Located on the shoreline of Deer Creek Reservoir, the warm and contemporary ambiance paired with the locally focused cuisine provides a casual yet upscale dining experience unlike any other in the state.

We had a nice dinner at Wildflower. Our server was fantastic, we had so much with her. Our drinks and food came quickly. We had pasta which was ok, also keeping in mind we are not in Italy but it’s a welcome change from all the burgers and fried food in the most restaurants here.
