    Two meals. New Years Eve dinner. Restaurant and lounge horribly understaffed causing slow and inattentive service. Meals were mediocre and not served hot. Expect more from a resort hotel. It was not overly crowded. Wait times excessive. Breakfast buffet: Excellent buffet, many options, well done and displayed. Service still weak due to lack of staffing. Not crowded.

    Service was fine. Food was not worth the money at all. Steak was overcooked. Food came out cold. Drinks were good. Would not return.

    The food was excellent, and the building was beautifully decorated for Christmas! I had the sweet tea chicken and my dinner companion had the pork chop, and the sides were well seasoned and prepared. We also had the cheesecake and chocolate tort for dessert, absolutely scrumptious!

    My wife and I and another couple had dinner the Friday night before the Auburn football game. We were seated promptly 10 minutes before our reservation time. Our food was delicious. Recommend Pork Chops or Shrimp & Grits. Both were very tasty.

    The food was excellent. However, the service was terrible and the ambience of the restaurant was extremely lacking. For the price you are paying, you would expect better atmosphere and service.
