Been a few times over the years. The place is beginning to look dated and the food has slipped quite a bit. The dining experience is incredibly unimpressive we were given a summer menu in January. I had asked if this was correct and it was… for a “culinary” retreat priced the way it is this is alone is ridiculous. I’m betting Sysco is their primary supplier as the menus are ubiquitous and bland. There are however excellent restaurants in the area that I’d recommend checking out instead.
