Absolutely fantastic from start to finish! The food was great the experience was fantastic, and it just kept getting better and better all night! Even when we eventually were rained out from the roof top the hostess had already set a table up inside. It was so good. The never ending bottles of wine and if that wasn’t enough…a beautiful parting gift! Loved it and would do it again in a minute! The hosts were over the top great
