    A beautiful, somewhat casual atmosphere in a "lodgey" setting. Music (easy listening/soft rock) level was perfect for conversation. The bar is very inviting with cowhide backed barstools & an on-point bartender. William was the perfect host for introducing us to Black Prong as this was our first time here. Actually, the entire staff was all very warm & pleasant. Our dinner was perfect! We both had the tenderloin which cut like butter - cooked perfectly. The mashed potatoes were homemade & the fresh green beans were cooked to a warm, crisp perfection. Even the gravy (served on the side) was very tasty. We ordered the homemade sourdough bread which came on a cutting board with wedges of real butter. We had dessert - key lime pie & creme brulee, both garnished with fresh fruit, a bit of cream & 2 macaroons. I tried a craft cocktail - Kentuckey Cocoa - which was delish!! I had 2!! The only thing that wasn't perfect - our dinners took a little time to get to our table but it wasn't "I'm so mad I'm going to complain & never go back" late. Our waiter was aware & apologized. Honestly, maybe 10 minutes past the perfect serving time. Black Prong holds special events like Murder Mystery Dinners, Commedians & live music. The overnight accommodations include quaint cottages & an area for RV's. The best thing (besides the awesome restaurant!) is the setting! It's beautiful, surrounded by 53,000 acres of the Goethe State Forest. Plenty of trails to hike, bike or horse back ride. I HIGHLY recommend Black Prong! It's a bit of a drive, but that's part of its charm. It's beautiful scenery all the way. And Sunday, drinks are 1/2 off!! Perfect!!

    We took my dad on Saturday night for an early Father’s Day dinner, from the time we walked into the building, they greeted us , sat us right away, the waitress was awsome, we never had to ask for anything, she was always checking on us, the food, oh can I say perfect! The steak was amazing, so tender. My dad had the salmon and he said he loved it. We will go back again.

    Absolutely the BEST dining and service experience in ALL of the Nature Coast area! Excellent food! Fresh seafood entrees and great local Quincy Cattle steaks. Extensive wine selection and great bar service too. The deserts were decadent and rich. Chef Jordan and the service staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. Our guests and family will be back often.

    Went to dinner on Mother's day. The restaurant is beautiful and the ambiance was great. That's the good part. We ordered the Teryaki salmon, and tenderloin French dip sandwich. The food was very disappointing. I'm not sure if they were having an off night, but the food took a long time to get to the table. The salmon was very raw in the middle, and the sandwich was cold and soggy with aujus more like a gravy. I specifically ordered the sandwich thinking "how could I go wrong with a steak sandwich?" Anyway, our server was also the bartender so we didn't feel like we got top tier service. We did give our feedback to the server and they did try and make it right by giving my wife a free dessert, but the overall experience was disappointing. I'm not trying to bash or be too picky, just sharing our experience. For the price, we didn't really feel like it was a good value, even though it is such a beautiful place. Maybe we'll give it another chance later down the road, but not real soon.
