It has a unique, personalized touch rather than a corporate feel. The food was outstanding as well!

The following night, however, we had the shrimp scampi and filet mignon, both of which were fantastic. The filet was incredibly tender and well-seasoned, while the scampi was bursting with flavor and utterly tasty. We also shared the chocolate butterfinger cake, which was just okay. One aspect that was frustrating was the need to repeatedly ask for coffee, spoons, and sugar. My husband would order toast but then have to request jam each time. One server, named Presley, stood out as excellent; she proactively brought everything we needed and checked back frequently to ensure we were satisfied. However, there seemed to be an issue with staff training, as we often found ourselves waiting for a long time with no servers in sight, despite there being only two tables occupied. Overall, we appreciated the convenience of having the restaurant right in the hotel, and most of the food was truly enjoyable.

I have a top ten list for these. After our visit I could not rate it even in the top 30.My rating is based on 3 weights :70% taste20% presentation10% priceWith that in mind :70% taste: Hollandaise was tasteless runny. Hash browns were awful (see picture)Asked for easy, soft poached eggs. Had to send back to correct. Could not eat the Hash browns. The English muffin was toasted but soggy.20% presentation: hard to describe (see picture)10% price: over priced.NOW WITH THAT SAID : The chef came out and talked with us about the meal. He apologized for the Benedicts and said that he is not a breakfast cook and not used to cooking it. We discussed and critiqued the Bennys . He said they are a new management and still working on the menu.We will give them some time and try it again later on.The waiter was friendly and cordial.The only day for the Bennys is on Sunday brunch .

The room had lots of wood as the whole hotel does. Everything is very clean and kept up well. Our room was quiet. No noisy air conditioner! The bathroom is large and up-to-date. It didn't have a fridge or microwave. Ice is provided on each floor. The 2 lane bowling alley workout room both were very nice. We didn't eat at the restaurant. They give a nice discount to AARP members. Would recommend staying at this unique historic hotel.

Mike had the top sirloin with mashed potatoes and I had the walleye. We shared the lemon almond apricot cake for dessert. Incredible service, great presentation of our meals and so delicious. This property is so beautiful and we hope people in the area will patronize the hotel restaurant!

We noticed that other people at other tables irritated by the time it took to get their food too. Very nice place beautiful atmosphere. Good food. I just have to eat much faster and better table service. We'll try again.

Their biscuits and gravy are the best I've ever tasted—and trust me, I’ve tried them everywhere they're homemade. I’ll definitely be making the trip from Johnston just for breakfast. I’m also looking forward to trying their steaks sometime.

Good but not very seasoned. I spun the wheel and had the Tuesday night special, a bagelburger . Sometimes you gamble and sometimes you lose. I lost. It was possibly the worst burger I have ever eaten and I 've eatenat carnivals and bowling alleys and so far the lousiest meal I have had on our vacation. This chimera consisted of: burger,egg, bacon, avocado and pesto....on a bagel. How can someone put so many ingredients in a sandwich and still have it lack anydiscernable flavor? Well, if grease is a flavor I suppose they achieved that. I couldn 't even finish half of it. Oh it camewith fries and cocktail sauce too ???? . It 's like someone let their kid into the liquor cabinet before asking them to designthe meal So here I sit. A rock in my stomach and a heart full of regrets. A Luxury dining experience I could have livedwithout. 0 outta 4 stars.
