★★★★Patty BlackThis place is awesome. Beautiful. The food was surprisingly good for the quantity of people they fed multiple times a day. The staff was just wonderful. Super kind and helpful. The woman that runs the kitchen is a rock star. So is her kitchen staff. Just a wonderful experience even if the weather didn't cooperate.
