    This was a special dinner for my sister's birthday, a place we'd talked about going to for some time, and we were really looking forward to it! The wait staff were all very nice, informative, and attentive, but... We ordered an appetizer to share the Trumpet Mushrooms, and it was absolutely delicious, a departure from the "normal." We ordered our mains - my BIL ordered the scallops, my sister, the filet mignon, and I ordered the bison NY strip. We sat. And, sat. As others who'd come in after us had their dinners delivered... we still waited. Finally, the waiter said that the steaks had been overcooked and they were remaking them. My BIL's scallops came, and my sister and I still waited. Finally! Our steaks came... but there were 2 filets. I asked about my order of the bison and was told that they'd been out of it for a few day. Huh? Okay, I'll keep the filet. But, dang... a Dijon sauce??? Nope. I don't do anything with vinegar. So, I sent it back and opted for the trout, which was delicious. But, the mistakes and the time it took for our mains was really not good, especially for being first-timers. Will we be back. Yes, I do understand that things happen. But, as a higher end establishment, it should be addressed.

    We are frequent guests at Briarhurst Manor. The meal was one of the best we have had there. The Denver Steak and Scallop & Asparagus Risotto were excellent! The server was attentive and gracious. Highly recommend for a special nice dinner.
