My mom's birthday dinner, 14 in the Wine Cellar room. We arrived early and got two cheese platters which included preserves, apple slaw, cucumbers and three different cheeses. Everyone loved them! Family style dinner with two beautiful salads (beet with cheese, walnuts, etc., and arugula with prosciutto, fruit, etc.), then braised beef (like a pot roast with an incredible wine sauce) and roasted chicken (great texture and taste), plus mashed potatoes, pasta marinara, and root vegetables. While the beef had everyone talking, we all liked everything. Dessert... contract said "mini desserts," which translated into three types of cakes with tasting portions for everyone... what a great surprise!
