I've been here twice this past week! It's a great place to meet friends and have a leisure lunch and brunch without feeling "rushed." It's my go-to place when inviting friends and family to dine out.

We had a great evening! The noise level started out "Energetic" however lessened as the evening progressed. We especially enjoyed John's live, guitar music! "Nice beat, easy to sing along with... we give it a 10/10!"

We have eaten here before and had great food and service. However, our food was very average and service was terrible yesterday. My husband’s fish was overcooked and dry. My side of mashed potatoes was cold and tasteless. Our server NEVER checked on us after taking our order. I had to go and get him at the bar to even get our bill. He only had 3 tables to wait on, so this was unexcusable. It was my husband’s birthday and he wasn’t even offered his birthday dessert. It’s doubtful that we will dine there again.

Already knew that dinner was great here but Brunch was truly wonderful. Our server seemed a bit overwhelmed and didn't revisit our booth enough (never brought coffee around for refills) but he seemed to be new and learning the ropes. Food outstanding and the atmosphere is your mountain lodge.

It took about 15 mins to find out they were out of blackberry cobbler. So long that we then had no time for dessert. Everything else was great

We apologize for the wait on the blackberry cobbler information. We're glad everything else was enjoyable, and we'll work on communicating more promptly in the future. Your feedback helps us improve. Thank you. Sarah, deSha's Guest Relations

The place its self is a lovely establishment with all the traditional wood that reminded me of an English style pub and I went for my birthday dinner. I’m got the crab stuffed mushrooms to start and they were just covered in cheese with not much flavor. I was hankering for the pot roast with root vegetables. The meat was not tender, melt in your mouth like you would expect but a little tough. The root vegetables were mainly celery. Not what I was expecting or wanted. I saw a blackboard upon entry advertising a sangria. I love sangria but when it came out it was just a glass of ice with very little sangria in and no fruit and it tasted watery. I mention this to he server and they replaced it to what a sangria should be. I am glad I did as I would have been unhappy paying $13 for a glass of ice and some water with a bit of sangria in it. This place is usually hit or miss and that’s why I don’t frequent this place.

Another great experience at one of our favorites. We split dinner and salad down the middle which was made easier when it came from the kitchen that way. Food was hot and delicious like it always is. It's truly one of our go-to options. The corn bread that comes out with drinks is as good as you'll find...

Thrilled to hear about your great experience and that you love the corn bread! Looking forward to having you back soon. Thanks! -Sarah, deSha's Guest Relations
