    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.

    Overall, was an average resort restaurant. The smoked meat appetizer was excellent, the steak was sub-prime and overpriced. The server was very nice and attentive.
