So disappointed in our Thanksgiving meal. This was our 1st time there & we’re anxious to find a new place to dine. Nobody seemed to know what they were doing. My husband told the hostess our reservation was with Open Table but we got an email later in the evening wanting to know why we didn’t go. Our waiter was nowhere to be found. Hubby had to go in search of silverware and napkins. The waiter never picked up our used dinnerware. I wanted coffee with dessert but we couldn’t find him and never got it. The food COULD have been good, but the turkey, ham, & dressing was WAY too salty. The dressing was basically crumbs. The desserts were pretty and for the most part were good. But who doesn’t serve pumpkin or pecan pie on Thanksgiving? I’m pretty sure we won’t be returning.

There was a piece of plastic attached to a hair in a cookie. The manager deducted a plate for that. The drinks were terrible even after redoing them. The food was okay but no pumpkin pie or pecan pie. The price per plate was a scary $74.

The drinks took a long time to come to the table, actually our appetizers arrived first. They were very light on the alcohol. The food portions were tremendously and only one of us enjoyed their food (the pork chop). Prices are very high for the quantity and quality.

This restaurant is above-par for in-hotel dining. Appetizers including smoked fish and beef dish were superb and generously portioned. Pasta Bolognese main was uninspired. Atmosphere was quiet but view of pond with fountains and lighting was quite nice.
