    We enjoyed our server very much. She was helpful and knowledgeable. Her name was Victoria. The room is large and loud. The food is very tasty. The cocktails were good but not great. The prices were outrageous! $19 for a Bloody Mary!! Really?? Ok!

    Wonderful Ambience and quick service but food quality is below average. Chicken salad sandwich and pulled pork were both subpar but soup was good.

    Service was ok. Asked for salad dressing on the side. Salad came predressed and was drenched in salad dressing. Very hard to eat. The server never came back to check on us till the end. Food was ok good, but $23 for a side salad with a scoop of chicken salad was a bit high in price.

    Great service, beautiful space, bad food. Thankful what we ordered was not super expensive because none of it was great. Chicken was so dry it stuck to our mouths. Pork sandwich had the same problem (even covered in sauce). “Mashed” and fried golden potatoes were not mashed (just sliced) and super cold. Mac and cheese was bland. The only thing we loved was the cornbread appetizer.

    I had the soup special, which was nice. I also had the Strawberry Salad and my husband had the pork sandwich with lukewarm fries. Both were just OK. It almost seemed as very little dressing was on the salad, so it had very little flavor. Our server was great, however.

    I have probably eaten at this restaurant 75 times over the past thirteen years. The past two times were way below their standards. I had a reservation today at 1pm. I stood in line for ten minutes to check in. The lady confirmed my reservation, told me they would text when my table was ready. It is 6:21. I have received no text. It was so disorganized. I have been there so many, many times, and never seen it like it was today. I just left.

    I was really excited to eat here and honestly the food was terrible. My husband and I both got salads with pulled chicken. The chicken was so dry it was inedible. Each salad with the chicken was close to $30. Definitely a disappointment.

    Delicious food using local and estate ingredients. This is not fast food. Third time eating there in the past year. Gracious service and I always love sitting in the stables. Appreciate opportunity to trade out fries for side salad at nominal charge. Enjoyed the 1/2 price dessert for passholders offer!
