Delicious plentiful food, all staff friendly
The food was excellent--well prepared, surprisingly large quantities and a good selection of options. Unfortunately, the main dining room was quite cool in the evening which meant that I did not enjoy the meal as much as I could have. I noted that the overhead fans were going full force and there was no fire in the fireplace while the outside temperatures were dropping into the 50's and 40's rapidly. Staff in the dining hall and check in were friendly and efficient--a real plus.
