Dine is one of our historically significant rooms. We can accommodate parties of 4-10 people.   This is takeout with style, as our guests begin their journey in our Diamond Belle where they will get their temperature checked, place and pay for their order and then be escorted to a private dining space.   Guests will be given a direct line to our food and beverage team in case they need anything during their visit. 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. Reservations are required by calling 970.247.4431.
