My husband and I went here twice recently while vacationing. Our first experience was absolutely delightful. We had a waitress named Sayde and she was so much fun. Not only was she knowledgeable about the various things on the menu, she radiated customer service and was very personable. The atmosphere was divine and we would both give it a five, something we really enjoy. The first thing my husband ordered was the Rib Eye Grilled Cheese Sandwich and he would give that a five 5. He said it had an excellent pairing of cheese and bread and it was overall delightful. We also ordered the sweet potato fries with our first meal and would clearly give them a five 5. We found the glaze to be some of the best we've ever had and know if given an opportunity, would order that again. I ordered the Chicken Genoveise (Sp.) and did not like it at all. I will say the chicken was perfectly cooked and so tender, but the sauce on top was not to my liking at all, I found it to be very undesirable. However, when they ask how we liked it and I shared with them, they took it and tried to put a mushroom sauce on top of it to help with the taste. I could still taste the other sauce on it and so I didn't find it very delightful, but at least they tried. We both had their Cream of Mushroom Soup and found that completely delectable. We would hands-down give that a five 5 and I would order that again if given a chance. Because it was our first visit and we were vacationing, we decided to order dessert. I had the Oooey Gooey German Chocolate Cake and my husband had the Pumpkin Pie and they were so yummy, we would also give them a well-deserved five 5.
Our second visit wasn't as exciting, but parts of it were still very good. My husband had prime rib with green beans and cheesy potatoes, and he would clearly give the prime rib itself a five 5. He said the prime rib was perfectly cooked, flavorful, and tender. I had the Mahi Mahi, but was not excited about it and did not enjoy it too much. We both had the cheesy potatoes, but would give them a 2 1/2, not even a three. he ordered the green beans which had bacon and onions in it and he loved those. He would give them a five 5 as well and said they tasted delicious and they were an excellent pairing of ingredients. I do not like bacon and so I asked them to bring me grilled asparagus, but they forgot and brought me the green beans. However, once I shared with them that I had ordered the asparagus , the person who delivered my food went to take care of that. I'm guessing they were in a hurry to get it back to me and bring the asparagus because it did not taste that great. I let my husband taste it and it just did not have a grilled or seasoning flavoring to us at all. The bread was just average to us, not very soft, but a three in flavoring, however, we were glad to have that. I do want to say that this restaurant has some absolutely delicious water to drink. I know that sounds so unimportant, but for a person that has to drink filtered water, it really is. I actually enjoyed that the most, more than even my flavored tea. We both had soup on our second visit and I ended up with the Tomato Bisque and he had the Lobster & Shrimp Bisque and we were absolutely delighted. Both of us would give our soups a five 5 and are thankful we had the opportunity to try them. We were not very crazy about the mushrooms as an appetizer. My husband thought they were going to be baked and I did not really like the horseradish dip they came with, but they were a decent size mushroom. We would give those a three 3 and probably not order those again, but I'm sure they have an appetizer that would taste yummy to us.
I will say I absolutely LOVED their decorations in the restaurant and the gift shop was delightful.
I am so glad that we both went. Except for the few pieces of food I found to be not really desirable, I would give this restaurant a five 5. With that being said, it was given a four 4, but if we ever returned, there would definitely be some things we'd order again. Plus if we had the opportunity to have Saydee as our server, we could make that request and be delighted with that too.
