Culinary Delight

“During my stay, I had the pleasure of dining at The Schoolhouse restaurant for a corporate dinner. The food was not only beautifully presented but also tasted fantastic. Our group of 30 was served promptly, often a challenge in larger gatherings, but the kitchen handled it with ease. The atmosphere made for a perfect setting for our evening.” view full review
