Wonderful service, food and ambience

I had to host a large group twice, and Janelle, the events manager, was extremely accommodating, flexible, gave advice on my choices, and met my budget. Both groups loved the food, and even wrote to me about it after the conference was over--- asked to have the dinner there again.
