Food and drink items are delivered to the entrance of the space, and guests will retrieve their items for delivery to their table. Our servers will not enter the dining space while guests occupy the space.   Menu selections are from our Mahogany Grille steak and seafood menu.   This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Once restaurants are able to re-open to in-room dining, we will discontinue the program.   The Suite Dining is available Thursday – Sunday, 5PM – 9PM.
