Wonderful food and service for Christmas dinner. A bit disappointed the server didn’t mention gratuity would be included for a table of three. Luckily, we caught it in time before double tipping. Other than that, it was a great experience.

We booked the Christmas brunch but not totally clear what this entailed. Main course we chose but then there were 3 "stations" which consisted of a few desserts, 2 cheese options, nuts, dried fruits, bit of seafood. Main course choices were basically standard breakfast options. Overall I felt a but rushed as we booked for 1PM and they seemed anxious for us to not linger past 2:45....wasn't much left at the "stations" Overall I expected a more festive spread for the 120.00 US per person bill we received!

We had a 1:30p reservation for a party of 8ppl for a birthday, and they didn’t tell us until we got there that the restaurant closed at 2p. The server was very understanding and kind, but definitely was a big miss. They actually turned the lights off while we were still sitting there.
