    Kudos to all the staff who have gone out of their way to be pleasant And helpful. Everyone was amazing. Shirley in the dinning room was one of the finest servers we have ever had the pleasure of meeting. The food in the restaurant was outstanding and the head chef and assistant gave every attention to detail and flavor. Standing ovation to all of them! The lamb was outstanding and the squash and beat root salad were some of the best I’ve ever had. Well done! I liked everything.
