The steaks and lobster mac n cheese were delightful. Searing your steak on a heated salt block at your table was a new experience for us. Definitely recommend!

If friends invited us to go, we’d join them. However, this restaurant won’t be in our top 10 choices in this area. Since we were there for dinner on a December Monday night, it was very quiet… in this large restaurant, we were 1 of 2 couples in the whole place. Whereas, it’s a perfect setting for lots of activity. Maybe we’ll return on a Friday or Saturday night in the spring or summer to give it another chance.

Attractive restaurant at the Cherokee Valley golf course. Very nice views and the food was surprisingly good at brunch. Chicken and waffles were good but the smoked butt shredded over tater tots with cowboy candy was delicious. Really solid service from Brianna too.

I always hate to provide a bad review, unsure if it was an off night or poorly sourced food but every plate was either unexceptional or actually cooked so poorly we ate only half of it. We hate to waste food so… we did eat some of it. The salmon was undercooked, closer to mid-rare despite asking for medium well, came back over done and dry, not eaten, it took 20 mins to bring it back, mgmt did not check on the recook. The seabass was overcooked, tough even (I’d say likely frozen) same with the calamari. The ribeye wasn’t tender and the filet was rare (we even took into consideration the salt brick design to warm it up but it was very rare - we are mid-rare steak folks). One highlight was the bacon wrapped scallops. Wine was fine, service was good. But not a restaurant we will revisit for a quality meal, which is unfortunate due to the lack of high end restaurants in the area.

Great anniversary dinner. Play golf there often and have enjoyed the lunch’s but never been there for dinner. We enjoyed a couple of well made cocktails while waiting on our “Chef’s Board”. Had the ribeye and crab legs, both were amazing! Mushrooms, risotto, veggies and the bacon wrapped scallops drove the whole dinner home! Will definitely be booking later tee times so we can dine again.
