Food was amazing! We started with the cornbread….yummy!!! Enjoyed with the mixed green salad. We enjoyed the trout and chicken…taste and flavor were amazing and presentation was top notch! We finished with the strawberry/rhubarb hand pies for dessert. Everything was superb. Highly recommend!!!

Great menu! Roast chicken was excellent as was the Dak Bulgogi wings. We loved the spam appetizer and the roasted carrots. The local wine paired beautifully with all our food.

Didn't expect a breakfast buffet instead of brunch on Sunday morning. Good service, the only thing would be great if someone would be greeting when people walking in. After few minutes waiting I needed to ask the bartender if someone will come and seat us. That's not acceptable for Forbes rated property. Food was pretty poor in the selection of choices for buffet. Pretty sure we will not come back for the breakfast buffet again.

This place is MUST TRY! We dined here two evenings for dinner, 4 days for breakfast and we were never disappointed. The staff were friendly , attentive and knowledgeable and food was delicious . Special shout out to Drew for our morning service . He went above and beyond to meet our every need . You must try the carrots , focaccia, whipped spam and hand pies at dinner service . They were my favorites! I seriously do not understand why this place does not have 5 stars. You will not be disappointed!

A Magical Birthday Celebration Experience I recently celebrated my fiancé’s birthday at this incredible place, and it was truly unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, everything was perfect—the ambiance was elegant and beautifully set up, creating the ideal atmosphere for a special evening. We were warmly welcomed and accommodated with such care and professionalism. The service stood out in particular—our server was attentive, kind, and made us feel genuinely taken care of the entire night. Her name was Brooke. The food was absolutely delicious, with every dish thoughtfully prepared and full of flavor. To top it all off, there were special birthday touches that made the night feel extra personal and memorable. What I appreciated most was how peaceful and quiet the setting was—it allowed us to fully enjoy the moment and each other’s company without any distractions. This place went above and beyond, and I can’t recommend it enough for anyone looking to celebrate something special. We’ll definitely be back!

Food, drink, and service were all fantastic. If you're in the area, this is a required stop. You honestly won't find anything better, especially for how affordable it was. Staff was especially helpful with allergies and they made everyone feel at home. An absolute gem.

Vibes were great, place was absolutely beautiful! The food was fine, nothing special about it, not worth the price, small small portions. We went for brunch btw.

Excellent food and local wine at a very high price in a 5 star hotel setting. If you’re looking for an intimate setting, this isn’t it. If you have the means and are looking for truly excellent food in modest portions, this is the place for you.
