- Use Gusto strategically: it's perfect for breakfast, arrival day dinners, and pre-excursion mornings when you want convenience.
- Match dinner to your evening plans: if you want a romantic slow night, choose Le Petit Plaisir or Tinto. If you want something lighter before nightlife, choose Shoji.
- Book specialty restaurants early: reservations are recommended for Brass, Duke's, and Le Petit Plaisir—especially during peak season.
- Go earlier for smoother service: earlier dinner times (6–7pm) tend to feel more relaxed and give you flexibility for evening activities.
Planning rule that works:
If you're staying 3–4 nights, pick 2–3 specialty dinners and use Gusto for convenience. If you're staying 5–7 nights, rotate through all specialties and repeat your favorite.
