    The food and ambiance were a one of a kind experience. Very rarely do I experience food that brings out an emotion of such joy and surprise and this place brought that without any hype or expectation. Our server was fun, friendly, and read the table perfectly with great timing and great knowledge of the food and place. This place is worth the trip from half way across the country. Well worth the price as well. The complementary valet parking was a lovely surprise for us as well. Spent around $100 to $150 for each person but had 2 to 3 cocktails each to go with each part of our meal. The menu apparently changes with the season. I cannot wait to return again!

    Our server, Gray, was extremely patient, friendly, and very attentive to our needs. I was with my mother and two 12-year olds. I appreciated his service. Everyone was happy with their food. I was extremely disappointed in the lack of dessert choices. There were 5 to 6 options listed on the menu and only 2 of those choices were available. I was looking forward to trying out the bread pudding. The entertainment had just begun. From what I heard, he was giving a good performance.

    We were celebrating a birthday dinner at AG and had a wonderful experience. Since this is a restaurant affiliated with a higher end hotel, we certainly had expectations that it would be a good experience. The food was excellent, but what truly makes the experience is the service. Our server, Vangel, was very friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. He was outstanding and we enjoyed the entire experience.
