3 couples Recently went to the Christmas Luncheon. Decorations were minimal, piano music was nice.
Food coming out was slow, service was attentive although they were out of a lot of beers on menu.
2 ordered: chicken sandwich and lamb burger with soup, both served with chips. Both enjoyed sandwiches. Soup came out with meal, cold ????
The 4 remaining ordered the beef tenderloin sliders. 3 came out 5 minutes after the sandwiches were served, the fourth slider plate came out 8 minutes later.
Sliders were ok, but with 1 slice of shaved beef on the roll, it definitely was not worth the $24.

My dinner was fine. The piano music was great! Our meal came out too soon- would have enjoyed spreading it out a bit. Spending lots of money- let me enjoy it.
The steak special was nothing special - the price $65 for a NY Strip was over the top! And the actual steak was tough and chewy. Very disappointing!
Veggies were good though.
We skipped breakfast. 😬

I was debating between 3 and 4 stars, so this is more like 3 and a half. We did a wine pairing with dinner that was pretty average, they gave us pretty mainstream wines, nothing interesting. They were not serving the ribeye that my husband wanted. We had filet, which was cooked perfectly, so that definitely saved this dinner. We also got the baked Alaska flamed table side. They couldn’t get the branch to light, and by the time they (sort of) lit it, for two seconds, everything was melted and it just wasn’t very good. It was extremely buggy, I got bit by mosquitoes all night and couldn’t really

My husband and I went to dinner here for my birthday on Saturday night. From the very moment we arrived we had issues. First, we had trouble finding the correct door or anyone to assist us in finding our table. Once we were seated in a lovely outdoor area and we placed our orders the bread was brought to our table. The waitress gave me my husband both bread options but didn’t have both for me. She said she would come back with the other but never did. Later on, my husband finished his bread and was never asked if he’d like more. He had the shrimp appetizer. It was tasty but a small portion

Spent a fabulous weekend on Geneva on the Lake for my mother’s 80th birthday. We had dinner and breakfast at the restaurant and both meals were great and the atmosphere was lovely. There is a covered patio so we were outside, socially distanced and the tables were spaced out so it felt very intimate. Reservations are required. At dinner there was a keyboard player, and you have lovely views of the lake and the beautiful grounds. The menu has only 5-6 entree’s and our party of 10 tried several: the vegetarian ravioli and scallops dishes were delicious and presented lovely, the steaks that were
