“Loved it. Was planning on a bar burger but the special was fried chicken. My buddy had the regular fried chicken and I had gizzards and mashed taters and gravy. OMG absolutely delicious. Compliments to the server for talking us into the special instead of burgers.“

“There probably was less than one chicken strip or half a chicken patty cut up for my pony shoe. I could have cooked a chicken patty myself. Zero flavor. Honestly use to love their food but the last couple trips have been disappointing.“

“My husband and I attended the Winter Solstice December 14th coming in from Springfield. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience! The building is so beautiful. The event was very well run. We loved all of the heavy hors d'oeuvures and desserts (my husband kept going back for the cream puffs) and walking around exploring the building. We are a middle-aged couple and especially appreciated the fact that the music on the dancefloor was not blaringly obnoxiously loud. People had such a good time and were dressed in such fancy attire. We are so glad to have found this wonderful spot and will definitely be coming back up here for future events.“
