Pluses? Today (Wednesday) is the Italian buffet and kids eat free. Also, the bartender with the long beard makes a great old fashioned, and is the reason for the five stars for service.
Now for the negatives. Everything here is presented in a way that tries too hard to be nouveau. Classics such as Caesar salad, mozzarella sticks, and French onion soup have little twists put on them that do not actually elevate the dishes. Not only that, but there’s no hint on the menu that these little tweaks have been made. The result is something that resembles the classic dish, but tastes “off” for one reason or another. The French onion soup has added ingredients (minced garlic?) and is missing others (the crouton). The Caesar salad is served wedge-style. The mozzarella sticks are served like little disks, but because the cheese is cut flat, when it fries, the cheese becomes hard and chewy rather than melty and squeaky.
I won’t rate breakfast service because the wait staff were understaffed due to the storm and the electricity was on the fritz from the storm, but I will say that after our breakfast was brought to us, nobody came to see how our food was (we needed salt and more syrup) for over half an hour, and that was only because I had asked a different employee if they could bring us our check. I will, however, comment on our first night’s dinner service. We ate early, during their dead time (about 4:30pm) because we had been on the road all morning and were hungry. Our waitress took our order, brought our food, asked us how our food was…and then about 10-15 minutes later brought us the check and asked if we needed a to-go container. The problem was that we were still actively eating, had wanted to do dessert, and I would’ve happily sat and had another drink. There was one other person in the restaurant; it’s not like seating was at a premium and they needed us out. Not sure what all of that was about.
Ah, and dessert. My recommendation is to not order the peach cobbler. Ours took about 30-40 minutes to come out, and when we got it back up to our room, I had to turn around and go back because it was raw batter under the crust of dough. As in, like soup. The staff said this was a problem they had seen several times the day before and that they thought it had been fixed, but apparently not. The cheesecake was good, but not a replacement that sated our craving for a fruity dessert.
All in all, an average place…but they need to stop trying so hard to be avant garde and focus on taste over presentation.
The table next to us was fun! We spent our time enjoying the visit with them also! Try the fish and chips or BBQ ribs – excellent! The beautiful buffet was also an option – crab legs and prime rib galore. A bit pricey at $50/person. None of us opted for that.
I can say this was a great evening and we will return!
