    What a great place for dinner after a long day at Dollywood theme park. It was relatively quiet, and the tables were large and booths were cozy. The charcuterie board was large and filling, and the short rib with grits and broccolini was beyond delicious. Topping it off was the panna cotta and a huge portion of strawberry shortcake. Wait staff was attentive in the right way - not checking on you every five seconds but never an empty glass or plate on the table. Would absolutely recommend a meal here if staying at either of the Dolly Parton resorts!

    Dinner was great! My husband had the prime rib and I had the salmon and we were both very pleased. Lulu was our server and she was great! She told us about the most popular items and explained about the desserts options too. The manager was also great. He checked on our meals and made sure we had everything we needed a couple of times. We will definitely be back again!
