    The grounds are a literal paradise!!! So beautiful!! JUST GO!!! The restaurant spaces are lovely, the service was top notch. The shrimp was amazing, the fettuccine was good but could have been seasoned more. Was not provided salt/pepper or butter for the table. Fish and chips-fish was great. Fries were lacking. Loved that they brought out a little dessert for our 35th anniversary! We will definitely be back!!!

    High priced for what you get, slow service, mistakes on the final bill and ambivalent attitude from server and manager.
