"I went with my friend … two women. It was early Saturday evening 5:15. The restaurant was not busy. The food was good but costly. I had a ribeye steak … cooked to perfect temp … a tad salty and a tad greasy. But good. (Shoestring type fries …way too greasy … I ate only a couple. We had squash flowers stuffed with crabmeat for appetizer…absolutely delicious! And fabulous flourless peanut butter chocolate cake for dessert. We sat looking out at the lake. The bar has nice ambience too with fireplace and the lighting is nice. The servers were very sweet, but they seemed really nervous…like they were afraid they might make a mistake. They seemed to be under a lot of pressure. My complaint is with the waiter. He was pushy and rude. He cut me off when I asked him about a wine recommendation. I had to ask him to let me finish my sentence . When we said we would like to start with an appetizer and decide about our entree later, he said we couldn’t do that … that we would have to order our entree and appetizer at the same time. He was ridiculously rude. I tipped him accordingly. I gave the bulk of what would have been his tip to the servers because they were so sweet. Restaurant has a large parking lot and it would be very easy for the cars to park themselves, but it’s valet parking only. Really silly. It’s a nice place, but I came away thinking get over yourself … trying too hard to be classy which makes it not so classy."

"First, when I made the reservation the indication on Open Table was that there was limited availability. As soon as I made the reservation, I received a phone call from the restaurant that very aggressively wanted to make sure that I was sure I would be able to make it and that I would be there on time. They did make me aware that there was a limited menu, however they could not tell me what was on the menu and told me I should check the write up in the local newspaper for the Best Places for dinner on Valentine's Day for the menu. We arrived about minutes early and the restaurant was basically empty. We were seated immediately. The restaurant slowly filled up over the minutes that we were at our table, but nowhere near filled up to justify the limited reservation times and initial call to confirm the reservation. From there they had a limited choice of wine by the glass and the one my wife chose was per glass with a very small pour. The appetizers were good. Both my wife and I got the crab cakes. The entrees were poor. I had the half smoked chicken and it was over cooked and very dry. My wife had the beef tenderloin and it was also overcooked. I got the red velvet cake for dessert and it was average. Fortunately my wife got the creme brulee and it was good so we ended on a fairly positive note. Big disappointment for what you would expect from a high end hotel restaurant and a Valentine's Day dinner."
