Chef de Cuisine Tom Vyjulil influenced meals came to life, starting with our champagne toast. Our first course and wines paired well to accompany each. In a moment, we will share our customized menu, but before, you need to know we dined at our own pace. We could ring for our butler if we wanted to speed up the pace or relax and take more time to slow things down. Toasting each course, let us celebrate a different aspect of the experience. We enjoyed playing with the iPad and finding constellations in the sky around Camelback Mountain between each course. Chef de Cuisine, Tom Vykulil, also came out and introduced himself, before, during and after the meal. Everyone wanted to be sure we were satisfied.
