What are people saying (AI review summary)? The reviews offer a mixed but predominantly positive perspective on the establishment(s). Many guests praised the beautiful venue, great location, and exceptional food, highlighting delicious entrees like beef tenderloin and salmon, and a wide variety of excellent desserts. Live music and entertainment were frequently mentioned, along with a good breakfast spread and friendly staff. The place is highly recommended for special events such as galas, weddings, or fundraisers. However, some guests reported negative experiences, describing certain patrons as snobby and disrespectful, leading to a perception of the place being overrated. A specific minor issue noted was a very high bathtub in a bathroom, making shower access difficult. It also appears to be a members-only club with a policy allowing dogs after 4:30 PM.

Stayed here for a night before our cruise. Good breakfast spread, staff is very friendly and rooms are not bad. But the bathroom had a tub which was very high and hard to get into the shower and to step out.

Snobby people, disrespectful, who they own the world. Not humble. Overrated place. I have been horseback riding and playing over 15+ years. Not coming here again!

I was here with my wife to celebrate a friend's very special birthday. A beautiful venue and great location. The food was exceptional and exceeded my expectations. A salad starter with an assortment of lettuces was fresh, crispy and was dressed with a great vinaigrette. Beef tenderloin was portioned well and was as tender and flavorful as I've ever had. Served with potatoes and vegetables done perfectly. The other entree was broiled salmon over couscous with caramelized carrots, broccoli and asparagus. Both entrees were sauced. The desserts were brought out on carts with choices of Tiramisu, Chantilly with Berries, a German Chocolate cake and a Cheesecake. I had the Chantilly and my wife the Tiramisu. Both were really good. Guests at the table had the other choices and were very pleased with their selections. Live music was provided by the host. They did everything from Motown to the Rolling Stones and more. If you're planning a special event like a gala, wedding, fund raiser or similar you should consider this place. You won't be disappointed.
