    They accepted and honored our reservation for 8:00 pm for 6 people, and the restaurant closes at 8:00 pm. Was seated promptly. Service was good. Menu had a great selection. Food was delicious. This was my second time here. I would definitely return when in the area again. The grounds and restaurant are very beautful.

    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.
    The Eldred PreserveResponded on April 16, 2025
