What an outstanding dinner!

The food was excellent, the view from our table remarkable, the service impeccable. But the wine service stood out above all. Ashish, the sommelier, set a high bar for wine service, rivaling the chateaux of Bordeaux and the castellos of Tuscany. Our utmost thanks to Ashish and the staff for an unforgettable evening commemorating our honeymoon!
