We just went for dinner. It's an amazing place. Incredible food, service, and views of the mountains. The chef is fabulous. It's definitely a destination event.

We went for dinner but did not stay overnight. Based on our fantastic experience with diner and the service, we highly recommend a visit or stay. Folks we met there were very positive about their stay. We plan to go back!
