This was a near perfect dining experience. Excellent service nicely paced, beautiful presentations of the food, and a beautiful venue. The building is new, and someone actually considered acoustics in the design--the restaurant was full, but you could actually converse in a normal manner. Anyhow, the food. For the holiday season, the menu is fixed price, with either a three or a four course dinner. A wine pairing is available as well, but we stuck with our cocktails (they get a Yum) and wine by the glass. It's hard to describe the food--like my Bay Scallops appy, with sunchoke, rangoon, and ponzu demi-glaze, there were three distinct flavor bombs in the presentation. The poached pear was a fave around the table as well. Our diners had halibut, venison, and chicken dishes. I sample

This restaurant is lovely, and I have to rave about Meghan and the Valentine's weekend dinner. Oh my gosh. We've had the lounge food before and it's always been great, but this really was a step up. Everything was perfectly made, our drinks were fantastic, and our waitress! She was top-notch. Very thorough about my gluten allergy, always there refilling our drinks, super personable, and even took pictures for us to commemorate the occasion. It really made for a great two year together-anniversary. I wish I was a Bridgerton and could be here every weekend! This was a treat and we're already planning to be here for year three.

The atmosphere was bright and beautiful. Our server had to have been watching us like a hawk because as soon as our utensils went down she was next to the table asking how everything was. She was very attentive without hovering and the food was delicious. The broccoli raab was definitely too salty for me, but everything else was so magnificent that I literally do not care. It was the perfect place for an anniversary lunch for my boyfriend and I.

I will start out with how impressed me and my wife were. When we were checking our coats and the young professional lady just struck up a wonderful conversation. The fine and intricate touches that your culinary team show cases is flawless. Ben our server is just perfect and we will be back to ask for him. The kitchen tour was a pleasant surprise. Outstanding wine list and atmosphere. The best part of the meal was how the extremely educated chef turned a 4oz tin of caviar look like it was just opened for the first time at the table with the wonderful idea of placing crème fraiche under the osetra. Just brilliant and I wish I went back to bar to order another. I wish the entire team a wonderful voyage to becoming a Michelin rated restaurant. Thank you so much for the most impressive lun

Such a magical place! An incredible amount of work by so many talented people. I love the idea of placing Christmas trees on the ponds, and all those sweet floral scents in the orangery. It felt like a trip to some summer island in the middle of winter. My route started in the outdoor gardens, then I had a meal at a lovely café. After that, I walked through the fountain area and entered the conservatories from the West Conservatory entrance. I spent four hours there in total, and ended up listening to beautiful live organ music!! Loved it!! Thank you to the entire Gardens team 💚💚💚
