Guests consistently enjoy the restaurant food and spacious atmosphere; many return for weekend stays. Extended visits reveal inconsistencies: staff attention wanes after a few days, and dining rules (preventing food in rooms or other spaces) have caught guests by surprise and led to food being discarded rather than given to guests.
