    Food is first-rate and ambience is magical. However, it was freezing cold in the main dining room and rather noisy making it difficult to hear normal conversation at the table. Tables are rather crowded together-just not that comfortable sitting for a leisurely meal. They can do better and should.

    Though we had a 10am reservation, we were asked to wait 15 minutes to be seated, even though all the tables were open, as the slowly sat everyone huddled in the entrance.

    It’s definitely worth going at least once if you’re in the area. Especially if you have kids- they loved the experience and obviously the cake.
