    Punderson Manor Entrance
    Greg K.

    We never knew there was a Sunday brunch buffet here despite living less than 10 minutes away! So when the friendly park superintendent let us in on one of Geauga County's "Best Kept Secrets" we made a reservation and stopped in the next day. The restaurant is on the first floor of the hotel-like lodge Punderson Manor, State of Ohio-owned but privately-run by the Xanterra Group. If driving from State Rte 87 (between Auburn Road and Rte 44), you need to drive deep into Punderson State Park to find the manor. Once there parking is plentiful off to the side of the building. Be careful for pedestrian traffic as there is a pool and several cabins nearby! We were there promptly for the start of brunch at 10:00 although the place had already been open for their usual breakfast menu. We had been cautioned to make a reservation for earlier in the day as the place was expected to be crowded for Sunday brunch. At first we were curious about this pearl of wisdom as we were only the second ones seated but about 45 minutes later the larger groups started filtering in. Good advice - earlier the better. It's not a very big restaurant but the views by the window are quite nice. Beyond the outdoor seating area immediately outside our window the grassy knoll slopes into a thick bastion of trees and waters of glacial Punderson Lake - the largest natural lake in Ohio. Of course we were very happy to enjoy this view in comfortable air conditioning rather than sweat it outside. Now the food. I have to be careful here judging the restaurant solely on its Sunday bunch buffet (our only visit so far) because any buffet will suffer that slight cafeteria-like quality caused by cooking for quantity and the ravages of what chafing dishes can do to ingredients. But here goes... For about $19/person, the buffet was better than just decent but had nothing that truly crossed into spectacular or sublime. Not divinely flavorful but certainly not bland. Nothing to complain about and, all in all for a brunch buffet, we were satisfied enough to want to come back time and time again. The selection of their Sunday brunch buffet included the standard fare of scrambled eggs, bacon, and bangers (not cheap link sausage). There were biscuits & gravy, herbed potatoes, and herbal chicken. A variety of fruit salad, cold plates, and pastries were also offered. One of the two highlights of this Sunday brunch buffet is the meat carving station. The prime rib was decent - not as flavorful or tender as nearby competitors (see: Dutch Country Restaurant in Middlefield or JD's Post House in Parkman) but will do the trick on a Sunday morning. However, the omelet bar, of course being the other highlight, with the usual assortment of meats and veggies was definitely a winner. Again for Sunday brunch? Definitely - and many more to come. If we don't keep stuffing ourselves with brunch, we may even have room to try out dinner sometime! ;)

I also asked for a lemon wedge, not a slice, since you can't squeeze a slice. Next came our espresso martinis, one for each of us. We actually felt the bang for our buck -- strong, well-balanced, and worth every penny. For our appetizer, we shared the gluten-free BBT meatballs. It was delightful. Then our Cobb salads arrived, each with shrimp added. We requested a side of extra-virgin olive oil -- not a blend -- and the kitchen got it right. For dessert, we shared the cheesecake, minus the graham cracker crust because my friend is gluten-free. I would have preferred the kitchen plate it for sharing and provide dessert silverware with it, instead of us having to flag someone down. I'm also industrial seed oil free, and Hailey was attentive to both of our dietary needs throughout. The manager, Chris Nichols, stopped by to check in and ensure we were satisfied -- a clear sign the restaurant is customer centric. I actually thought Chris was the GM. Kudos to the general manager, Ben Lano, for inspiring great teamwork. Lastly, I give the ambience four stars, simply because we don't have a Michelin-starred restaurant in Ohio.

Our reservation was 07:15pm and we were greeted and seated promptly. The servers were spectacular. They were very attentive and paid close attention detail. The servers made sure we had beverages at all times. Now on to the food and drinks. I had the espresso martini it was of the best I've ever had. For dinner I ordered the catch of the day which was a seafood linguine and it was good little spice which elevated the dish to new heights. I also had the spinach dip very flavorful. My husband had the meatballs and for entree the prime rib sandwich which he said was delicious. Overall the ambiance was very pleasant and the staff were very welcoming. I can't wait to dine here again.

Overall, I am glad that a couple dozen of us were able to support this local, independent business, especially since the owner herself stopped by to greet us all one by one and give us a short history lesson of the historic building/former home (formerly owned by wealthy local man, George Ford) and the business itself! The recipies are from the owner's grandmother, whose name is actually Quintilia! As part of our tea party package, we had: -Hibiscus berry tea -Cinnamon orange spice tea -Tomato tortelini soup -Petit fours -Homemade scones -4 half sandwiches and 6 bite size desserts Imo, the best dessert was a small lemon tart! In all honesty, everything was very good! I would recommend adding a small salad to the line up, however. Also, make sure to call ahead of time to buy scones to go! There is, of course, a cute gift shop is on the 2nd floor. I didn't buy anything this time. I spent some time looking around the inside as every room is decorated differently. So in all, my bill came to $51 total with tax and tip. Most of us had leftovers to bring home - i did not. Make sure to call ahead for reservations!

    We came here on a whim for some holiday tea and were delighted!

The owner took the time to share some interesting information about the location, namely its history as a mansion and the background of the name. It felt like stepping back in time. Definitely recommend to anyone visiting Burton!
