the huge variety of food options they made sure to replace our plates with clean plates, they made sure that when we returned from the salad bar our place setting was refreshed with our napkins neatly folded and we were never in need of water or side dishes. They engaged with us when invited and remained appropriately invisible when we were dining. Overall great experience for us. It was worth the snowy drive to get there. We look forward to returning with family and friends.
