I was thrilled to be one of the people at this outstanding dinner! As usual, everything Michael prepared not only looked beautiful, but each dish was a truly delicious experience for us "foodies"! It was a magical evening, and truly something I will always remember.
The magic of this evening is only rivaled by New Year's Eve dinner at the Hartstone...definitely a NOT TO BE MISSED event!
