I can’t say enough about Base Camp. The food is authentic and full of flavor. The staff are kind and welcoming. My love for the comfort of Nepalese cuisine has been completely fulfilled by this place. The ribs, mo mo’s, and street style lo mein did not disappoint. Can’t wait to go back and try their curried dishes! It’s a popular spot, so reserve in advance and tip generously ~*

I've been staying at the Fairmont for the past 20+ years at this time of year and I always make an evening of the Tonga Room. Nothing like it in the world (that I know of) with tiki interior, a rain storm every so often with thunder and lightning, fab service from Bash my waiter, delicious food and super entertainment from the band, The Island Groove. What a great evening!!

Food was excellent. Service could have been faster but I don’t really have complaints since we were taking our time. It’s a bit pricey, but that’s to be expected.
