“From the moment we started the wedding booking process with Grove at Briar Barn Inn, we knew we were in excellent hands. The wedding planning staff was incredibly responsive, professional, and thorough—every question we had, big or small, was answered with care and detail. Especially our event coordinator, Jordan Morrissey, who made the entire experience feel personal and seamless.

Throughout the planning process, the Events Team provided us with so many helpful tools and resources that made organizing everything so much easier. From timelines and checklists to vendor recommendations, we felt completely supported and empowered to plan our dream wedding.

The day of the wedding was absolutely perfect. Jordan was outstanding—calm, attentive, and reassuring. She handled every detail behind the scenes, which allowed us to fully enjoy the day without a single worry. Her presence brought a wonderful sense of peace and joy to the entire experience.

Our guests are still talking about how beautiful and well-run everything was. We received so many compliments about the gorgeous venue, the flawless execution, the warm atmosphere, and the AMAZING food. Many people told us it was one of the most memorable weddings they’ve ever attended.

We are endlessly grateful to Jordan and the entire team at Grove at Briar Barn Inn for making our wedding day so magical. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!“

Our server, Jackie, is the sweetest and so accommodating! Rebecca the House/Event manager was a doll! She was so considerate, helpful and detailed oriented in planning the event. She even had our company logo on the menu! The office will be talking about this one for a long time. Thanks ladies from all of us!“

“Great service amazing staff“

“My wife and I have not had much luck with dining out lately so when it came to picking a restaurant for our anniversary dinner I was nervous that I would find the right place. I came across Nine Elm and read the reviews. They were amazing. So we made a reservation but I was still cautiously optimistic. Things could not have gone better! We arrived and where we were seated was noising, not what we wanted for an anniversary dinner. When I asked the waitress if there was a quieter spot she went to speak to the manager in we were moved immediately. The general atmosphere of the restaurant is nice and the staff is very friendly but professional. The wine was lovely and the food delicious. We ordered the duck and the swordfish special and they were both cooked to perfection. For dessert we split a Creme Brule. The custard was light and creamy a pleasant surprise. We had an amazing time. We will be back!“

“Lydia is beautiful and amazing. Very attentive and professional. She's so great with all the customers even when it's a full house. Wow is all I can say. Highly recommend when she is here. The beers are always cold and they make great cocktails. Food is tasty and fresh. Pizza is a must.“

“Had driven by this place many times. My mother went for lunch with some friends and raved about it, so we thought we'd give it a try. We went with some friends and the wait was longer than we normally would wait, but we had no where to be and a sitter until 11. We had Tresa as a waitress and apps, food and drinks were all great.“

“I want to hear with a big group of friends after work. I think we had 12 at our table and our server was so accommodating with making sure that we had enough seats, menus, and utensils. She also knew the menu so well and was able to recommend something for me to eat because everything looked so good.

I ordered they're spicy margarita which was just spicy enough. I think I ordered a cheeseburger too and it was good, but I wish I got seafood. Someone at the table ordered musseles and they were amazing, so good that I had to make some for myself that weekend. I also got to try the corn ribs and those are a lot of fun to eat. One of my favorite things was their style of french fries because they are puffy and crispy.“

“Good food, fast service, & friendly people. I thought the prices were reasonable!“

“Cala’s is the Bee’s Knees! I am blown away with the quality of food and especially the service! Golden nachos COVERED in tender pulled pork and fresh cheese, chicken tenders are hand battered and well seasoned, hand cut french fries cooked to perfection. Food and service have been superb, consistent, and dependable. Definitely a regular spot for us.“

“OMG Best breakfast ever. Got a western omelet and I must say was the best one one I've had in years. My daughter got the veggie omlet and is the first time I've ever seen her clean her plate! Will definitely go here from now on. No other restaraunt can will ever top this place. Good coffee, friendly people, great service, and great prices. I highly recommend this place to anyone wanting the best! I'm not the only one that likes it there. There was only one empty table left. Wheelchair access, handicap parking nesr the front door that makes it an easy access for those needing it. Will definitely go back there. Hard to find anywhere with a breakfast this good.“

“Delicious food, great variety, and easy online ordering!!!“

“The Driftwood Restaurant is an absolute standout for both food and atmosphere. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with a warm, relaxed vibe that makes it perfect for everything from a casual lunch to a special dinner out.

The menu offers a great variety—fresh seafood, hearty burgers, and creative daily specials. I had the walleye sandwich and it was perfectly cooked: crispy on the outside, flaky on the inside, and loaded with flavor. The side of seasoned fries was a great touch, and the portion size was generous.

Service was fast and friendly, and the staff really went the extra mile to make sure everything was just right. The lakefront views (if you’re near water) or cozy indoor seating add to the experience, depending on the season.“

“Never had a bad meal at this place“

“American Fusion, Friendly staff, Scratch Kitchen, Creative Cocktails.“

“My family and I have been going to IHOP for years now without a single mess-up. Today, they accidentally messed up my order, and I called back asking if they could do anything about it. They immediately remade my meal for me and had a driver send it out. THIS IS HOW ALL BUSINESS SHOULD BE! I will be coming here even more because of my experience today. Great Staff! Amazing food!“

“Such a great experience tonight. We were in town for vacation from Texas and stopped in for dinner. The server was so friendly, relatable, and welcoming. The food was fantastic. Extremely flavorful and just what we needed to and our trip. The chef Nick is incredible and so creative with his dishes. He came out to the table and chatted with us several times. You can tell he loves what he does!!! If you are looking for great food, low key chill environment, and friendly staff… this is the place. Next time we come to town, this place will for sure be our on list of places to come.
Thanks for a great experience tonight y’all!!!“

“I had the salmon and rice plate. It was good! The restaurant is a bit pricey, especially if you're not staying at the hotel it is inside of (if you are, maybe the convenience is worth it). Also, my vegetables were a bit overcooked. But it was seasoned well, the staff were friendly, and the atmosphere is nice.“

“I haven't been there for years and have been thinking about it so I finally ordered a Yankee Pot Roast. It was superb and I will definitely be back but I was disappointed they didn't include gravy for my double order of mashed. I will be specific next time. I gotta try the prime rib too, I never had a bad steak there.“
