"We had a dinner reservation at 8:30 in the garden. The staff was amazing as soon as we got there. The restaurant is incredibly beautiful. Our waiter, Paublo, was a charming young man who was very knowledgeable about The Vanderbilt. The food was tasty and the garden setting was lovely. The only downside was that there was a nearby table with two small dogs that barked throughout dinner. Personally, I feel that dogs should not be allowed at upscale dining establishments."
