My family & I went to this restaurant recently. We had seen the advertisement in a hotel magazine during a stop in nearby Gainesville . Based on the adverstisement we reserved for lunch. We were the second table to arrive when they opened at noon. The place was charming , the hostess & waitress very nice. We ordered some fied green tomatoes & mushroom appetizers that were brought promptly & were delicious. We should have left after the appetizers.

I ordered a delmonico steak " Certified Prime" $24.95 & my wife ordered the fish special $19.95 . My teenage kids ordered cheeseburgers. The place filled up quickly. I dont know if it was what we ordered , both items were advertised on the menu or perhaps since we were tourist & not local folks, but our lunch order took an hour & five minutes to arrive. We were the second table to sit & the last (I kid you not) to be served.

Once it came the food was marginal. The steak was small , fatty, gristly & cold. The fish was good and the burgers were ok. They had obviously been sitting for quite awhile since nothing was hot. The sides were average. We waited 65 minutes & ate in 10.

Perhaps this is a fried foods & french fry restaurant because that is what many seemed to order. They advertise beef, quail & venison....I cant imagine what those would taste like. This place is not cheap..... what is upsetting are the prices. For $24.95 you should get a good steak like you do at any steakhouse.... Ruth Cris, Mortons etc which will serve you an awesome steak for $24.95.

I left feeling ripped off.........never agin.
