Arrived for a 8pm desert and was told the restaurant was fully booked. After leaving, checked opentable and followed up with a call - I was told they actually had openings. When prompted for why they had turned me away earlier, I was told they only had tables for people who wanted dinner. Keep in mind - there were many open tables and I suspect their restaurant was half empty due to their new management style. Not sure of the intent here - why not serve desert with an open table as it may inspire you to bring a larger group for an expensive dinner at a later date...
Although this is an amazing location with so much beauty and history, I'll direct my higher income towards investigating new dining locations and avoid tarnishing older memories of their past quality service and class. I would not recommend eating here if you desire warm and friendly service.
