OMG! There are very few words amazing enough to describe this place. Between the history and stories, the amazing grounds, and the atmosphere, this place would be worth the stop anyway. The food is stunning. We started with the fire baked bread. It is cooked on an open flame and it is incredible. Then we had the short rib and the red fish. The short rib was so flavorful and rich that it should be illegal. The grits and sauce complement it perfectly. The redfish was really good, but the crawfish risotto was good beyond words. I think it could be the best side I have ever tasted. The flavor was bold and the rice was perfectly cooked. This is officially my new favorite meal of all time. The atmosphere is very comfortable. Food is cooked on an open flame with an amazing grill system that is fun to watch. The wood fire makes the room cozy and warm. Our server, Maddy was great! I have lived 45 minutes from here for a while and never been here. We are spending the night and hoping the nights as good as the meal. My advice if you are considering eating here is that it is worth the drive, cost and chance of meeting a ghost.
Upon sitting down, we promptly ordered drinks. I ordered a Dr Pepper and waited about ten minutes for it, even though I could see the soda fountain from where we were seated.
We quickly ordered a beet salad and lettuce wraps as appetizers. We then waited another 35 minutes before they were served.
When ordering my entrée, I chose the redfish and was informed that they were out of broccolini. That was fine — not the end of the world — but the replacement offered was carrots. I asked if there was a reasonable substitute. I was told, “We can do grits.”
Two issues with that: first, grits aren’t exactly a vegetable; second, there are plenty of other vegetables on the menu, why weren’t any of them offered, when the restaurant ran out of the item I originally ordered? I said whatever and asked for them on the side knowing my companions would eat them.
Our entrées didn’t arrive until 8:13, and my plate still came piled with carrots — a lot of them. For a place charging $40 per entrée, you’d expect the kitchen to either offer a reasonable alternative or at least follow a simple request.
I understand that a busy night can make consistency difficult, but I can’t fathom how they justify such high prices for this level of service.
To make matters worse, halfway through our meal, a bartender approached our table mid-bite — without saying “excuse me” — and asked, “Did y’all have any drinks at the bar?” My two companions had, and the restaurant typically keeps track of that information, especially since they funnel waiting guests to the bar before seating.
At that point, we were done. We promptly asked for the check and left, disappointed and frustrated by the entire experience.
Celebrated our 46th anniversary & had a wonderful time.
Complimentary glass of champagne to start it off was a treat!
Food was amazing….
Grilled oysters, Brussels sprouts. Fried Chicken Milanese, Hearth Steak. Bread Pudding OMG
