We had such a lovely experience. Our waiter Yash was brilliant. The atmosphere was beautiful they had live sting music playing Christmas carols. The food was all delicious. The standout was the turkey sandwich and little snowman chocolate on the sweets. Highly recommend with a few friends

Restaurant staff had no idea how to record my BonVoy membership number in their system when paying for the meal so I have not been credited with those points that were critical to avoid expiration of my current points total on 8 Jan 2025. This was the sole reason for dining there. Very disappointing.
