My wife and I were in town for a wedding recently and our stay was phenomenal. The grounds are absolutely beautiful and we enjoyed exploring the mansion. The salmon dinner was delicious and my wife loved the chicken pot pie. Lexi and Melanie were so gracious and their service was wonderful. We look forward to another visit soon.

Melanie was absolutely amazing! She made our entire experience unforgettable. We had a party of 20, and she handled everything with grace, professionalism, and such a positive attitude. She was attentive, friendly, and made everyone feel taken care of. Having her as our bartender was truly a joy for our entire group. She kept things running smoothly and brought such a great energy to our night. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

Had one of the worst dining experiences of my life last night with the rudest, most unprofessional bartender I’ve ever encountered, Melanie. She was incredibly belligerent even after I apologized and admitted my mistake by taking a dish that I assumed was mine. The rest of my party had been served and was almost done while I'd waited quite a while for just a simple appetizer that seemed to be sitting in front of me on a tray, getting cold. I said I was sorry, but she continued to loudly berate me for my mistake. I had heard the service had really gone downhill, but that was completely unacceptable. Also, I wouldn’t want my food sitting out on a table in a bar with people just walking around it. Gross. The night was ruined, yet I made a point of tipping over 20% because other people were working and not being hateful. Hope they don’t split tips.

The food and service here is always excellent! Such a nice hidden gem in SoBo! Portions and sizes are very fair for the price, and love the historical features.

Chicken pot pie was great. Brisket sandwich was very tough and fatty - do NOT recommend. Came with good sweet potato fries though.

My wife and I were staying at the resort and ordered takeout. Burgers were excellent. Service was impeccable. The server remembered our icewaters even after I left and came back 30 minutes later to get our takeout order.
