The atmosphere and decor were very nice. Very clean to. The waitresses were very pleasant and helpful. The food was outstanding! The complex is very large, we had just a little difficulty finding the entrance to the restaraunt. Although it was nighttime, and we were in blizzard conditions. Highly recommend tailwater for a fine cuisine experience. Another plus is the tables aren't jammed together. They're nicely spaced. And the chairs are extremely comfortable.

Great New Year’s Eve experience. Friendly staff, good food, and wonderful cocktails. Fresh house-made whipped cream made the carrot cake for dessert.

I thought menu was limited and expensive. What was brought to me was good along with others at my table. Not great for price but good. Very dark in room. Waitress did her job well. Never asked how was our food but that’s not an issue.
