We are here thrice for dinner while staying at this hotel.
The service has been increasingly superb, the more we see of the staff the more impressed we are by their professionalism and knowledge of the menu, the area, and the wines they serve. We are also grateful for their endless patience dealing with my pathetic attempts at the French language (two years of high school level French, it embarrasses my husband routinely) and their own knowledge of English is so superb that the subtleties of wine region and varietal discussions are easily communicated.
The food is created from local sources, and the delights of the gardens on the hotel grounds. Each amuse bouche has featured flowers and herbs grown on site, and each appetizer has been even better than the last we tried. A true highlight has been the VEGETABLE ELEMENT (I know, I'm a tried and true carni-phile, but dude, DUDE the veg!) of each dish. Our roasted vegetable appetizer we enjoyed this evening featured a stuffed squash blossom, caramelized tomatoes, and stuffed onion with olive tapenade, all rich and flavorful and fresh and delicious. This chef has even created asparagus that I not only eat, but ENJOY, and that is a true accomplishment.
Eat here. It's pricey, yes, but the food and experience are worth it.
