Cliffs Notes: We were excited to go here for dinner on date night. Very disappointed in the service - never got asked for our order so we left after 30 minutes of sitting watching other tables put their order in and get food. Details: Walking in there were several open tables on the patio/porch area. When we checked in for our reservation we asked if there were open porch tables so we could enjoy being outside. Those were reserved for people who were also staying for the show. Since we were only having dinner, no luck of sitting outside (we hadn't spent enough for first class seats). Our waitress came quickly and we ordered beer and wine. The beer took a bit to arrive and the waitress apologized. (~10 minutes altogether after sitting down) After inquiring on the waitress's recommendation for our entree she said she would be back. That was the last time she visited our table for 20+ minutes. In the meantime my wife and I enjoyed our drinks and time chatting...then realized it had been 20 minutes since our waitress was at our table. My water was nearly gone, the beer was long gone, and my wife was just finishing her cocktail. She had noticed a few minutes prior another table got there after us and salads already. At that point we just decided to go elsewhere. We had our cocktail together, had some laughs and just decided to try another spot (Hazelwood here we come). I got our waitress's attention and got the check. When we asked for our check the waitress didn't ask if we were eating (we had a discussion about her recommendation on a specific entree my wife was considering), she was happy to get the bill and that was that. While we would have loved to try the food, the service kept us from staying.

What a lovely spot! Food was flavorful and the menu had a good amount of variety. The real draw is the environment. We had a patio seat and the sounds of the wetlands and the sunset couldn't be beat. Special shout-out to our server Dave, who not only was super attentive to us but spent time telling us so many neat facts about the theatre and the town!

I really wanted to like this restaurant because the menu is interesting and it's a beautiful place (but they were out of mussels); however, don't let these words dissuade you from going. The service was great. Olivier, who served us, was a charm and very attentive. We were just disappointed in the lamb. I guess, as fans of lamb, we placed too much expectation on it. It was decent, but we decided sous vide just isn't our favorite way to prepare lamb. The Osso Bucco short ribs and duck bombs were delicious. And they did give us a free dessert to celebrate my bf's hair's 11th birthday. Yes. His hair. That earned them 4 stars.

I love this place! The Brussels sprouts were probably the best I've ever had. Sweet and savory, and a little crispy on the outside. The hangar steak melted in my mouth and tasted great with the spinach and bernaise sauce. I had an old fashioned and it was delicious! My only suggestion would be is to stir it better. It was mostly whiskey and then getting to the bottom was mostly maple syrup. The atmosphere is cabin like, warm, and romantic (although not romantic enough that it makes it uncomfortable to go with friends. ) This will be one of my go to restaurants from now on!
