    Musty smell in lobby and restrooms. Slow service. Not knowledgeable about gluten free options. Friendly person did allow for a change of reservation time over the phone. Was excited to show off this establishment to three friends who’d never been there but left a little bit embarrassed.

    I have never had a bad meal. I love the new specialty dinners that have started. The Oktoberfest Cerberus Beer dinner was fantastic and the latest, Alfred Hitchcock themed Wine Dinner was beyond words. We cannot wait for the December 12th Wine Dinner.

    Our entrees & dessert were very good! I had the pork chop & my husband had the Scallops. Both were great. The reason(s) I didn’t give 5 stars: we had a reservation & arrived a couple of minutes before our reservation time to be told there would be a very long wait and we could either sit in the lobby of the hotel (brightly lit and alone right by the entrance and check-in) or sit outside. I asked to take a look at the tables outside. We were walked to the front patio & there were tower heaters & fire pit tables but none of them were lit. This was 7:30 at night on October 5th. Granted it was unseasonably warm, but still not necessarily comfortable. I said if we sit out here, can we have the heater turned on and the hostess said certainly and promptly sat us at a fire pit table right next to a tower heater. Neither our fire pit table nor the tower heater were ever turned on for the duration of our dinner.  Our service was very slow, which I don’t believe was our waiter’s fault as he had quite a long walk to the front porch of the building from the main dining room where I’m sure he was also waiting on tables. We ordered the Caesar salad to get started & it was brought out with literally no dressing. I don’t mean a light dressing I mean zero dressing. We sat there for probably 15 minutes before flagging down a different server as we still hadn’t seen ours come back, to ask for some dressing for our salad. Once we had our dressing, the salad was enjoyable.  I overheard another couple that was also escorted to the patio who had management get involved because they had made a reservation 10 days prior and also been told the same thing we were told that it would be a very long wait & that they could sit outside or wait. They weren’t dressed as warmly as we were so they did not last long outside & management did accommodate them at an inside table after she threw a bit of a fit. So just note that because you have a reservation doesn’t necessarily mean you do🤷‍♀️
