“Where do we even begin?? Gloria, her family and the entire Lavender Crest team that run this facility are just amazing! We held our wedding and reception here a couple of weeks ago and there are no words to express how happy and grateful we are for this! From the very beginning, Gloria and Lavender Crest were super friendly, flexible, timely, informative, patient, and so easy to work with! They were willing to meet with us anytime we had questions or let us stop in anytime we needed to if we needed measurements or to check out anything. Very responsive when we would email questions or information for the wedding over. The venue itself is so gorgeous with the grape vines and the gazebo and the flower berm! We didn’t even have to leave the venue to go take pictures. We did our ceremony out by the flower berm and the arch and the pictures that are coming back with all the flowers in bloom are stunning! The cocktail hour and reception were inside and just as nice! They have a cute cafe/bar area that guests could meander through and then the reception hall was right next to it and just so pretty! They pretty much let you decorate it with anything and everything you want to. If there was anything we weren’t sure on they were willing to help with suggestions! The food was exceptional! We did the buffet style and we had so many people tell us how good the food was. If you can swing it we highly recommend the prime rib carving station! That was probably one of the best prime ribs I’ve had in a long time. I need someone I know to have a wedding there so I can have that prime rib again haha! And also, a surprise wildcard…the seafood lasagna rollups! They had this at the food tasting and we never would have given it a glance if it hadn’t been there. It was so incredibly good! They also have different options for the bar. We just decided to do all items open bar and it was very reasonably priced! And so worth it…the wine is fantastic! I heard a couple people say they were going to pick up a couple bottles from the gift shop. But overall the pricing for everything is very reasonable! That being said I am sure there is something we left out but thank you Lavender Crest and Gloria so much for truly making this one of the happiest days of our lives and we can’t wait to get back there for our anniversary or even just a weekend lunch and wine tasting!”

“Great pizza!!! Monday taco nights are also amazing! Great staff and great prices!”

“First time eating at this subway. Gave food a 3 star only because there was barely any meat or veggies on the two footlongs we ordered. More bread than anything. Had coupons for buying 2 at $12.99 but was told we couldn't use on the chicken sandwiches we ordered. Was a bit surprised by that as all other subways always allow us to use our coupons on the chicken, just not on specialty sandwiches. Other than this, everything else was fine. I now wish I had taken a picture to show that the sandwiches were more bread than anything else.Had they been like other sandwiches made at other subways, we visit. I would have given a 5 star all the way around and been able to use my coupon.”

“Grabbed three dinners, crab ragoon, spring rolls/ egg roll at this place while driving through. Food was hot and fresh - some spicy plates weren't that spicy. But overall decent food for a smaller place.”

“Food was amazing. Great & friendly staff. We were in and out in about 30-40 minutes and they were super busy but we got a table right away. Prices are great for the servings you get. Will definitely be coming back now that I know their family friendly (first time at this place so wasn't sure what to expect)”

“Open jam Wednesday nights. It's a fun place to unwind or wind up. Whether you're just stopping in for a drink or night cap, or to let loose and socialize this place is highly recommended by me and plenty of my friends/acquaintances. Stop by any day or night of the week to check out the bar, video gaming machines (maybe you will get lucky), and enjoy the patio. Patio has plenty of seating and standing room, and some fire pits to warm up next to if you get chilly. The patio fire pits also provide a little more ambiance to the outdoor vibe... If you show up on a Wednesday night you will be guaranteed (by yours truly) to see and hear a decent live performance by some local up and coming artists, and some locals who just love playing live music in front of a great audience. Stop by and show your support”

“I love this restaurant so much. I love the rotating menu with new seasonal dishes and fan favorites. I love the location in a historic home. I love the owner and staff and how hard they work to serve good food in a welcoming atmosphere. Some of my favorite dishes include the pickle soup, garlic salad, salmon sandwich, meatloaf, lobster bisque, Reuben sandwich, orange crepes, and (right now) the crawfish Étouffée. I love the local beer and wine selection as well as Mandy’s bloody marys. This is such a special restaurant and I’m so glad it is a part of our community.”

“Absolutely loved the place. It was a quick stop by. The place offers splendid view of Mississippi River and the staff is very courteous. If you are from new York you will just fall in love with this , everyone on the west seem to be patient and highly professional good job management. You recruited good woman at the counter. Can’t remember her name. She kept making me the coffee again and again until I liked. Bravo”
