    Terrible Food at a Hefty Price.

    We were staying at the resort and were happy it had a restaurant since there aren't many choices close by. However the food isn't good at all. We ordered BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwiches. They were $10 each and only came with chips. The sandwiches were...More

    Very good food

    Food and service are excellent I had breakfast, lunch & dinner on site and both the quality and price were very good. The service & atmosphere are very good. It is easy and helpful to have a good restaurant right on site.

    Okay Services, Okay Food

    Average Food

    Perhaps because we are visiting this location after the season this restaurant was not at its best. If you want to pass yourself off as a "resort" the staff should be outfitted better in the restaurant. The food was very average and very little thought...More
