- JJaniceEast Tennessee •17 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoOh my! This was our very first visit, and went last night for the special dinner event for their season opening. Did we ever have a gastronomic experience last night at Irma’s Kitchen in Cragun’s Resort!!! We had 3 appetizers, wedge salad, 4 entrees: duck, two pastas and one salmon, dessert of strawberry shortcake and macarons. One glass of wine was Included in the price per person. Incredible!!! Our server, Pauline, was excellent, efficient and fun to have her take care of us. We also met, Melissa, the events & dining manager, and we had an enjoyable conversation. We will be back to Irma’s Kitchen during our stay this summer!More infoIrma's KitchenPrice: Expensive• American• East Gull Lake•4.3

- TTMinneapolis - St. Paul •1 review5.0Dined 3 days agoExcellent meal. We started with the brussell sprouts appetizer and they were cooked to perfection. My husband had the steak Oscar and I had the roasted half chicken. Both were exceptionally delicious. For dessert, I had the chocolate torte with strawberry puree and it was one of the best things I've ever eaten. My husband had the creme brulee and thoroughly enjoyed it. I'm not sure of our servers name (Elona?), but she was absolutely outstanding; friendly, helpful and there when we needed something, but never hovering. She also made some exceptional cocktails! We had a great experience and would highly recommend Char.More infoCHAR Craft Steaks - Grand View LodgePrice: Expensive• Steakhouse• Nisswa•4.8
