    Good service. Excellent ambiance. Pristine surroundings. Polite staff. The main course Swordfish ordered by two in our party was barely cooked. We had to send it back. The server brought it back after 15 minutes. This time it was properly cooked. However, the 15 minute wait did not bode well for our appetite. The dessert Raspberry tart was tasteless and hard as a rock. Overall the food was not up to par. However, ambiance, service and surroundings were beautiful.

    Lovely establishment and great service. Visited for HVRW but food was ok. It came out warm, pork tenderloin was dry and steak was ok. Drinks are very good. Grounds are lovely.

    Since opening, The Eldred Preserve dining room has always had a lot of potential. Unfortunately, they fall short. Food arrives at the table tepid at best. The first course, soup, was just warm enough to be bearable. The second course, steak frites, arrived lukewarm, including the fries . However, dessert saved the night. Service wants to be good, but when the second course arrives and the table still hasn't been cleared from the first, it feels like local diner service. The strange bread basket includes a sweet kind of Cinnabon bread. After multiple requests and 15 minutes later, a replacement basket arrived with three stale slices of bread and no butter. Don't get this wrong; we love the convenience and location of this place, but your money is better spent upstairs in the lounge.
