Comments
Do they post the menu anywhere? All I can find on their site is the announcement about the December (huh?) dinner. I'm sure it's a lovely time, but I'm too picky to just walk into a dinner and not know what I'm having. Yes, I'm too lazy to call.

Thank you Kat! Saved me a trip and some cash. Unfortunately, I don't eat any of the meats in the entree selection, so this dinner would be right out for me.

My wife and I stumbled on this dinner on a recommendation from our hotel. Very few guests, so it was easy to get a table. Our server indicated it was because most were employees. Unfortunately we both became ill after we ate which ruined our weekend.
