This was about the most beautiful restaurant I've ever been to. The views are spectacular. The service is exceptional. It is pricy, but the ambiance was so nice I didn't think about it. It will be our special occasion place for dinner.

Food and service were amazing. Always love a sushi restaurant with fresh wasabi. Only suggestion - list it $$$ instead of $$. Spent over $200 on dinner for two and two glasses of wine. Worth it!

The igloo experience was wonderful! The igloo was so nicely decorated. The record player with Christmas music was a really nice touch! Food was excellent, way more than we could eat. The hot chocolate and s'mores were the best I'd ever had!
