   Perfect mother son dinner while visiting my son at Duke. Best burger I ever ate. No kidding and the fried oysters fabulous. We really had a lovely evening. We plan to be back for our next special occasion.

   A lovely brunch to celebrate two birthdays! The only concern was that we were too close to the piano (music was lovely) but it made conversation difficult!

   Everything was wonderful. Such a beautiful environment for enjoying a delicious meal. The lovely piano music was just the perfect background for nice conversation with our friends. The food was fresh, hot, and delicious. The server was attentive but not intrusive. We will definitely visit again. Thank you for a wonderful dining experience!

   We had a very pleasant dining experience celebrating our anniversary. Our server, Michael, was present but never intrusive. We both had shrimp and grits and were very pleased with our choice...and it was very filling!

    While hostesses and hotel staff, for the most part, were seen wearing masks our two waitresses DID NOT and that was bothersome. Given that I'd requested seating outside (and totally understood why the terraces were closed due to the hear) AND were thoughtfully seated far from the other diners, neither of these two young women wore a mask. That was off-putting.

    The food was fine. It was the service that was off kilter. We sat at the start for some time with empty glasses and no water and no menus. Eventually both. Long wait for drinks when ordered. Long wait to order. We didn’t expect fast food. This is a leisurely paced fine dining restaurant. We got our salads in good time but no bread. Then eventually bread. Then the main courses arrived with the right timing. Two orders were for the lamb, but no steak knives arrived until halfway or later through eating the main course; I guess the waiter saw that the main courses were in place. No anticipation of the need for those steak knives done after ordering. Very late arrival of the knives as if no one was attending us. When the main courses arrived, two asked for Malbec wine by the glass. By the time the knives arrived late, we asked about the wine, which seems not to have been ordered. Good food was jumbled by incredibly disjointed service. That made for much disappointment.

    I love your place because being a person with an autoimmune disease, I do not go into restaurants. I love the outside seating. The only thing I would change is the chairs for outside, they are too low and very hard to sit up and eat a meal with.

    Although I called in the AM of the reserved day asking for patio seating, when we arrived there were no seats available on the patio - although the restaurant indoors was very lightly filled. That was disappointing because it was a beautiful evening. Otherwise, everything was great.

    The server was great! She offered menu options for food and cocktails. The food came out in a reasonable time and tasted great. I will definitely go back. Only thing I disliked was the fact le we were seated at, which was right at the patio door that servers kept using and the front door. There were plenty tables open that would have less traffic around them. Overall good experience

    Excellent meal in a pleasant setting. Blooming plants framed golf course views with the sun setting beyond. The food was great with emphasis on seafood. We had wahoo with eggplant, and swordfish with root vegetables. Great desserts, super service. Couldn’t have been better for our anniversary dinner.

    Had dinner there to celebrate our anniversary. We included this in our Open Table reservation. After a delicious spinach salad with goat cheese, and loin of lamb (we split appetizers and entrees), we were presented with a delicious chocolate dessert with fresh berries and a chocolate "Happy Anniversary" sign sitting in a dollop of whipped cream. Pre-dinner cocktails were excellent. Next time we would hit the bar beside the restaurant before dinner for a wider selection.

    The lamb was amazing and cooked to perfection. A different temperature was requested for each one of us and all three came out perfect! There was a wonderful birthday treat for our daughter and the peaches and crème brûlée did not disappoint. Service was great. Dining atmosphere was upscale. I wore a simple dress and my husband wore a collared button down shirt with slacks. We felt appropriately dressed compared to those around us. The meal does come with a hefty price tag but we knew that before going. We will dine here again for special occasions.

    It was wonderful to see a separate dinner menu after so long with only the same menu as room service during the pandemic. The scallop special with purple rice and morels was spectacular, so amazingly tasty. The rest of the dinner was very good too, salads and seafood. We will be back.
