   What a great night! We didn't know what to expect from the Equestrian Center when we booked our reservation, but we had been told that it was always very memorable to visit at Christmas time because of the beautiful decorations. The opportunity arose this weekend so we seized it. So glad that we did! The food was nonpareil; service was also beyond what we have experienced anywhere else in the area. All set in a beautiful dining hall immediately adjacent to the main equestrian arena where you can enjoy the spectacle of show jumping and dressage as you eat. If you are considering trying Stirrups but still haven't made it out there, what are you waiting for? Go tonight - you won't be disappointed. Yes, it was a little pricey, but worth every nickel.

   We were a party of 6 celebrating anniversaries. Everyone’s Dinner was fabulous, unfortunately my portion of dinner was not provided. Possibly a kitchen mix up, I wasn’t able to eat my steak, i did have one slice and it was outstanding.i requested Daniel my server to please package it up to take home, which he promptly removed my plate. It wasn’t until paying our bill i mentioned that I hadn’t received my dinner to take home. Daniel promptly returned from the kitchen with what i thought was my New York strip. when paying over $70 dollars for a steak you would think it would have been properly packaged to the correct customer. Instead i got a piece of a bone with about 1 scrape of meat on it, probably saved for a pet. My suggestion, have your Stirrups server plate your take home portion AT your table. Unfortunately they lost my $70 plus steak.

   Second night in a row eating here. Manny and Moody were very helpful. I wish they had some plain grilled fish and some vegetarian pastas that were a simpler preparation and not loaded with cream. Excellent overall!

   Staff is very pleasant and attentive. Food is very good. I wish there were a vegetarian option or two but would return for sure. Beautiful dining room as well. Highly recommended.

   A beautiful restaurant in a gorgeous setting ! The service and food is outstanding, we had raw oysters as an appetizer, delicious. I had the beet and apple salad , sweet and crunchy and perfect. My husband had the wedge , he enjoyed that. I had the 6 ounce filet and he had the lamb. Both were cooked to perfection , tender and juicy. Sides of cream corn and Brussels sprouts were yummy as well. No desserts we were too full ! It’s expensive but worth it for a special evening.

   The Easter Buffet offered an assortment of choices including unlimited oyster bar and shrimp. The side dishes included mac & cheese (but not for this GF Person), potatoes, roasted carrots, and green beans. We had the lamb and beef at the tail end of the seating time, and thus it was a bit overdone. I passed on all of the desserts. The glass of wine was overpriced. The room and outdoor settings were truly beautiful. The music was a nice benefit. Over all it was a very good experience, but pricey.

   Perfect brunch for Easter. Staff, food, and ambiance were incredible. I highly recommend spending your holiday (or any) meals at Stirrups.

   I love dining at WEC it is so beautiful and the food although pricey is usually top notch. It’s an experience which is why I made a reservation for Easter. Unfortunately the Easter Brunch missed the mark. The food was not hot there was no fresh fruit even the pastries were dry. The omelet station was run by a super sweet person who was new and tried her best but made thick runny omelets it was 9a and we were her first customers so I’m sure she improved. The table service was the worst we constantly had to get up and find someone to refill coffee or juice no sugar only cream. We even had to grab silverware from another table to eat after they cleared our silverware. It was so disappointing. The clincher was when the bill arrived there was a mandatory 20% gratuity of $66 making the total for three of us $420.75. I knew coming in the price of the meal, I was not aware of the mandatory 20%. If the food OR service had been impeccable I would have no issue paying what I agreed to however both were terrible so I asked to speak to the manager. She was super sweet and offered to give me a to go coffee while she discussed my complaints with another manager. The solution was to charge me full price for the meals but remove the $66 tip. I was shocked but appreciated the gesture of trying to make it right I’m just not sure removing the tip was the right thing to do. I feel compelled to share my experience so others who feel like splurging for the WEC Brunch will be something special for their family understands that the experience will be memorable but not for the right reasons.
