    Overall a great experience. The menu was diverse, and the food was good. The restaurant is beautifully decorated. Only issue was getting refills on water. I asked the waiter a few times, but it never came. It was very hot outside and water was served warm, and I was not able to get the waiter to refill our carafe.

    Turkey pie and shrimp & grits were a bit over salted but otherwise flavor was good. Biscuit in Turkey pie was very dry and almost hard. Kid’s Mac & cheese was very bland. Fries were lackluster. The kids eat free on Tuesdays offer does not include flank steak kids meal (this was not clear on the website)

    We were seated in a back room by gift shop. It lacked all the ambience of what we saw in the pics. Not sure how you get into main dining room that is so lovely. We asked, they said no.

    Followed-up the whiskey tour/tasting with a lovely meal with an even lovelier lady. Make a day of it, and save room for dessert! Staff at all stages couldn’t have been nicer or more accommodating - thanks for the experience 🙂

    We had a lovely server, Stephen. He was very attentive to our table. We waited about 15-20 minutes for our table, and I would HIGHLY suggest making reservations ahead of time (I do not think 15-20 minutes is a long wait time, its standard, however a reservation makes life easier). The food was delicious. I had the crab cake sandwich with chips, and it was lovely.
